Natasha Ryan’s sister Donna Bradbury shares heartbreaking tribute

Natasha Ryan’s big sister has described her as ‘undeniably talented’, especially at stirring up her little brother and brother-in-law in a heartbreaking tribute.

To the outside world she was known as Natasha Ryan, a young woman who went missing for five years, only to be discovered in a house 1km from her family.

But to Natasha’s older sister Donna Bradbury, the beautiful 40-year-old mum of four who became Tash Black after marrying Scott, who she lived with for all those years, was ‘undeniably talented’, with a strong ‘MCS (Middle Child Syndrome) game’.

“My heart is shattered that I have lost a little sister earthside but I have taken solace that I have not lost a little sister inside,” Donna opened up in a heart-wrenching public post on Facebook.

With arms thrown around one another and heads leaning towards each other in their photos, their smiles while together show a love that crossed further than just the bond of sisterhood.

“Fly high and fly free sissy. Until we meet again. You will forever be in my heart,” Donna wrote as she poured out her heartbreak.

She described an open, loving woman.

“You loved hard, laughed loud, and gave loyalty its definition. If something had to be said you would say it with your words…if there were no words there were your facial expressions.”

Tributes have flowed from family, friends, including her former celebrity publicist Max Markson, and the community for Natasha, who is being remembered as a loving mother, sister, wife, daughter, friend and dedicated nurse.

She was reported missing by her husband.

It’s understood Ms Black had began walking towards the Rockhampton golf course.

Ms Black’s mother Jenny Kerwin shared a photo of her beloved daughter smiling on the beach.

There have also been hundreds of tributes from people who did not know Natasha.

“You will be sadly missed it was an honour to work alongside you. Your dedication to nursing was inspiring you changed so many lives you had a wonderful aura and the way you advocated for your patients and colleagues was so inspirational. Condolences to your family. We have lost an angel but Heaven has gained one. Fly high beautiful lady,” one tribute read.

“RIP Natasha although I never met you personally my heart feels so heavy right now for you and ALL of your family,” another said.

“R.I.P dear girl, so sad. You did so much good with your life, becoming a great nurse and having a loving family,” another read.

Mr Markson also shared a tribute to his former client, saying he had “only happy memories” of his time with her.
