Brass misses work and is looking forward to going back.

“She is a delightful friend and we all love her very much,” said colleague Emily Botha, who, together with other employees, are trying to help with Brass’s everyday needs.

On the dirty window next to her bed someone has written, “We love you Tamzyn”.

She looks forward to visiting hours when her bed is sur- rounded by her brother Luk, 17, sister Tashneen, 16, her mom Iris, 45, her aunt, her boyfriend and her work colleagues. Gifts of lipstick, sparkly headbands and magazines are always welcome.

Brass is paying for the schooling of her brother and sister.

But visiting is taking its toll on the family who try and visit her three times a day.

“They told us they later found a piece of bone from her leg and a piece of her liver on the scene.”

Two staff members from St George’s Preparator­y School were among those injured in the accident.
