      WITHROW, Alta. — The parents of three Alberta girls who suffocated in a truckload of canola say they're overwhelmed by the support they have received from all over the world.
       
      Roger and Bonita Bott say they're still in shock over the deaths of their daughters, but are relying on their faith to get through.
       
      Catie, who was 13, and 11-year-old twins Dara and Jana, died last week after being buried in a truck loaded with canola on the family's farm near Withrow.
       
      The Botts say their daughters were "awesome" girls who liked to be involved in their church and who enjoyed farm activities.
       
      Bonita Bott says each of her daughters was quite different, but wonderful in her own way.
       
      A funeral for the girls is to be held in Red Deer, Alta., on Friday.
