MY DARLING DAUGHTER, MY SISTER, MY BEST FRIEND, MY SOULMATE
Sarah Ann Davies was taken so tragically and suddenly at 2.46am on Sunday 17th September 2006, after
being hit and run over by two cars on the dreadful M25 2nd lane, between junctions 2 and 3,
southbound (from Dartford Bridge). She'd already escaped from a car crash being driven by her
friend while travelling home from Dartford pub with 2 other friends. The 3 friends survived. She
was 19 years, 9 months and 7 days old.

Romford Recorder, Friday 5th September 2008

Jurors weep over deaf teenager tragedy
GIRL DEATH CRASH: NO JAIL FOR DRIVER
The driver who caused a terrifying motorway crash that led to the death of a deaf Romford teenaged
girl, has avoided a jail sentence.
Victim Sarah-Ann Davies, of Romford, survived the collision but was hit by another car as she walked
into the road to warn other motorists.
Simon Allen, of Edith Road, Canvey Island, (Southend) Essex, was fined £1,500 and banned from
driving for two years, by a judge at Maidstone Crown Court on 27th August 2008, after being cleared
of dangerous driving, but admitting careless driving.
The jury was not told, until after returning verdicts, that 19-year-old Miss Davies was killed in
the incident on the M25 at Darenth, Kent.
The judge said Allen's driving was "lamentable" and had horrific consequences, but added: "The fact
is, however, my powers are constrained in the light of the jury's verdict."
The court heard Miss Davies was in a Renault Clio driven by close friend Lauren Smith, then 19, in
the early hours of September 17, 2006. Miss Smith's brother Lee was also a passenger. All had
hearing problems and travelled to a Dartford pub that held functions for the deaf.
John O'Higgins, prosecuting, said Miss Smith was in the middle lane at 50mph when Allen crashed into
the back of her at about 70mph.
He said Allen, 41, did not see the Clio until it was too late.
Both cars came to rest on the central reservation, pointing in the opposite direction. "The case
against Mr Allen is that he is responsible for a wholly avoidable collision," said Mr O'Higgins.
The jury had to decide whether it amounted to dangerous driving. The prosecution suggested careless
driving was inadequate.
Miss Smith had only held a full licence for seven months and not driven on a motorway before.
Mr O'Higgins said the rear lights were on, making it perfectly visible to Allen. The Clio would
have been visible for about 500 metres before the collision.
Allen denied he had been inattentive or distracted. He denied dangerous driving, admitting careless
driving.
Mr O'Higgins said Miss Davies had been drinking when she stepped into the motorway in a manner which
was completely unforseen after the collision.
"In what may have been an attempt to warn other drivers, she was knocked down," he said. "It falls
into the category of an event which was unforseen and not a direct consequence of what happened in
this accident. For that reason, the defendant is not charged with causing death by dangerous
driving. He falls to be dealt with for the lesser offence of careless driving."
The prosecuter said Allen had criminal convictions, as well as an endorsement for speeding shortly
before the crash.
Jurors hearing about the tragedy for the first time wept as they left the court. Miss Smith and
other friends and relatives were also distressed.
Peter Clark, defending, said Allen's bad driving had appalling consequences. He had been a lorry
driver but gave it up after the crash. He was now an installation engineer.
-----------------
Sarah had only started her first proper job two weeks before, on 1st September 2006, with Parcel
Force in Romford. She lived in Romford, Essex almost all her life.
Sarah was born at Barking Hospital on Wednesday morning of 10th December 1986 at 9.40am, a sister to
Victoria who was born two months prematurely in March 1985 at the same hospital. They were close in
age, 21 months apart, as both were planned to give each other company and grow old together. We'd
lived with Sarah's grandparents - my parents, Ivy and Henry Cordes - in Seven Kings from her birth
until 3 days before her 1st birthday when Sarah's dad Jay (my first husband and father of Victoria
as well) and I moved into our first house in the Mawney area, Romford, with our 2 daughters.
