PART #01 ... Notes from a person who rode past Tanya

From Tennille Denman on Sunday 20th October 2013

From Geoff to Tennille

These comments smacked me in the face with what happened on Saturday 11th May, although it is never far away at any time
BUT ... I am also so very, very glad that you sent them on
I am crying my eyes out and I don't care
Please pass on our appreciation to Paula and especially to her friend Lisa who took the time to say "hello" to Our Darling Girl
Tennille, thanks for being there for us and we are so glad Tanya Mary had a friend like you
As you may have seen on Tanya's Page, we had a "sad-but-proud" night at the Taipans game last night and Sharon is asleep right now
I'll tell her about this when she wakes and she'll send you her own note
I wish I could turn back time

From Sharon to Tennille

Thanks Tennille ... you are a special girl
This weekend has been so tough for us ... going to the baseball and the basketball ... it was terrible going knowing she wasn't going to be there
It's so hard to keep going sometimes but your friend's words did give us comfort
Also it has given me resolve to be strong like Tanya ... to try to live a life she would want for me
She is with me and around me all the time and that is what will keep me going and keep me strong
We have a long way to go

Reply from Tennille

I wish this wasn't real and I wish I could take all of this pain and heartache away
Love you guys ... you're all very special to me and I'm here for you always

From Sharon to Tennille

We'll get there somehow Tennille ... and you will too
You have a full life ahead of you
Tanya's friend Natalie said at her Memorial Service that she was going to try to live each day to the full ... appreciate the simple things and don't waste a moment
That's what Tanya did and would want us to try to do too
It's nice having you around ... Tanya would love that you have been so good to us and care for us
I would put one of those pink hearts here but I don't know how to !!

her body flew thirty metres through the air
and ended up in a ditch by the creek"
