Now it's my turn to ask all of you nice people to join me in prayers, good thoughts and positive vibes or whatever you do, for the families and friends of the 7 young men and one teacher who died in a terrible accident friday night, just about one mile short of their destination. They were members of a basketball team, coming back from playing a game in Moncton which is a trip of about 150 miles on snowy and icy roads to Bathurst NB. They were traveling in a 15 passenger van which included 4 other people, 1 is out of hospital and the other 3 are in stable condition. The driver was the coach and the teacher who died was his wife, his daughter is one of the 3 in hospital. The 7 young men were 15 and 17 years old, they are called the "boys in red". Bathurst is a small town, everybody are friends or relatives. The mayor decided to have the wake at the arena, so that it could accomodate a large amount of people, this afternoon there were long lines waiting to go into the arena. Tomorrow at 2:00pm will be the funeral service in the arena. The teacher will have her funeral service on thursday. Bathurst has recieved e-mails and phone calls from people all over Canada and elsewhere in the World asking if they could help in any way, The province of New Brunswick is mourning the lost of those young lives. Thank you very much for reading this and take care. Dixie in NB.
When I give to you something I made with my hands I share my heart.
