The senseless actions of one individual that led to the horrific event has left our family with unsurmountable grief. She was taken so suddenly and we dearly miss our mother, wife, a grandmother and a great-grandmother. She is missed by her community and friends.
 
We cannot express how much we appreciate the love and support our family have received from our extended families, friends, as well as from community members as we continue to mourn our loss.
 
We acknowledge that this tragedy has not only directly affected our family, but affected so many other people.
 
 
We would like to thank the following people for their selfless assistance and for their genuine support to our family; The citizens of the New Westminster, Lord Tweedsmuir Community School staff, our neighbours and the witnesses who alerted emergency responders, the firefighters and paramedics, and New Westminster Victim Services. We appreciate the investigative efforts of NWPD and the I-HIT Team, especially Det./Cst. Adam Klaver.
