💔 Yesterday's tragic accident has left our entire province in mourning.
I want to extend my deepest and most sincere condolences to the families, friends, colleagues, and loved ones of everyone who lost their lives. Cornwall joins all of Prince Edward Island in grieving this unimaginable loss.
On a very personal note, I want to send my love and heartfelt condolences to my extended family, especially my cousin, Morgan, on the loss of his beautiful fiancée, Jenna. My heart also goes out to the entire Croucher family.
Jenna was one of those people you immediately loved. She was kind, caring, thoughtful, and had such a big heart. Jenna had a deep devotion to service, providing care and support to those in need in her role as a paramedic. She genuinely loved people and had so much to offer this world. She was also fiery, determined, and unapologetically herself. She knew what she wanted in life, and she wasn't afraid to go after it. That's something I always admired about her.
Jenna and my daughter, Carmela, shared a lot of those same qualities. In the short time they knew each other, they became very close friends. Carmela looked up to Jenna, and that friendship makes this loss even more personal for our family.
I was honoured when Morgan and Jenna asked me to be the Master of Ceremonies at their wedding this September. All of our families have been looking forward to it, and it was supposed to be one of the happiest days of their lives. Instead, we're all trying to come to terms with something that just doesn't make any sense.
I've struggled with what to write today because, honestly, I don't know if there are words that can adequately describe a loss like this. I'll admit, I'm having a hard time with it. I'm equal parts sad, angry, confused, and just utterly heartbroken.
The love and support that's been shown across Prince Edward Island over the past day has been incredible. To everyone who has reached out, sent a message, offered a prayer, or simply kept these families in your thoughts—thank you. It means more than you know.
Please continue to keep Morgan and Jenna's families, the families of the other victims, their friends, coworkers, and everyone affected by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest easy, Jenna. You left this world far too soon, but you left it better because you were here. You will be deeply missed and never forgotten. ❤️
