[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]At a time when most of us are preparing to join friends and family in holiday festivities, Colleen Ouellette is watching old home videos in disbelief. She still hasn’t recovered from the shock of a tragic car crash that claimed her entire family.
On Thursday, the grief-stricken woman was preparing for a memorial service for Scott, 17, Tracy 16, Steven 13, Kevin 9, and her ex-husband Jerry, all killed in an accident during a snowstorm November 30th.
“One day at a time is all I’m doing right now,” she said bravely, before adding, “Make sure you give your kids a hug all the time because you don't know. That was my whole family. That was it. Just like that, they were all taken from me.”
The day that turned all too horrific began routinely enough. Colleen did the same thing she's been doing every other weekend for the past six years. She dropped her kids off in Gravenhurst where her ex-husband picked them up to drive back up to North Bay. They got as far as a small town called South River, when their Ford Taurus collided with a transport truck head-on, killing all five of them instantly.
“I still don't believe it. It hasn't sunk in. I was supposed to pick the kids up on December 21st and they were with me for a week for Christmas, and I think on that day…it's going to be really, really tough.”
“I've got five angels,” she concluded, her words lingering in the silence of her empty home.
