A young mother has died of a rare form of cancer just eight weeks after getting engaged.
Sarah Martin, 31, had longed for a dream wedding, but her condition worsened before she and fiancé Simon Hubbard could walk down the aisle.
Now Mr Hubbard has been left to bring up the couple's five-year-old son Brandon with the help of Miss Martin's mother Susan.
Today, the family joined to pay tribute to Miss Martin, who was a pupil at the Blyth Jex School before going on to work as a carer at the Hellesdon Hospital.
Sarah underwent chemotherapy at Addenbrooke's and because her condition was so rare was also treated at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Trust in Stanmore, Middlesex.
“At Stanmore they said they only knew of about 10 cases of this type. She asked her doctor if there were any survivors and he did not answer so obviously there were not any. She did not want to know if she had 'x' amount of time to live. She decided she wanted to live as normal a life as possible because she had got Brandon and she did not want anyone to feel sorry for her.?
She said her daughter had no specific dreams or ambitions she wanted to fulfil - just to enjoy Brandon and enjoy life.
Miss Martin also leaves behind her father Tony, 61, and brother Dean, 34.
“She loved caring for people. She just had a way with people. She was a really bubbly and friendly person and had lots of friends. Her one thing in life was Brandon. She enjoyed doing everything with him. The staff at Hellesdon were devastated. Brandon doesn't really understand what has happened.

You`re missed so much!
On behalf of myself and Sarah`s son Brandon god you`re missed and not a day goes past without us talking about you.Brandon remembers his mum as someone who was loving,caring and always thought of others 1st it saddens me when i look at him and see how much he has grown without his mother beside him but i hope she is watching and looking down so that she can see he is one in a million and is my life as he was to Sarah,Brandon said to me the other day "Daddy if we had all the money in the world could we buy mummy back from heavon" I replied "I so wish we could but Mummy is in heavon cause she was too poorely and was hurting too much and we want mummy to be ok"I could see a tear well up in his eye and reassured him and said i`m sorry!Simon
