We are still so shocked- how can this be that someone so full of life can be gone in an instant? However that life was filled making such a difference too so many others - ours included, we wouldn't be living and working here if you hadn't offered Kent a position with Tradestaff. I feel so honored that I got to meet and work alongside you Sal even though it wasn't long enough! Your family will be very proud of you. See you again someday x

We feel your heartache and grief. We did not know Sally personally - only through her Tradestaff colleague, Charlotte Parkinson. It was with much sadness to learn of a young life taken so soon. Words cannot express nor thought comprehend such a loss of your dear daughter, sister, aunty and friend. Dear family of Sally - we extend our condolences. You are in our thoughts. From Charlotte's Nana (Gwen Warren - the 'shortbread lady' of Blenheim), and Aunty Derryn (to Charlotte).
