(Lisa Bertoletti, Carlisle and Cambridge-educated linguist and musician aged 30)

LISA Bertoletti seemed to have everything going for her: highly intelligent, personable, exceedingly talented in languages and in music. She had been a Cambridge University high flyer who seemed destined for great things.

However, it was not to be, and her potential was stifled by the depressive illness from which she had suffered, on and off, for nine years.

Her promise was cut short by illness and her life was cut short when she was struck by a train, while crossing railway lines near the Devonshire Walk car park in Carlisle.

She was just 30 years of age.