We first found out that Sarah was Deaf on 10th February 1987, when she was exactly 2 months old
after a routine hearing test. Followed by a second opinion at the Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital
confirmed her profound congential hearing loss. Her parents are Deaf too but Victoria is hearing.
The cause of both Jay and my deafness were unknown at that time apart from the story of Rubella that
our mothers contracted during pregnancies in the early sixties. They believed at that time that
Rubella caused deafness. As I am profoundly Deaf from birth myself, with encouragment from my
hearing family to talk without signing prompted me to teach Sarah to develop her vocals from a very
early age to help strengthen her speech and pronounce words for the hearing to understand as she got
older. I am glad it paid off as Sarah learned to talk singular words from about 18 months old and
went on to speak well with the use of her hearing aids. Sarah started at a school for the Deaf in
South Woodford, East London, in September 1989 at the age of 2 years and 9 months. Sadly the school
had to close down in July 1990, after 40 years which broke my heart as it was also my school from
the ages of 3 to 16. The next school Sarah went to was a local unit for Hearing Impaired at Hacton
School in Hornchurch, Essex, which was an intergration of deaf and hearing children. From there,
she met twins Lee and Lauren Smith, Gary Cutmore, Shelly-Ann Pye, Mandy Briden and Alex Wood who all
went on to become Sarah's firm and best buddies right up to Sarah's departure from this life.
Jay and I parted in 1991 and divorced in 1992, and having sold our house during that time, the girls
lived with me alone in a rented house in Horndon Road until I started seeing Andrew in May 1992 and
we married exactly a year later in May 1993, with both girls as our bridesmaids. Sarah called
Andrew 'Dad' almost from the start and insisted on adopting his surname when she was still only 6
years old. We moved into our own house just down the road two months later in August 1993, after
our return from a two-week holiday in Florida, and it's become a home filled with so much love,
laughter, ups & downs and memories and a home that Sarah loved very, very much for the next 13 years
of her life.
Andrew and I have since given Victoria and Sarah two brothers, both now 12 and 10. * SEPT 2008 now
14 & 12 *. When I was expecting Adam, Sarah wanted a brother so much and it came true for her when
Adam was born at Rush Green Hospital in March 1994. Her reason for wanting a brother was to teach
and play football with him! Sarah was even more happier when Connor came along in December 1995 at
Harold Wood Hospital.
After Hacton, Sarah went to Mill Hall Primary School (now renamed Mary Hare Primary School) for the
Deaf in Newbury, Berkshire - in October 1997 when she was in Year 6 (aged 10/11) - her second school
for the Deaf since the Sir Winston Churchill Primary School for the Deaf closed down seven years
earlier. Mill Hall was a weekly residential school which meant that Sarah stayed at the school 4
nights and 3 nights at home a week, so it gave her a good balance of home and school life. One year
later, after passing her entrance exam, Sarah got a place at the Mary Hare Grammar School for Year
7. This secondary school was a termly boarding school, which meant seeing less of Sarah at home.
Looking back, it gave Sarah mixed feelings of homesickness and enjoying boarding school life with
many Deaf friends and I only wished that a compromise was made at the time between Mary Hare and our
LEA (Local Education Authority) to enable Sarah to continue her education at Mary Hare for the next
4 years.
I wont go into detail here, but that was the beginning of Sarah's 'downfall' for the next 2 years.
Changing schools again - this time our LEA refused to give us our option of sending Sarah to a
different weekly residential school for the Deaf so it was Sanders Draper mainstream school in
Hornchurch as a last choice, as our LEA told us. By then, I was more concerned for Sarah's happiness
so I went along with their decision, which would mean having Sarah at home everyday and keeping an
eye on her progress in mainstream education - which was totally against my principles to be taught
in a true Deaf educational setting.
