CALGARY- A grieving Red Deer family devastated by a highway crash earlier this month has received a generous and timely gift.
46-year-old Eric Cote was killed in a pileup on the QEII north of Calgary on March 7th, leaving behind a wife and two young daughters.
All three suffer from a genetic disease that causes tumours in the nervous system.
The family has been struggling financially since Eric Cote’s death and the crash left them without a vehicle.
On the weekend, a group of Alberta businessmen, who wish to remain anonymous, bought Cote’s wife, Ghislaine, a 2013 Ford Escape with the help of Legacy Ford in Ponoka.
It comes complete with winter tires, a service package and an extended warranty.
The car will help Ghislaine Cote and her children get to medical appointments.
