He was struck down by a hit-and-run driver at about 9:30 p.m. on a highway in Sydney. 

It is unknown why Jackie was walking on the highway at that time.

Anyone with information is urged to call 902-794-5800 or 1-800-803-RCMP (7267) or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Jackie was a Canadian Air Force veteran. He served as a peacekeeper in Kuwait in the early 1990's. He also helped with the cleanup of Swissair Flight 111, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax International Airport in 1998. 

Jackie was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder three years after participating in the Swissair cleanup. He finished his career as a master warrant officer and retired in September of 2016. 

Jackie was a staunch supporter of "Soldier On", which is a support program for P.T.S.D. survivors. His family requests that all levels of government step up and provide increased support for military men and women who suffer from military-related trauma. 

The circumstances of this fatal accident are unknown at this time. Most hit-and-run deaths are caused by drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs; or by drivers who

Angels of God, pray for Jackie and for those
who have lost him. 

are texting or talking on their cell-phones; or by drivers who are speeding. 

We offer this advice to all drivers: If you find that you are drunk, wasted or doped up on street drugs or prescription drugs or if you are falling asleep on your feet, do NOT drive. Call a family member or a friend for a ride; or take a taxi or a bus; or stay where you are until you sober up; or crawl home on your hands and knees. It will be better for you and for the world if you do.

Regret can last a lifetime.

Jackie's loved ones are devastated over his sudden and tragic death. He loved his family and his friends. He loved life. He was a giving and selfless man with a kind spirit. He tried to help others. He did his best. He will be forever mourned.

Carol Bujold - a Good Samaritan in Montreal, Canada

During the afternoon of August 9, 2016, Carol Bujold, age 51, was driving a 45-foot truck on a major highway in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 

Carol is often a male given name in Quebec. 

Carol Bujold running to the burning tanker truck

A truck in the lane in front of several others suddenly came to a halt, a van behind that truck suddenly stopped in traffic, Carol's truck slammed into the van and then a petroleum tanker truck struck Carol's truck from behind. 

Carol got out of his truck to see what damage had occurred. The male driver of the tanker truck behind him was calling for help. He was trapped by his steering wheel which was pressing into his chest. 

A video of the accident scene shows Carol Bujold frantically running from one side of the burning truck to the other, with a crowbar, trying to pry open the tanker's doors in order to free the trapped driver. 

The heat and flames were too much to bear and an explosion could have been

imminent.  

Carol was unable to free, Gilbert Prince, age 52, who tragically died at the scene. 

Carol Bujold cut his hand badly during his attempted rescue. He was greatly shaken up by this series of tragic events and by his inability to save the trapped truck driver. 

Sadly, other passing drivers did not stop to offer help. 

Carol went into shock and had to be taken to a nearby hospital but was later released. 

Carol's co-workers consider him to be a hero. He is the type of man who would help a total stranger. 

Gilbert Prince, who died in this tragic accident, was a resident of Sainte Anne des Plaines, Quebec. He was a father and a grandfather. Co-workers describe him as a professional at his job. He was a kind-hearted man.  

Carol Bujold is a Good Samaritan. 

God bless Carol Bujold and all who step up to help strangers in distress. Amen. 

Good Samaritans are the everyday heroes of the modern era. 

Pray for all who die suddenly. They are with us one moment and are gone before we can say goodbye.

Jenna Gazzola - a murder victim in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Jenna Gazzola, age 34, died on or before April 18, 2016, at her apartment in the Corktown District of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. 

Jenna Gazzola

Hamilton is about 45 miles southwest of Toronto, Canada. 

Tragically, Jenna was found deceased on April 19, 2016.  Her dog had been found wandering the hallways of the apartment building which led the caretaker to call the police. 

Shane Shakeshaft, age 27, who lived on the same floor of the apartment building as Jenna, has been charged with first degree murder. 

It has been reported that Jenna's door was forced in. It is not believed that Jenna had any relationship with this man, other than possibly to say hello when passing in the hallway. However, as of this posting, their relationship is uncertain. 

However, how does it happen that a door is forced in, in an apartment building, and no one hears the commotion?  No one steps outside of their apartment door to see what is happening on their floor? No one intervenes or calls the police? 

God save us from an increasingly disconnected and unconcerned society. 

If you have any information about this crime, you are urged to call the Hamilton Police Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submit tips online at crimestoppershamilton.com.

Jenna was originally from Guelph, Ontario. 

She was a teacher of English for adults at the St. Charles Adult and Continuing Education Centre in Hamilton.  

Holy Mother, pray for Jenna
and for those who have
lost her. 

Friends describe Jenna as a wonderful person and an outstanding teacher. She cared about others. She had a smile for everyone.

Pray for justice for Jenna.

Pray for Jenna's loved ones who have suffered an unspeakable loss. 

God save us from the stalkers and the psychopaths. They are killing us, Father. Amen. 

Pray that Jenna is in Heaven. Pray that she is at peace and is with God. Amen.

