We Will Never Forget

 William

Feb. 22, 1977 - May 22, 2015


On this Remembrance Day here in Canada, we remember those who have served in the military, but also those Police Officers, Firefighters and First Responders who have given their lives in service - including our son William who gave his life when his water bomber crashed in a fire tornado near Cold Lake Alberta.  We will never forget.

    Such a terrible loss! And followed so soon by your own loss of mobility. I cannot even imagine the pain and grief you endured, but I sure can marvel at how you have carried on, embracing the wonders of this world.
