12 years on...
Dear Tanya
We never met, but I started Year 7 at Roundhay the following year after your tragic accident. One thing I remember vividly about my first few weeks of high school is the teachers telling us about you and what a bright, happy girl you were. I remember Mr Clephan the Head talking in assembly about the moment he heard they weren't able to save you in hospital. He seemed very solemn and moved and I think we all felt the same during that talk.
I have never forgotten you and I'm sure many of my former classmates and teachers haven't either. I know after what happened, people took action to make the school bus journey at Roundhay safer, so that nothing like that could ever happen again.
I was happy to learn from an old newspaper article that you were able to donate organs so someone else could have life. From what I hear about the kind of girl you were, I'm sure you would have been happy about that.
You just came to my mind recently and I was pleased to find this online memorial so I could leave this tribute to you. It's hard to believe it has been 12 years now. I am now in my last year at university and you would be nearly 26 now, less than 4 years older than me.
Rest in peace Tanya
God bless
Angel

I will always remember you
I had been nursing for a few years when I decided to do my Childrens Nursing Course.
One of the placements that I had to do was in A&E.
One of the patients I had to care for was you.
It was heartbreaking.
All these years down the line I cannot forget the images of you in the A&E. We all wanted so much to help you, to save you. Unfortunately the injuries you had were too great, if you had survived you would not have been the happy cheerful girl the news reports said that you were.
I am sure your family is still very raw from your death, I certainly will never forget you and I hope you really do rest in peace.
I wish I had known the girl that made you what you were, but unfortunately I only met you at the very end. I hope your family can take peace in the knowledge that in A&E we pushed and pushed and pushed that team to do what they could for you.
We achieved little, but at least your family got to say a proper goodbye to you.
Sleep well.
MY ANGEL

A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
That never can be filled.
Lonely is the home without you,
Life to us is not the same,
All the world would be like Heaven,
If we could have you back again.
The happy hours we once enjoyed,
How sweet your memory still,
But death has left a vacant place,
This world can never fill.
How dearly we loved you,
And prayed you might live,
But God just beckoned,
And we had to give.
God give us strength to bear it,
And courage to fight the blow,
What it has meant to lose you,
God alone will ever know.
May God of love and mercy,
Care our loved one who has gone,
And Bless with consolation,
Those left to carry on.
