Susan Everard says her daughter ‘added to the beauty of the world’
Sarah Everard’s mother said her daughter “added to the beauty of the world” as she paid tribute to her humour and principled nature on the five-year anniversary of her murder.
Writing for British Vogue, alongside a picture of Sarah taken at V festival for an online street style series in 2010, Susan Everard said she “loved clothes and fashion” and had “her whole life ahead of her” when the photo was taken.
“It was a golden time when she had recently graduated and was back home from travels to south-east Asia and already making plans for future adventures” she said. “Although it is bittersweet, I love to see her, happy and beautiful, with her whole life ahead of her.”
Susan Everard recounted some of the ways she missed her daughter, including swapping recipes, asking for her advice and hearing her laugh. She described Sarah as “thoughtful, dependable and highly principled”, and said she “appreciated the absurd but could also be outraged at injustice and bad behaviour.”
