MELBOURNE: The mother to Shane Warne’s children has posted a moving tribute to the legendary cricketer, saying he was taken “too soon” from their lives.

Simone Callahan posted a montage to Instagram in which she said Warne’s greatest love was for his children.

“Shane was taken too soon from their young lives,” Callahan wrote.

“Eternal love remains and will never leave. Vale Shane.”

Ms Callahan was married to Warne from 1995 to 2005, during which the couple had three children: Brooke, Jackson and Summer.

Her tribute comes as Warne’s 20-year-old daughter wrote a heartfelt tribute to her late father days after his sudden death in Thailand.

Summer Warne posted the emotional tribute on Instagram about midnight overnight.

“There is no words,” she wrote, alongside a photo of her with her father.

“It feels like I’m dreaming, waiting for someone to wake me up and tell me that you’re okay.

“This can’t be real life. There’s no way that life is this cruel to the most beautiful people on this earth.

“There’s no way that I will never hear your soft voice again telling me that ‘everything is going to be okay’ or how ‘proud’ you are of me, or simply saying ‘goodnight’ or ‘good morning SJ I’ll see you in the morning, I love you…’

“Moments before the world took you away from me, we were jamming to ‘Summer of 69’ and ‘I’ve Had The Time of My Life’.

“Talking about how much you loved that song and seeing your smile light up the whole room while we danced and couldn’t stop laughing at each other.

“God you made me laugh dad. Little did I know that was the last time I would ever see you dad.

“I’d do anything to hear that laugh again, anything to hear your voice, anything to have one of your cuddles, anything to be with you again just one last time. I wish in your final moments before you went off to heaven and before you took your last breath that I could tell you everything was going to be okay, and to hold your hand and tell you how much I love and look up to you.

“I took our time for granted dad and I would do anything to have more time with you on this earth.

“Our time was robbed and I wish you would come back to me.

“You may not be alive dad, but you will forever live inside my heart, I will cherish the memories till my time is up on this earth and I am reunited with you again.

“I love you dad, forever and always will be my Father no matter where you are. Love your little girl SJ and I will continue to make you proud.”

Warne, 52, died suddenly from a suspected heart attack on the Thai island of Koh Samui on Friday.

Police in Thailand confirmed last night Warne died of natural causes, following an autopsy conducted by a forensic doctor at a hospital in Surat Thani.

Last night, the Warne family shared their heartbreak after the cricket legend’s death.
