Heading to Cairns

To Tanya from your Daddy


Trish and Olivia Nicholls

Hi Sharon

It was great to just read your 'Taipans' post to Tanya

I meet Tanya through basketball statistics and it was such a pleasure to know her

My mum, Trish Nicholls, worked with Tanya at many basketball events, including travelling to Cairns to award her with her Level 3 Certificate

We have just been asked by the Taipans to come up to the NBL game next Friday night to work on the statisticians bench

They are definitely feeling the loss of Tanya and we are very honoured to be helping out

It will also be a very important trip for us as we live in Sydney and we did not have the opportunity to make it the Memorial Service (HERE and scroll down) so we would very much like to pay our respects to Tanya when we visit Cairns next weekend

I am hoping you could please tell me where the best place is to pay our respects to Tanya and say our farewells ??

I am so sorry about the loss of your daughter

Note from Sharon

Hi Olivia

Tanya loved doing the stats for the Taipans and she had a great time in Tamworth where she was accredited with her Level 3

It was awesome of your Mum to come to Cairns to award it to her

There are two places that you could go to ...

The 'Bike Site' ... HERE ... which is on the highway
and a 'Special Place' ... HERE ... at Trinity Beach

The Trinity Beach place is very beautiful and we go there often

Not sure if you will have transport but if you don't, please let me know and we will be very happy to take you where-ever you would like to go

Just let us know when suits you the best

*************************************************

Note from Olivia

Thanks so much for the information, Sharon

We will definitely go to both of those places

We are going to hire a car so we will be okay for transport but thanks for the offer

We are just waiting for some information regarding flight details but we think we will have some time on Friday afternoon

If you are free would you like to have coffee with us ?? ... maybe near Trinity Beach if there is some place close by ??

We will know more information re times a little later on in the week
All good if you can't make it though

Sunday 27th October 2013 ... from Trish and Olivia

Hi Sharon

We just wanted to say thank you for today

Thank you for meeting us at Trinity Beach,
for showing us photos and telling us stories about Tanya and for your hospitality in your home

You are amazing ... a pillar of strength for your family

We are very sorry for your loss and very lucky to have known Tanya

We hope Brett wins today ... good luck to the team !!

Reply from Sharon

It was so nice to meet you ... and thank you for your kind words

It’s hard talking about Tanya when she is not here but I like it at the same time ... we miss her dreadfully

Brett’s team won so Game Three next week ... and I am sure the results will be on Facebook !!

Reply from Geoff

And hello to you two

I have a few photos and links I would like to send you following your trip to Cairns
Would you send me your email addresses and I'll forward them on

Sharon really, really loved your visit
Yes, it was and is and always will be so very sad and heartbreaking for us,
but she likes talking and hearing about "Our Precious Girl"
And let's be honest, there is both some "good stuff" and "some not so good stuff" !!

We both very much appreciate you visiting the places which are so important to us

Thanks for being her friends and caring for us

Reply from Olivia

Hi Geoff, and thank you for your kind words

Would love to see the links

Mum also found the short spiel that she wrote for Tanya when she was awarded with her Level 3
which I will forward to you ... Sharon said you might like it

It was so great to be able to pay our respects to Tanya
and spend some time in the places that were important to her

Again, we are so very sorry for your loss

What a fabulous person you and Sharon raised !!