At about 5:00 p.m., on March 16, 2016, she was walking to her apartment from the University when she felt extremely ill. She was dizzy and her vision was becoming blurry.

She knew she was in trouble and waved at a car coming toward her.

The driver of the car was Neil Vary who was returning home from his workplace at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Neil stopped, and seeing that Christina was in distress, offered to drive her to the Emergency Department at a nearby hospital.

He was very concerned for her health as she seemed to becoming sicker by the minute.

Neil walked Christina into the Emergency Department and straight to the triage desk.

in distress.

Staff there quickly attended to Christina. She went into surgery to remove a blood clot in her brain.

Christina will fully recover. She will recuperate at her family's home in Oakville. Her husband has flown in from Australia to be with her.

Christina's family are extremely grateful to Neil Vary for coming to Christina's assistance. They realize that people are often hesitant to stop for strangers who are waving them down on the street. People are afraid of what they may be getting involved in.

Neil stated that it was the staff at the hospital who saved the day. He also stated that if he or one of his loved ones were in a similar situation, he would want someone to pull over and offer help as he did.

Neil is a Good Samaritan. 

In this troubled world, we need more men and women who will step up for others. 

God bless Neil Vary and who all come to the aid of strangers. Amen.

Nicole Guimond - a victim of domestic murder in Ontario, Canada

Nicole Guimond, age 28, died on February 14, 2016, at her home in Odessa, Ontario. 

Nicole Guimond

Nicole was known as Nikki to her family and friends. 

Odessa is about 15 miles west of Kingston, Ontario. 

Tragically, Nicole was shot and killed by her former boyfriend, Travis Sayyeau, age 24, who then shot himself. Travis was taken to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Both Nicole and Travis had worked together at a restaurant in Ottawa before they became a couple. Later, they had moved to Odessa when Nicole's mother offered them her house to live in while she travelled abroad. Nicole was working at a restaurant in Kingston. 

In recent months, the couple had broken up but continued to live together as roommates.  This was supposed to be a temporary situation until Travis sorted out his plans for the future.

Nicole had met a new boyfriend just a month ago. It is speculated that Travis could not deal with the fact that Nicole had found someone new. 

Hindsight is 20-20 and it is easy to come up with advice after the fact. However, if you are experiencing a relationship breakdown and feel that you are losing control because of it:

~Speak to a friend or a family member who you know is calm and who will not exacerbate the situation.
~Speak to a priest, a pastor or someone you trust. 

~On the Internet, look up "crisis line" for your state or province and telephone them. They will have counsellors on the line who can talk to you about your situation.

~Go to the local hospital's emergency room and say that you are losing it and that you need help. You may need strong prescription drugs to calm you down. You may need immediate psychological counselling. 

~Do anything you can to prevent yourself from murdering the person you once loved. 

Friends describe Nicole as a loving woman with a big heart.  She was generous and kind. She always had a smile on her face.

Nicole's loved ones are devastated over her sudden and tragic death. She will be

Nicole is survived by many loving friends and family members including her mother.

Darius Garda - Police Officer - Toronto, Canada

Constable Darius Garda died on February 3, 2016, in Toronto, Ontario. 

Darius Garda

Constable Garda was a member of the Toronto Police Department. He worked out of Division 51. 

He is reported to be in his early 30's. 

His body was found on February 4, 2016, near a city pier in the waters of Lake Ontario. 

It is believed that Constable Garda committed suicide. He was on sick leave at the time of this death. He had been receiving professional counselling. 

In April of 2010, Darius Garda and other officers of the Toronto Police Department's Division 51 shot and killed Wieslaw Duda, age 50.  Mr. Duda was suffering from schizophrenia.  Sometime after 1:30 a.m., Mr. Duda had been driving erratically on city streets and when stopped by the police, he refused to exit his vehicle. He drove towards the officers, striking one who flew into Mr. Duda's windshield. 

Several officers opened fire and Mr. Duda was shot and killed. A ruling came down from the Ontario Special Investigations Unit that the officers were justified in opening fire. 

However, Darius Garda was suffering from several mental health issues and as a result of this incident he also developed post traumatic stress disorder and severe depression. It has been reported that this incident put Darius over the edge. 

Michael, Patron Saint of the
Police, pray for Darius and
for those who have lost him.

The Toronto Police Department is in mourning over the death of their young brother. Darius was a well respected officer. He was a caring man and was well liked. He is described as moral, sensitive and mild mannered.

Darius' loved ones are devastated over his sudden and tragic death. He did his best. He will be forever mourned.

Pray for all who are tormented by mental illness of every kind.

Karanpal Singh Bhangu and his son and wife

Karanpal was working a late night shift at a convenience store in south Edmonton. At about 3:30 a.m., three masked males entered the store to rob it. It does not appear that Karanpal resisted the thieves but he was shot in the stomach and mortally wounded.

A funding site has been set up to help the Bhangu family with expenses.

Camille Runke - a victim of domestic murder in Winnipeg, Canada

Camille

Camille Runke, age 49, died on October 30, 2015, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Reports from Winnipeg are sketchy and conflicting. It has been reported that Camille died outside of her place of work or at her home.

