Hi, and I know that I am not the best at keeping in contact
But I think of you all every day ... especially today
Hugs and love to all

Fiona Pearce

Hi, and I had a sleepin this morning !!
I checked my phone at 8.30am (West Australian Time) for Facebook messages I saw that Brett had just posted that you finished !!
SO ... I wasn't actually thinking of you as I said I would be
BUT ... I am very much awed by your strength and ability to do what you do !!
I hope the rest of your day goes well and you recover without too much trouble
Much love to you all on this very emotional day

Note from Sharon
Thanks, Fiona, and it has been pretty sad
I am shattered now and off for a nap
We had a lovely lunch with Brett at Trinity Beach ... Geoff even had something as well !!
And I had champagne !!

Kahlia Pepper

Hi Sharon
Just want to let you know that I'm thinking of you this weekend ... in fact, I think about you alot
My phycologist told me that the second year is the worst as reality finally sets in and she is absolutely right ... it sux !!
I may not exploit it all over Facebook but I just wanted to let you know that I went and saw Tanya last night at Her Bike
Spent thirty minutes talking to her, laughing and crying
It's the first time I went back after that horrible day
I think she was very happy I finally came to visit and we enjoyed our bubbly together
I went to her Special Spot on the Beach this morning as the sun rose ... it was amazing !!
And then did my usual workout I've been doing there for the past month
I know Tanya was pushing me up those Stairs cause she knows how much I hate them !!
Good luck with the Race tomorrow ... you will be surprised of what strength your heart and mind can do together to push on

Note from Sharon
Thank you, Kahlia, and I appreciate your words
I know without doubt Tanya will be with me tomorrow

Jodie Wilson

Well ... it is 'run eve' !!
I know you will do great !!
I know you are prepared !!
I know your Baby Girl will get you over that line and what a Very Special Birthday Gift for you all
My thoughts, my legs, and my heart is with you tomorrow ... every single step
Yes, I wish I was running too
Very mixed emotions at the moment, but I'm directing them all to you and all the "T" girls and guys Running for Tanya tomorrow
I can see why Tanya was such an inspiration for us all ... it's been inherited from her Mummy and Daddy
You really are a beautiful family
Run safe and I look forward to seeing the Facebook Posts of your amazing efforts

Note from Sharon
Thanks, Jodie, and such lovely words
The last week has been difficult but I know I am going to do this run ... I have so many people wishing me well
Just wish things were different

Note from Jodie
Wish they were too

Jess Scott

Hi Sharon, and thinking of you this morning
I know you smashed the run and 'TMR' would have been with you the whole way !!

Note from Sharon
Thanks, Jess
It was hot and hard but it's done and I did feel Tanya with me
Had a little cry out there in the bush but I got there !!
I just woke up from a "nana" nap and about to check Facebook ... Brett put something up I think !!

Kerry Jan

Good Luck for tomorrow !!

Note from Sharon
Thanks, Kerry
Getting really nervous ... this time I know how hard it is !!
Geoff is already in bed asleep ... I am having an easy evening taking my time making sure I don't forget anything

Note from Kerry
Just make sure you eat well and get a good night's rest

Note from Sharon
Yes, mum !!

Brett Hogan

Hi Sharon
We're thinking of you guys today
Tanya would've caught up to me again today ... "39"
I'll be raising a toast to her this afternoon !!
Look after each other

Note from Sharon
Thanks, Brett, and it's a Special Day for a Special Girl
She looked after me today while I ran the Half Marathon and it was hard and hot !!
We had a lovely lunch with Brett at Trinity Beach and I even had a glass of champagne !!
Miss her so much
Thanks for thinking of us

Di Day

Hi Sharon, and good luck tomorrow
Think of you often
Sorry I didn't get to catch up
My brother in Perth son was killed in a motorbike accident and I went over and spent time with him
After coming home he has had a heart attack ... I feel helpless
I admire you so much with the way you are dealing with what you have been dealt
You are giving so much strength to so many people

Note from Sharon
Kind words, Di, and it has been a very difficult, sad week
So sorry for your brother's loss and now his health
It is just too sad sometimes ... one minute everything is going along fine and then your life changes
We have to try to be strong ... that is all there is and our loved ones would want us to go on as best we can
Take care

Keith Elaisa

Hi Sharon and Geoff
I can only imagine how you both must be feeling today
Tanya was and will remain to be an inspiration to anyone who was lucky enough to know her
I miss her
She would certainly have been out on her bike this weekend ... great weather for it
Happy Birthday to an amazing friend and thank you, Geoff and Sharon, for sharing Tanya with the world
My thoughts are with you guys often
Take care

Note from Sharon
Thank you, Keith ... such nice words
It has been a tough week all round for us we get so sad and cross she is not here with us
Being the "Facebook Queen" that she was, we feel like we are talking to her and we are glad her friends get to see how much we love her and how much we miss her

Sharon to Jaci Woodward

Hey Jaci ... no text from Tanya ... but a little message from her Mum !!
Hope you had a special day ... Happy Birthday !!

Note from Jaci
Thanks, Sharon, and that means a lot
I spent some quiet time with her yesterday
I've been thinking of you all day
Such an awesome effort today ... you are truly inspirational
Sending you and your boys lots of love this weekend

Sharon to Jaime Hunter

One of Tanya's fitness friends came up to me the other day and said she had been to "see someone"
She said the lady asked if she had lost a friend and the girl said yes
The clairvoyant then said there is a girl here with a big beaming smile pushing a bike !!
She said ... "you talk to her every day don't you?"
Tanya's friend said ... "yes, every time I drive past her bike I say hi"
The clairvoyant said that Tanya said she sees and hears you often but she doesn't hang out all the time cause she has other stuff to do
Hard to know where this stuff comes from ... but I like to believe it is true

Geoff to Kelly Richardson

Sharon to Kelly Richardson

We know you are not checking email or Facebook at the moment but we wanted you and Brett to know that my 21k half marathon "Birthday Present" to Tanya yesterday was dam sad but I finished !!
We miss her so much
Hope both of you and the kids are getting along okay

Note from Kelly
Oh, congratulations, Sharon ... what another massive achievement under very difficult circumstances !!
Yes, I have been off technology
I have been in Melbourne for a little while, spending some time with friends from my early childhood who are more like family
I am actually on my way to the airport now to come home
I was thinking of Tanya a lot yesterday, reminiscing a lot in my mind ... sent her a Happy Birthday Wish !!
I made something for you and Geoff, and something for Brett, that I was hoping to have sent so that you received them before Sunday
But I had a stint of not being well and unfortunately didn't have it ready in time before Melbourne
So I will text you when I have posted them to let you know they are on their way
You are managing to do some wonderful things in Tanya's Memory, and you 'keep on keeping on' one day at a time, the best you can, in a way that would make her so incredibly proud
What a credit you both are to her !!
Sending much love, and I will be in touch very soon
