Sarah was a gift from above to me when I needed it. She gave me a job as a cook at Grey Gables. That opportunity helped me find my career. I will always remember her as a very giving, wonderful and understanding person.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sarah Hedgpeth! She was such a gracious, lovely lady. I was friends with her son Richard during high school years, and when I moved back to Wilmington at the age of 19, Sarah hired me to work at Gray Gables. The two years I spent there paid all of my expenses and tuition for two years at UNCW! I was living on the Beach when they opened the Trolley Stop for Richard and Rhonda. After graduation I got married and moved away, but whenever I came back I would stop by Neptune's. My mother called me when the Gables burned, and it broke my heart! That was Sarah's baby, out of all the restaurants,
thar one was hers. After BC died, I lost touch with the Hedgpeths, but I never forgot them. And I never forgot the kindness shown to me by Sarah! May she rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I learned of Mrs. Hedgpeth's passing when her granddaughter stopped by our home which was built by BC and Sarah. When we purchased the home at Eastport for my mother, we were thrilled to know that it was the Hedgpeth home. My mother insisted that we never change the stained glass of the birds at the entry. She knew they must have meant so much to Sarah and mom loved them as well. I went to Middle and HS with Sally and spent many a day at their home on Harbour Island as a child. I can remember driving to check on the Chapel Hill restaurants as a middle schooler with Sally and I sitting in the back of BC station wagon and riding through the marsh on their glass bottom boat. So many sweet memories at the Hedgpeth home. Would love to connect with you Sally. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother lived a wonderful life and I know you will all miss her dearly.

She and her husband, made my wedding remarkable! I was in the middle of exams at UNC-W, excited about our upcoming wedding, with reception @Gray Gables, when I received a call, from the Hedgepeths, that it had burned down, 2 days before our wedding. They went far and beyond, still had reception on the lawn of Gray Gables on a beautiful day! They were wonderful people and so talented. May they rest in peace.
