Commiserations to the family, no one likes to lose a child or family member and especially at this time of the year.

A lot of things have been said in regards of Centrals but one thing is for sure everyone involved with the CDBC will rally behind the family and help out in anyway.

Just wanted to say that the father of Hayley (julian) sponsors both myself and Jye Watson for Centrals, its a huge loss and leaves a hole in my heart, for anyone that knew little hayley she was a ball of life and its so tragic. Such a beautiful life taken from us so prematurely, please have the family in your thoughts and prayers. We will never forget your smiles Hails!!!!

Sure puts things into perspective. Basketball, and all clubs for that matter, are about supporting one another and obviously the CDBC community are doing all they can. What a tragic accident. I don't know Hayley or her family but know of one her good friends who is missing her terribly. A very popular girl who will be sadly missed. My thoughts are also with her sister and family.

2 recent tragic road deaths within the Basketball SA community (Barb Dunn and Hayley Centenera) helps put life into some real perspective.

Please, think of your family, friends, basketball buddies, and SLOW DOWN!

As a former ambulance officer, the true tragedy of road accidents is never known unless you have lost someone, or held someone in your arms on the roadside as they pass away.

Please, especially the kids/teenagers who read this forum, if your in a car with mates, and they aren't driving safe, get them to stop, get out the car and ring your parents, or someone you trust to come and get you. We don't need anymore senseless deaths!!

....our thoughts and Prayers are with you all.....

sincerely,

the brooks/woodville/academy/36er families

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. The support from everyone has been overwhelming especially from CDBC. Genna has a long road to recovery but she is a strong young lady and should make it. The family will miss hayley beyond comprehension, she was truly a little angel. Please include Jade Williams (Genna's best friend) in your thoughts and prayers. She too lost her life in the same accident. She was a beautiful young lady and will be sorely missed.

my prayers go out to Genna and her family, i didn't know Hayley but i met Genna a few times through Jade Williams and thought she was a wonderful girl. i hope you have a swift recovery Genna, its going to be hard but dont give up girl! I dont know if you believe in heaven, but have faith that where ever Hayley is Jades looking after her!

To all teenagers
never believe you are invincible because that's not the case! being a good driver only comes with experience. not enough drivers, especially new drivers know what to do if things go wrong when their driving and people think only of their own driving. unfortunately you can't trust everyone else on the road to drive safely, so you have to drive as if other drivers wont do the right thing. I would recommend to all drivers that if they can afford it take a defensive driving course, it will save your life better then any air bag ever will!

just wondering on the progress of genna?

I went to school with Hayley and she was the most beautiful, bubbly girl i have ever known. My sister was friends with Jade and when we both found out we were devistated. I hope Jenna has had a good recovery, and i wish all the best to the Centenera family. Hayley was a beautiful girl and it is such a sad loss.
