Nieve Lafferty

Remembrance 1

Relationship: She was in my friends group which included cousins of mine and various other friends

Location: Helensburgh

Tribute:She was a close friend within our friend’s group and we got on very well. I knew she took the death of her boyfriend very hard but didn’t expect her to commit suicide even though she said she always wanted to be with him.

Remembrance 2

Relationship: I worked with this young person.

Location: Argyll & Bute

Tribute:Neve was such an outgoing girl. She loved doing her hair and putting her make up on. She took pride in her appearance. She was good at listening to other young people and giving her personal opinion when asked. She loved music, and loved to dance around. I was lucky as Neve was very apprehensive towards staff and workers and often refused to work with them. However, she openly stated that she trusted me and we met regularly. Neve also lost her boyfriend to suicide and she could not cope with this. All she wanted was to be with him. Her life changed forever after that.

Date of Birth: 1994
