This week on Wednesday 11-4 we will mark 1 year since the tragic, avoidable accident occurred at Grade A. I know how difficult this is for all of us. I wish there were words I could use or actions I could take to bring comfort and peace to everyone. Unfortunately, there are not, however please know we are here as a Company of Champions and family to support each other.
Wednesday will be a special day when the COC and the community come together to honor and remember all those lost and impacted. I know for many of us, if not all of us, we do this every day. This particular day will be full of all kinds of emotions. I hope some of them are pleasant as we remember those who we lost and the business that is no more with fond, joyful memories. There were so many wonderful times.
I want to thank all of you for your continued courage and strength to move forward. I cannot tell you how important it has been to me and the strength it provides as we have navigated through this horrific event. For John Boy, Megan, Trina, Alain, Ella, Angela, John, Tony, Carlos, Matthew, Lou and his beautiful granddaughter Kimberly along with the 3 pilots we live our lives in honor of them since they were tragically and needlessly taken from us far too soon.
WE WILL BRING JUSTICE TO THEIR MEMORIES AND HOLD THOSE RESPONSIBLE ACCOUNTABLE. Most importantly, we must always remember and never forget those we lost on that fateful day. May they all be resting in peace, and their wonderful memories bring comfort to all of us.
With a heavy heart,
Sean
