On August 1st in Calgary, Michelle and her brother, mom, dad and uncle were walking in downtown Calgary. A huge gust of wind blew sheet metal from the top of a building under construction. Literally before the uncle finished shouting "Look out!", it was over. Michelle was killed instantly - her father and brother injured. Michelle would have been 4 years old on August 7. An artist from our business network (Cochrane Business Network on Facebook) was so struck that he created a painting of the little girl and gave it to her family.... He had another painting of Chief Sitting Eagle that he was ready to donate to the fundraiser that was sure to follow - but none did. The CBN got one going - and the generous people of Cochrane and Calgary poured out their hearts and donations. About $25,000 was raised for them.

I was a small part of this - got a couple of donations and played piano before dinner.
