“She was kindness in its purist form, and radiated a beauty inside and out that will never be forgotten to those privileged enough to have met her, for even the briefest of moments.

“I felt like the luckiest person in the world to even know Saskia’s name, so to fall in love, share her life and have dreams together is indescribable and something I will treasure for the rest of my life.

“Saskia’s compassion, intelligence and vibrance gave her a quiet strength and confidence that made everybody’s life brighter.”

Compassionate and vibrant: Saskia

Saskia was a behaviour and wellbeing mentor at Hob Moor Oaks Academy, in Acomb. Her colleagues paid fulsome tributes to her on Wednesday.

Sam added: “We must continue to be the better people Saskia made us, to make her proud and to aspire to be like her, no matter how impossible that may be.

“She was and still is, in my eyes, the best of all of us.

“No amount of words will do justice to how much I love Saskia, and no amount will describe how much I will miss her.
