I cannot possibly refer to all the tragedies, but my thoughts also turn to the family of Rosemary Bleackley who was killed on Highway 31, just outside of Ottawa in July 1994; and to James
and Mary Agapotis, whose son Dr. Michael Agapotis was killed in a Nepean intersection in July 1993; to the family of Roeann McNeely of Smith Falls, who was killed near Carleton Place when her car was struck by a drunk driver who had crossed the road into her path; to the Peplinski family, from just outside of Ottawa, w
hose son was killed walking along a r ...[+++]oad; to the family of Robert John Hamilton, who was a passenger in a vehicle that crashed here in Ottawa at Carling Avenue and the Queensway; and, of course, to two people I have come to know and admire, Colleen MacKenzie, whose son Blair was killed just two weeks prior to his 21st birthday, and Susan McNabb, the mother of Shane Norris, who was struck down and killed in the west end of the city as he rode his bicycle home.
