OPEN LETTER TO WHITEHORSE RESIDENTS

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathies to all the families
affected by the behaviour and actions of people at 810 Wheeler Street.

It is my hope that the demolition of this property will help bring
some closure to a very sad story.

I would also like people to know that my mother loved all her
children, unfortunately to the point of endangerment.

I know in her heart she thought she was doing the right thing; she
tried to be supportive of better behaviour, she tried to maintain some
semblance of decency and order.

Unfortunately she was rewarded with a house full of drugged up
homeless people who showed no respect for her, her property or wishes.

This is evidenced in the turnout at her funeral, and the fact they
destroyed her home before leaving.

Please, do not enable dangerous behaviour or decisions concerning your
children, hold them accountable for their actions; no one deserves
these heartbreaking consequences.

I would also like to thank all the people who were so supportive and
helped me in this very trying time. There are too many to name, but
you know who you are.

Finally, I sincerely hope anyone connected to this house and/or
occupants seeks help dealing with your addictions. It is a big
beautiful world out there  -  you just have to see it through clear
eyes and mind.

God bless.
