They raised a grand total of £254 and the money will be given to Sarah’s mother so she can buy a headstone for her much-loved daughter.
Meanwhile, an online fundraising page has been set up to help Sarah’s parents.
Katie Duroe, who started the page, said: “Sarah’s death came as a massive shock to all who knew and loved her.
