Today, our rugby family lost one of its brightest lights, and the pain runs deep. There’s something truly special about the bonds we build in this game, the way players and parents come together, supporting one another through every match, every season, and every challenge. When you lose one of your own, it leaves a hole that words can barely touch.
Vicky was the heart of so many of our days. Always there on the sidelines with her unwavering love and support for Abbie, she became a central part of our team in every sense. Whether it was helping out in any way she could, offering a kind word, or simply being a steady, warm presence, she gave everything, even through her own courageous fight. Her strength, her spirit, and her love for her family never wavered.
Our hearts ache for Abbie and Richie. Please know that you are not alone in this. The Upton Girls family will always be here for you, to lean on, to cry with, or to sit in silence with whenever you need us.
Vicky, you will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Your love and your light will continue to live on in every game we play and every memory we share.
All our love, strength, and support
Upton Girls ❤️🖤💛
