Eleanor Neale

She was honest, she was dependable, she was reliable and thoughtful.

The kind of person that you would want to be friends with, or the kind of student that you would want to teach.

Her parents must have known very early on that Sarah was going to grow into a wonderful young woman.

She had super strong values.

She was deeply compassionate.

Trust, generosity, and empathy were of utmost importance to her.

And just by the way, I can't not mention how stunningly beautiful she was.

She had this gorgeous, warm, welcoming smile, long, blonde, wavy hair.

At the age of 18, when she had finished her A-levels, Sarah bagged a spot at the prestigious

Durham University, which is consistently ranked in the top five universities in the whole of the UK.

It's in the top 100 worldwide.

If that doesn't tell you just how intelligent and promising this young woman was, then I don't know what can.

The entry requirements for Durham are very, very high and there's a lot of competition, but Sarah damn well deserved that spot.

She earned it.

she studied a human geography course there and honestly when i read that i was like hold on what is human geography and actually it made me feel a bit silly when i looked it up and it is quite self-explanatory it's the study of the relationship between people communities and cultures and their environments basically how the planet that we live on is affected by the humans that inhabit it

And Sarah loved her time in uni between 2005 and 2008.

She made a wide circle of friends, including a bunch of very dear, close connections as well.

One of which was a girl named Rose.

She and Sarah were on different courses, but they became very close.

And particularly when Rose's mother passed away during their studies, Sarah was really there for her.
