As the five victims from Fridayโs horrific Bourke St attack continue to be identified, family and friends have come out to pay tribute to their loved ones who were taken in the tragic incident.
22-year-old Jessica Mudie was visiting from Sydney, has been remembered by her family as a โbright bubble of joyโ who had an โextravagant humourโ and always laughed at her own jokes.
โYou will always be a part of us and are one of the strongest people we know,โ they said in a statement.
โWe are constantly inspired by your love for everyone around you and the lengths you will go to for the people you love.โ
โYou are always up to do everything,โ the statement said. โYou are strong, beautiful, determined, always work hard to get what you want and never shy away from a challenge.
โYou are so headstrong and assertive in everything that you do, your love for your family and friends is immense, and you are always there when any one needs support.โ
10-year-old Thalia Hakin has also been remembered by those closest to her, while her mother, Nathalie, and younger sister Maggie, 9, are still in hospital.
โ(Thalia) was a really doting and caring older sister,โ her principal Beth Rivkah College, Rabbi Yehoshua Smukler tells News.com.au.
.
โShe would come and check on her sister every day.โ
โShe was a really sweet kid โฆ humble, caring, friendly,โ he added.
A fundraising page has been set up to help the family and has currently raised over $46,000.
Matthew Si, aged 33, has been remembered by his wife, Melinda, who had left him after having lunch together just moments before the attack, described him as a โdevoted husbandโ and says she and her family are โshatteredโ.