Before long, I began to notice the change in Sarah - at first we put it down to adolescence, a
typical teenage growing up - but I soon saw the different side of Sarah, withdrawn and unhappy. I
wasn't having any of that to happen to any of my children so with my patience and determination, I
was able to eventually get through to Sarah's innermost troubles - and get her to open up to me. My
fears were confirmed - the root of her problems was due to loneliness and rejection at the hearing
school, despite having a 'Hearing impaired' unit and only 6 Deaf friends to content with during
breaktimes - but where were the proper deaf teaching support, interacting with a deaf class, deaf
awareness??! One of the other problems was being bullied by the hearing pupils, which the school
failed to address. Communicators often took on the 'teaching roles' that I disagreed with.
Sarah was self-harming herself several times by then. That started the 5-month dispute between
myself and the LEA in which I kept Sarah at home for her own safety and making my staunch to have
Sarah transferred to a school for the Deaf as soon as possible. The LEA caved in after the statement
panel meeting in April 2001 and by June 2001, Sarah went to Ovingdean Hall School in Brighton,
Sussex. It wasn't a good start to begin with but with the brilliant support from Mrs Bown, the
school's Deputy Principal, she gave Sarah 110 per cent and soon we began to see the sweet old Sarah
personality resurfacing - with the help of once-a-week counselling sessions she'd had for a year.
I will always be grateful to Mrs Bown for her paramount faith in Sarah and will never ever forget
her. Sarah left Ovingdean in Spring 2003, with only one English GCSE grade C to her name. I told
Sarah that it didn't matter anymore, referring to her educational qualifications, as she had the
rest of her life to prove herself by achieving far bigger things as she went along.
By summer 2003, football changed her life - for the better! Sarah joined Fulham Deaf Ladies football
team and in November 2003, she came home with the good news! She was told that she was offered to
take part in the selection process for the Great Britain Deaf Ladies Football squad and
partipicating in the 2005 Deaflympics in Melbourne, Australia. We were so excited for Sarah -
but....the only one regret I have now is never have been able to watch her play for Fulham. Apart
from watching her play for Great Britain of course, it was too big an opportunity to miss!
In March 2004, Sarah got a letter from Sharon Hirshman, the then GB manager, offering Sarah a place
with GB Deaf Ladies team who'd already won a place in the Deaflympics for the following winter! That
was fantastic news! The best news ever to happen to Sarah - come to think of it now, in her short
life. All the family were soooo proud of her!
Come December 26th 2004, we all flew out to Melbourne Australia - me, Andrew, Victoria, Adam and
Connor met up with Sarah and the whole of the GB mens and womens squads on the connecting flights
from Dubai/Singapore/Melbourne at 2am in the morning! Going to Australia was well worth every penny.
Sometimes in life, you follow your instincts and go for it. That's exactly what I did for my family
and for Sarah - just simply took out a loan to pay for the holiday of a lifetime and to give our
wholehearted support for Sarah. Life is too short, which is exactly what has happened to my
beautiful daughter - sadly.
More to follow.
dearest diane and families,
thank you for a news about sarah davies. she was a lovely daughter and is very clever with her english. i am surprised. she is peaceful rest. she is with you for rest of life no matter what you think. you will be happy to know that she won't be lost. she is an angel. i am surprsed that she had been bullied, however schoolteachers will improve hearing children and adults that will start liking deaf children and adults for a new begining of new life. keep fingers cross. my children have no trouble liking deaf people at all.
we all love your daughter very much and we never forget her.
with lots of love, catherine, john, victoria and dylan.
god bless you all.

