Bec Thomson Boxing Day celebrations at Moonlight. So many laughs, dam swims, pizza events, horse riding and happy family memories. We all followed Sal around as kid’s and shared many good times. As we got older Boxing Day celebrations became the party of the year and Sal like all of us enjoyed those times together xxx 1990 sometime may 1996

angelica samut Hello All,   Three & half weeks later, I'm almost back to the land of the living and feeling like emailing some pictures of our beautiful daughter, Miranda (taken last week). Sorry this is a group email, but best I can manage at the moment during her nap time & between dishes/washing etc. Joey actually took these photo's last week, but it has since taken me another week to get a minute on the computer. Each morning, my choice of clothing is determined by whether I can nap in them or not, so yes, very slack and have been dressing in tracky dacks each day. Hair is always in pony tail & I have just managed to brush my teeth today by 1pm. She has just gone down & has been awake since 9am & only went down after her 3rd feed since then.   I keep wandering into rooms and finding a half finished job that I started several hours ago.   Today washing and dishes are done & dog fed. Yahoo!   Thank you to all for the lovely cards/flowers/gifts/phone calls & well wishes. We've been very, very spoilt and have been so touched by everyone's kind words. I hope to have actual thank you cards in the post.... soon! Or... before she is walking, okay? And she should be walking very soon, as she is already v. mature for her age. She is very articulate and vocal, parties 'the wee hours of the morning, sleeps all day, loves to end the long day with time in the day spa with a lovely bath & grabs a quick massage. She plays games tirelessly - her favourite is a really cool game called "spit the dummy" (can't wait 'til she learns to more advanced game called... "Find the dummy yourself & go back to sleep"). She also loves hanging out with Dad and being read trashy Magazines by Mum (she told me she'd rather save the children's books for when she is learning to read by herself... probably next month). I will take suggestions or voting now for the best career to guide her into. I think she'll be tall and she has HUGE feet! Seriously, the whole length of my index finger. Her (half-siblings) sister Sarah has size 10 feet and brother has size 13 feet, so I think she will be a little Thorpette swimmer.     Actually, we really are blessed and she is a very, very good baby. We are learning some routine, so managing to get some sleep at night now. The anniversary of her first week saw hourly feeding from 11pm to 6am and I was weeping as much as her, with sheer exhausion/agony. Breast feeding was proving to be v. challenging with much nashing of teeth (mine) and gums (hers). However, sorry if this is too much info, but nip shields have saved the day and saved a trip back to hospital to give her back.    So some photo's attached... some with Aunty Katrina & my Mum.   Love Sally, Craig & Miranda xxxx

Bec Thomson Cousin/Aunty Sal with Grace. A lovely visit to Qld. Sal was still wearing a moonboot and recovering from her ankle injury but she was not going to miss a moment to meet Grace. Sal was like another sister to us and she always made an effort for her family both immediate and extended.

Emma Workman There was dancing, singing and eating!!! Sal, thank you for always making the effort to help celebrate our special events. This is certainly one of my most memorable times with you and your beautiful family- up there with your amazing day in the vines at moonlight. We are so appreciative for the efforts to navigate travelling into state and time off work. Michael and I were thrilled to have you, Craig and Miranda with us to help celebrate our Marriage xxx

Chris Smith Somewhere on the African continent. Will never forget this trip with my gorgeous niece.

Amanda Mooney Sal and Mick - Victoria Falls (Zambia) We went through every kind of rain ...sideways rain, little bitty stingin' rain, fat rain,

Peter Mooney The pre-party for Jess and Stephan's wedding, Okavango River (border Namibia and Botswana) just below Popa Falls. Lots of laughing and fun - and hippos and crocodiles in the River

Emma Workman Jess and Stephans Wedding. What a great celebration.

Amanda Mooney Following Sal's advice yet again.... Making sure that Aunty Chrissy, Ruby and Greta each had a little floral arrangement to wear for the wedding ceremony... 'Snip it off that bunch in the bucket' said Sal, only to realise a short while later that the 'bunch' in the bucket on the deck was the wedding bouquet!

Bec Thomson A pic I think Sal shared with me or with our family WhatsApp group. While it’s not my direct memory it’s such a beautiful photo of these gorgeous girls that I wanted to share with everyone. They look like twins. From memory this may be a movie they went to together.

Michelle Grainger Sal’s last day at home. Sooo happy to be with her clean sweet smelling baby, Clancy (Even though it’s me in the video). Listen and always remember the voice and laugh you hear. Let it forever warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. ❤️❤️

angelica samut We miss you when something really good happens because we want to share it with you. We miss you when the kids are being silly and have us in stitches cause we know you’d be in stitches too. You brought cheer and a quiet reassurance of the good in the world. We miss the loudness of your presence and the way our ear would feel hot and red after a long chat. You would celebrate people’s victories and cheer the wins with exuberance. We miss you when life gets tough or the kids drive you mad, like when the kids get out of bed 50 times for every excuse under the sun because you understood, that’s why you bought us the book, just go the fxxk to sleep.. and we laughed at the familiar scenarios. We will miss those laughs and shared understanding. We miss the funny chats, the glasses of wine and the stories, the way you we’re always in everyone’s corner.. Missing someone is a part of loving someone and we all know the strength of the love you brought to our lives in your absence You were the reason many people felt welcomed, seen, heard, valued, loved and supported You brought laughter and in your absence tears but we will think of you in all those moments
