Strangers from throughout Canada gather online to mourn victims of Bathurst, NB, bus crash
Jan. 18, 2008 - They’re from every part of Canada, most who never knew the seven students and one teacher killed in a school bush crash near Bathurst, NB. But they’ve congregated in memory of the students and teacher – online, at a Memory/Guest Book established in memory of the victims by Legacy.com, the largest of the online memorial Websites.
The Guest Book – in memory of teacher Beth Lord and students Cody Branch, Javier Acevedo, Nickolas Quinn, Justin Cormier, Daniel Hains, Nick Kelly and Nathan Cleland – has attracted more than 8,500 condolences to-date, which is an extraordinary number in such a short amount of time.
“As a mom myself, I cannot imagine the pain you must be going through. My thoughts & prayers are with you,” Gisèle Daigle of Moncton, NB, wrote in the Guest Book.
A direct link to the Guest/Memory Book is: http://www.legacy.com/Link.asp?I=LS000101100900X. (Legacy Guest Books allow anyone with an Internet connection to offer their memories of someone, or their condolences to the family. There is no cost or registration required to offer a condolence.)
Legacy.com is widely credited with taking the online Guest Book from a novelty a few years ago to a widely accepted way to remember loved ones and offer condolences to families.