Poem for Sarah Pt3:-: We know Sarah will always be remembered us & Forever in our hearts and our minds,
Poem for Sarah Pt2:-: It seems quite peaceful though, it was very sad But, we knew in our heart It was the right time for Sarah’s spirit to fly, For a while, before Sarah passed away, We prayed & prayed, Sarah wouldn’t have to suffer anymore, We hate seeing our people in such pain, Even know we are real sad that Sarah gone, No longer around in our sight,
Poem for Sarah:-: 'The day that Sarah departed from all of us on September 2006, We were all in any area when Sarah’s spirit fluttered away, It wasn’t at all frightening,
Croydon Deaf Sports: You are great talented footballer. Many thanks for the support with us for one day tournament last July 2006. Glad that you got trophy from us. You are always bubble, lively and sporty that we know. Our thoughts are with Diane, Andrew and their children. Our bowling team have already given 1 minutes silence for Sarah. I am sure that Sarah play football in heaven. God bless Sarah Ann Davies. From CSDC Secretaries.
ricky wear: how i rememeber sarah, well i remember sarah as a wonderful lively live for the moment kinda girl. she was always the one having the most fun and being the most lary, was never ever down in front of us and always encoraging people to enjoy themselves. was always up for a night out in town, going on adventures, getting drunk basically anything that involved FUN was sarah's things. i never got to know here personally out of the club scene, but from knowing her in general each week wehn going clubbing was enough to feel a close attactchment. it won't be the same without her when i next go to heaven, popstars or G.A.Y bar as i've mainly gone with her and the crowd. i haven't yet been since she died but i know she will be sorely missed.

Sarah the forever gigglin freckled gal!
It was only a few days ago when I've seen all the photos of your childhood, I see my daughter Layla and hope she will grow to lead a similar personality as yours.
I still can't believe that you're actually gone! A little part of me still expect to meet you at some wild party where we'd find another secluded area chatting and sharing stories and giving one another advice!
I recall vividly the time when we were looking for extrovert presenters for Channel Four's "The Vibe" and your name came immediately to mind as I found you a bubbly character and truly photogenic, you had two parts - One was at London Transport Museum with Hamish Cooke and my dear grandmother - How you and Hamish burst into hysterical laughters and kept giggling that infected the whole crew but as a director I had to bite my lips and try to take control of the situation! The same thing happened again as you took part with an interview at BBC Grange Hill with your best friend Lee Smith - it was my first proper meeting Lee and he's a real decent bloke. I shall keep an eye on him for you as you asked the last time we met at 131 in Romford.
We met at The Goose before I whisked you off to 131 where two dishy blokes from Southend took charm to me, as I ordered some drinks they spotted another bloke and pinched his buttocks but he was a straight homophobe who threatened to clobber the pair of them, you without a moment of hesitation barged in and pleaded that it was you who pinched him. He didn't believe an ounce of your story but I was gobsmacked as you put yourself to protect the pair from Southend - it just goes to show your character!
We also shared similar birthdays and star sign and I shall think of you on my birthdays for the rest of my life.
I'll join you and all my dear friends up there - give them all my love!

Sarah's memorial bench
Finally, the moment's arrived...the news of Sarah's memorial bench we've all been waiting for! It's now ready and sitting with pride at Forest Park, facing Sarah's tree.
I, and all the family, would like to thank you all enormously who have most kindly contributed towards the memorial bench, to commemorate Sarah. Our eternal and grateful thanks to you all.
* Please view the photos in the photo gallery.
Total proceeds raised so far - £1,735! Only £65 to go to meet the target of £1800 for the bench - that's fantastic! BUT I would still like to keep the Sarah Davies memorial fund going if possible - to help others out, such as sponsored events for any Deaf/hearing individuals, Deaf football, etc, in connection with Sarah's memory. Anyone who have not yet contributed and wish to do so, please do keep them coming in. Thank you once again for your continued support.
Dear Sarah,
hi hope you rest in peace as have see your family many times since your death as I know they are going to be okay for a while but it will take time as they still miss you and of course also love you always, god bless you, love Mike with million hugs, xoxoxo
Sending my love to Sarah
I love you so much and I miss you lots. I'll always love you.
Lots of love from Dominic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
