... Sharon to Sue De Mamiel
Hi Sue
And I have decided that you are the "Sue" that Tanya
was talking about !!
What am I talking about ??
Well, you will know what I mean when you have read the emails
on ... THIS
... page !!
I have been reading of your adventures and you seem to be enjoying
life
The lady who visited the clairvoyant lives in Hobart and I believe
Tanya would know she had to get to someone far enough away from
Cairns for me to believe the whole amazing story !!
It's been over fifteen months now ... we get on okay but life
will never be the same for us
Hope you at least enjoy the read ... I don't know any other "Sue"
in Tanya's wide circle of friends so I reckon you are "it"
!!
Best wishes to you and Noel
Note from Sue
Wow, and thanks, Geoff and Sharon
This was an amazing read
Tanya and I did share a love of sport, adventure, health, food,
wine, clothes ... although you wouldn't think so now looking
at the daggy trackie I have on !!
I have never met Kahlia but Bethany is such a sweet girl ...
I'm so happy that she has settled down with her job and her man
I think about Tanya often ... generally when watching sport ...
I'm watching the Swans now, not that she would approve !!
Well, I'd better pour another glass of wine
Thank you so much for sending me the link ... cheers

6th September 2014 ... Sharon to Amy Bender
Father's Day tomorrow and we are thinking of you and your beautiful
children, Amy
Note from Amy
Thank you, Sharon and Geoff
By far the hardest weekend yet ... as I am sure you can appreciate
I have spent the weekend writing my "journal", only
breaking to take Jayden to his football presentation
He has been, and will be until tomorrow, with a friend working
on Jason's bike
I am emotionally drained writing the journal, but this is something
I must do before my memory fades
Even if I am up until day breaks !!
I will be thinking of you tomorrow also
This sucks !!
Note from Sharon
Good luck with your journal, Amy
We know how important it is to be able to see and read both their
memories and ours
When Tanya was overseas she sent us back over five hundred diaries
and five thousand photos ... HERE
Fortunately for us Geoff was able to create our Family Web Site
... when I read those diaries now it is like she is talking to
me
I also have a little book I write down what I perceive to be
signs from Tanya or just something that makes me smile ... it
makes me feel close to her
You are right, Amy
This totally sucks ... I hate how our life has changed ... some
days are so hard ... especially "name days" like today
Sometimes I wonder how we go on, but we do, don't we ... somehow

Note from Jess
I miss Tanya a lot lately ... I can't imagine how you guys are
feeling

10th September 2014 ... Sharon to Brenton Dye
Hi Brenton
HERE
is the link to Brett’s Memorabilia Room
The page has lots of information about what is in the room and
the "all finished photos" are at the bottom of the
page
THIS
link will take you to Brett’s Gift to us last Christmas
... it is part of the above room
Very, Very Special !!
Hope you enjoy looking
Note from Brenton
Hi Sharon
Thanks for that, and I will have a look for sure
Hope all is okay with Brett and everything is settling after
the operation ... HERE
Please, Sharon, pass on my best to Geoff ... I often think of
him and wonder how he is coping ... you know what I mean

24th September 2014 ... Brenton Dye (extract from email)
Hi Sharon
Please pass on my regards and best to both Geoff and Brett
I know that all of you form a very strong unit and very supportive
of each other and although Tanya is no longer with us in body,
she certainly is in spirit
You are lucky that you have each other and with a little time
the weight of it all, honestly, does get lighter
Take care, and all the best to all
Geoff, if you ever need a hand with anything, I'm only too pleased
... okie dokie
Note from Sharon
Thanks for your kind words and I will pass on your best wishes
to them both

Geoff, our congratulations on having "The Field" named
after you ... it's a well deserved honour ... HERE
I was deeply saddened when I heard the news about Tanya
You have my family's deepest and most sincere condolences

... Karen Turner
Hi Geoff
I've just logged on to look at Tanya's Diary of her Europe trip
... HERE
... and then scroll down the page
I had breakfast with Bethany Knights yesterday and she is doing
a trip in December
We were talking about Budapest and I was telling her about these
amazing pedicures to get at the Gellert Bath House
The experience is more like going to a podiatrist !!
But this lady attacks every little bit of dry skin, etc, possible
... it's sort of torture but your feet feel great after !!
Anyway I'm looking to see if Tanya had this done ... I can't
actually recall if she went to Budapest
And I know on my recommendation she would have done this if she
had the time
But before looking I got sidetracked on the Memorial Page ...
HERE
I shed a tear as I often do when I see her face and am reminded
of how much I love her and how much I miss her, and how much
of our lives we had yet to share with each other
I was going to look at the Photo Montage from the Service ...
HERE
... and saw that you'd be happy to send out a DVD copy
I'd really like that .. and love to keep it in my 'Tanya Box'
where I have cards, etc, she sent me
The miniatures you sent me ... HERE
... are proudly displayed on my shelf next to her photo I have
had in a frame for a long time
This is the one with us in Barcelona after what we thought was
our last European dinner together, until the surprise meet up
in Cinque Terre ... HERE
So when you have time, I'd really love that
I hope you and Sharon are both well
Love
Note from Geoff
Hi Karen
and I see by your Facebook Post to Bethany
that you found Tanya's Budapest Diary !! ... HERE
We love having all of these Notes and Photos ... it is like she
is in the same room talking to us ... we miss her so much
The DVD is all done !!
I made it up as soon as I read your note
Sharon has watched it ... so sad, but also "nice" as
well, and I hope you know what I mean
There are three videos on the DVD
HERE
= #1 = Memorial Service ... 120 x photos
HERE
= #2 = Facebook Photos ... 70 x photos
HERE
= #3 = Daughter + Sister + Friend ... 60 x photos
Public Holiday tomorrow, so it will be in the post on Tuesday
Thanks for your wishes ... we are okay ... but sometimes it would
be nice to crawl into a corner and just scream
Friends, both hers and ours, make it bearable ... thank you
Our best to you all
Note from Geoff
Yep, the DVD was posted yesterday and Sharon reckons it should
be in your box tomorrow
I guess you got my email about the extra two videos I included
I have left it in a paper cover as I thought you might like to
make your own plastic case with photos and words, etc, that you
want to use
Also, there is another DVD on the way tomorrow ... just a "little
something extra" !! ... HERE
... Tanya's 30th Birthday Albumn
HERE
is a link to a story from yesterday's paper and Sharon and I
are going down to 'The Girl's Spot' at Trinity Beach to watch
it tonight ... "Red Moon"
You all have a great day
Note from Karen
Thanks so much, Geoff !!
I got the email and really appreciate it
Note from Karen
Hi Geoff and Sharon, and I have now received both DVD's
Thank you so much for them
I watched them with a heavy heart but with tresured memories
and resolution to keep living a good life, even though I'm not
so good on keeping up much exercise !!
But with two girls it's not always easy !!
Although I do start a five week yoga course on Sunday, so I am
looking forward to that |
