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 all night and had been drinking at a house party just a block from where we live. I was driving that morning, in our minivan. Kortney and Kodi were with me in the van as were my sister, 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. But the 17-year-old driver who had consumed alcohol didn't stop. He plowed into the back of our van, driving it into the cars in front of us. Kortney was killed outright. The rest of us suffered severe injuries. The driver who hit our van escaped without injury. And to 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. phone: 905-827-5141 fax: 905-827-3786 kflynn.mpp.co@ liberal.ola.org Kevin Flynn M.P.P.