However, during the morning of October 30, Camille was shot and killed by her ex-husband, Kevin Runke, age 46.

Kevin Runke fled the scene and 3 days later his vehicle was spotted by police in a rural area about 45 miles south of Winnipeg. The Police attempted to stop him but he drove off the road and into a wooded area. Tragically, he shot and killed himself inside of his car.

Friends and loved ones of Camille state that she underwent months of harrassment and abuse from her husband.

She had a restraining order against Kevin Runke. They were in the middle of a divorce. He had tried to flood her basement in the middle of the night. He was charged with that crime and was due in court on November 9, 2015.

Friends stated that Kevin harrassed Camille relentlessly - putting nails on the street that she drove on to get to work, breaking her car windows, and cutting the oil and brake lines of her car. He often sent her threatening emails.

When friends heard of Camille's death, they stated: "He finally got her."

Kevin's former employer stated that Kevin had been happy and was a good employee before everything fell apart in his personal life. He was eventually fired at the end of June, 2015.

There is a huge lack of police resources in all cities in North America. However, domestic abuse requires a great deal more attention from the police than what is currently available. Who else can help a woman who is being continually threatened by a man, if not the police?

Hindsight is 20-20 and it is easy to come up with advice after the fact.

Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, who
said: "I am ground like a grain of
wheat.", pray for Camille and
for all who are ground down by
domestic abuse. 

However, if you are experiencing a relationship breakdown and feel that you are getting out of control because of it:

~Speak to a friend or a family member who you know is calm and who will not exacerbate the situation.
~Speak to a priest, a pastor or someone you trust.
~Go to the local hospital's emergency room and say that you are losing it and that you need help. You may need psychological counselling. You may need strong prescription drugs to calm you down.
~Do anything you can to prevent yourself from murdering the person you once loved. 

Camille's friends and loved ones are devastated over her senseless and tragic death.

Camille is survived by many loving friends and family members. She will be forever mourned.

God save us from those who once said that they love us and then kill us. Amen.

Pray that Camille is in heaven. Pray that she is at peace and is with God. Amen.

However we offer this advice to ALL drivers: If you find that you are wasted, drunk or doped up on street drugs or prescription drugs or if you are falling asleep on your feet, do NOT drive. Call a family member or a friend for a ride; or take a taxi or a bus; or stay where you are until you sober up; or crawl home on your hands and knees. It will be better for you and for the world if you do.

Regret can last a lifetime.

Daniel was a talented dancer who liked to play strategy games. He and Harry were in Scouts Canada and were looking forward to attending their first Scouts Camp. 

Mary, Holy Mother, pray

Jackson - a good kid in Toronto, Canada

In a world full of sorrows, it is heart-warming to come across a human interest story that reaffirms one's trust in the future generation.

Librarians at the main branch of the Toronto Public Library found a note attached to a comic book that had been returned. The comic book was torn on one page. It could be repaired with a single strip of tape. 

The comic book had been borrowed from the library by "Jackson", who wrote a note addressed to "The Library". 

The note from Jackson said:  "I am sorry that a page ripped when it fell out of my bunk when I fell asleep reading. It won’t happen again. I’m sorry. From Jackson.”

Librarians at the branch stated that parents sometimes apologize to staff members if their children have damaged a book, but rarely is a note received from the child involved. 

You have to love this kid saying that "It won't happen again", as if falling asleep while reading was somehow his fault. 

The library staff posted an entry on their Facebook page that said:  "Here’s to many more nights falling asleep with a good book, Jackson!”

The library staff were quite impressed with Jackson and so are we.  

Jackson's loved ones are raising this boy with a sense of responsibility and accountability. Both of these traits are greatly needed in our world.

André Creel and Jean-Michel Gélinas - Good Samaritans in Montreal, Canada

Just before midnight on March 12, 2015, a woman inadvertently fell onto the subway tracks at the Jarry Metro station in Montreal, Quebec.

She was unconscious and was bleeding.

Three men were standing on the subway station platform and heard people calling for help.

The men could hear a train coming in the distance. They jumped down onto the tracks at great risk to their lives. Some of these rails are electrified with 750 volts which can easily kill you.

Two of the men are André Creel, age 27, and Jean-Michel Gélinas, age 29. The third man did not give his name to reporters.

The men all said that they reacted in the heat of the moment. They saw someone in

need and responded automatically without thinking.  It was just the human thing to do.

They were able to pull the woman up to the platform and called transit staff who quickly arrived and stabilized the woman who had suffered a head injury.

Transit authorities are happy that the woman is okay but state that if a situation like this arises, you should use a Metro emergency phone to communicate directly with the underground control centre. The control centre can cut the current and stop oncoming trains. An emergency phone is found on every subway platform. There is also a lever at the phone station that you can pull to cut the power to the tracks.

God bless André Creel, Jean-Michel Gélinas and the unnamed man who came to the aid of this woman. They are Good Samaritans.

God knows that we need more men like them on this Earth.
