Dear all, this is Emily and Daisy, Sarah's daughters.
We are so sorry to have to share the news that our extraordinary, kind and talented mother, Sarah, passed away recently. It is immensely shocking to us all, and came with very little warning.
No words could ever express all that she encompassed, or begin to describe the crater her absence has left. We know how profoundly she has impacted the lives of so many, and we couldn't be more proud of the legacy she is leaving behind. We only wish she'd had more time to share her knowledge and brilliance with us, and the world. Our grief knows no bounds, nor did the reaches of her incredibly unique and irreplaceable spirit.
We know how much she treasured the relationships she had with all of her friends, colleagues and collaborators, many of whom she stayed in contact with here, and we thank you all for being a part of her enriched life.
ACE will continue, Sarah Whiffen should be able to answer any questions about that.
She didn't want a funeral, so we won't update the page with any information regarding one, but please feel free to comment and share your memories of her here with us, and with others. We'll keep the page up for as long as we can. We may not respond to posts or messages right away, as we're still processing the situation, but please feel free to use this space to share with/support one another.
Best wishes
Emily and Daisy
