Hi, Geoff and Sharon
I hope you didn't get offended by my letter

Text from Sharon
It is Sharon Roneberg here ... we absolutely loved your letter !!
I would really like to meet with you for a coffee if you would like and if you have the time before you move to Brisbane
Your letter was beautiful and touched us deeply
Please let us know

Text from Olga
I'm glad you like it ... I would love to go for a coffee
But first I would like to tell you my feelings and how it all started
I will write you a letter and I will leave it there again
Writting with a pen brings out my emotions better
I asked Tanya a favour thinking it was my imagination but I was granted with something beautiful
I think she wanted ... ...

Text from Sharon
That is amazing
Thank you and looking forward to meeting you

Text from Olga
Sorry I didn't finish my note above ... I was talking to someone
I believe she wants to give a Message to Geoff
I think I should meet him and maybe give him a hint to cope
I don't like to talk to spirits but I feel them as I feel my Parent and Brother
Then after I'll let her get in my head
Sounds all weird but that is what I feel
I must return the favour to Tanya ... please tell Geoff to come along
Thanks ... Olga

Text from Sharon
I will ... thanks
Just let me know when it suits

Text from Olga
Maybe Sunday ... I find myself more relaxed on Sundays ... around 4.00pm in the Trinity Beach Tavern
I have blonde and curly hair and slim
I'm Spanish/Australian and you will notice my accent

Text from Sharon
That will be great ... thank you again

Text from Olga
By the way, so sorry for your loss
Such a wonderful person Tanya ... I feel how wonderful she was
Be very proud you had her in your life, even for a short time

Text from Sharon
Thank you ... she was, and still is, Our Amazing Girl !!

Text from Olga
Yes, I feel she is very proud of you too
We choose are parents before we born to make us who we are
See you on Sunday

Text from Sharon
See you ... and this contact is wonderful !!

Hi, Olga
Could we meet at Tanya's Plaque tomorrow at 4.00pm ??
Geoff has emphasemia and struggles with stairs and is also not able to talk for long
I hoped you could have a chat with him and then you and I could go to the Tavern for a coffee
Also you said you may write another note ... we have checked each day
Just wanted you to know if you did leave one we haven't seen it
No worries though ... will see you tomorrow

Text from Olga
Hi, Sharon
I didn't write a note ... I've been thinking and listening
How long has Geoff been sick ?? ... is he diagnosed with lung cancer ??
Yes, of course I'll see you at The Rock and then we can go and talk

Message from Sharon
After I sent the note to Olga about meeting at The Stairs, we exchanged lots of texts (as above) and then she rang me
She speaks very quickly and is a little hard to understand
I explained you did not have cancer
It seems her Father had emphysema as well but has since passed away
She spoke about her Father and her Brother's connection after the brother died but I was a little confused about what she was saying

Notes from Sharon
So we met Olga at Tanya’s Plaque ... she is Spanish and has a strong accent
She asked about the person who murdered Tanya and what happened to him andasked why we didn’t appeal the sentence ... she didn't understand our justice system
Geoff told her how Tanya lives in his room and they spend all day together
She said "we should throw her in the ocean"
A very insensitive thing to say to us although I don’t believe she meant to be
This was about three minutes into the conversation and Geoff told her he was leaving and went and sat across the road
We chatted for a few minutes ... she genuinely was sorry she had upset Geoff
She said she felt that Tanya wanted her to write the letter to us
She waited a few days before she left it at The Plaque and she felt Tanya urging her to leave it
She also said that she felt Tanya telling her to go and check where she had left it while she was walking
She did check and that was how this contact was made
I did want to see what she had to say so she and I went and had a coffee at Fratellis
She mostly spoke about her own experiences with the loss of her own Brother and Father
She did not say anything about a Message for Geoff as she had indicated in her text and I forgot to ask her
She said Tanya had a beautiful aura about her and a joyous spirit and that I did too
And mentioned that Tanya wants us to know she is okay and happy

Text from Olga
It was nice to meet you, Sharon
You are a Great Mum and Person ... I admire your Courage and Kindness
Tanya had so much of you ... and she is very proud of you
Don't let anything change you
You are awesome !!
