She was so special, so wonderful. Kortney was a whirlwind, always on the go. She loved soccer and loved "hanging out" with her Dad, my husband Terry. Even in first grade she was excelling in school. There was never a dull moment! But Kortney's gone. Terry and I and Kortney's older sister, Kodi, will spend the rest of our lives without this bright light. She was taken from us by a 17-year-old who had been up drinking at a house party just a block away from where we live. I was driving that morning, in our minivan. Kortney and Kodi were with me in the van as were my sisters, Roxanne and her little boy Kolten. We were stopped at a road construction site, with four cars in front of us, waiting to be passed through. · VINYL · CERAMIC · HARDWOOD But the 17-year-old driver who had consumed alcohol · LAMINATE · ENGINEERED · CORK · BAMBOO · CARPET didn't stop. He plowed into the back of our van, driving it · AREA RUGS · MUCH MORE into the cars in front of us. Kortney was killed outright. The at the corner of Winston rest of us suffered severe injuries. Churchill & Hwy 7, Norval The driver who hit our van escaped without injury. And to 905-873-7955 this very day, my anguish over Kortney's loss is made even worse by the fact that the boy who killed her has never shown any remorse, none at all, for what he did! I'm not telling you about Kortney to ask for your sympathy. I'm asking you for something else entirely. I'm asking you to join me in fighting to keep what happened to Kortney and to us from happening to others ­ maybe even someone in your family. If we can prevent even one death from impaired driving, perhaps Kortney's death will at least have some meaning. 12688 Winston Churchill Blvd., So I am asking you today to do two things, really.
