While driving here this morning, I drove by my three girls’ school, passed the area where my husband and his colleagues were killed, and the RCMP monument. While most are able to move forward, we are left with daily reminders of what happened.

Lives were forever changed.
Lives were forever changed because of people’s decisions.

No judgment will end my and my family’s grief.
I feel very strongly that my husband would have been alive had the RCMP done their due diligence.

There is still more to be done.
