“You were one of the kindest souls in the world, you lit up the room and the world is a lot darker now that you’re gone.
“Hope, wherever you are, you are the gremlin we all know and love.
“Miss you so much already.”
Mrs. Weir planned to move to London in the coming years to spend time with her family and expand her professional and social networks.
Ms Weir said she had recently graduated with a double degree in English literature and psychology from the University of Sydney
When asked what set her apart from the other Miss Universe contestants, she pointed to her broad range of interests.
Ms. Weir revealed that she had been riding horses since she was just three years old.
“My family isn’t exactly sure where this passion comes from, but I’ve been riding since I was 3 years old and can’t imagine life without it,” she said.
“I travel to rural Sydney 2-3 times a week to train and compete every other weekend in New South Wales or wider Australia.”
The model said she was also passionate about English literature, namely poetry, saying it was an incredible way to connect with others.
“I love representing myself in the best way possible by writing my own poetry, but I also find it fascinating to find a common experience with people from completely different walks of life,” she said.
