Open letter to Bathurst parents

To the parents of the 7 Bathurst High School boys,

On January 11, 2008, your lives were changed forever. I know how you feel. On June 30, 2002, I lost my 17-year old daughter, Malori, in van rollover accident.

While Van Angels is an education and advocacy site, we also are very aware of the heartbreak that happens when you lose a child. I receive many emails from parents who lose children. I understand what you’re going through.

Today, know that I am praying for you. I’m watching the following video and thanking God for the wonderful kids you all have. I honor their memory and their legacy.

When you’re ready, send me an email. I would love the chance to hear more about your son. Your son who is waiting for you in heaven.

God bless,

Mark Smith

PS. In memory of our daughter, Malori Aslan Smith. The following 4-minute video highlight was taken a few days before she was killed in a van rollover incident on June 30, 2002.
