Jackson Leith Wright will be laid to rest today at 2:00pm!!!!

P.S. I noticed many people around the globe are visiting this post...if you know the Mother of the poor child? Can you asks her to email me the story she wrote to the Paper??? I would paste her loving letter to this post...email me at oldmaison@yahoo.com...:)

It's issues like this I have a VERY difficult time in understanding the definition of the word - Death!!!

Why do some people die so young will others grow old enjoying the highs and lows of life?

I had MANY conversations with my good Priest over this issue and all I could get is this - It's not for us to understand now but will will truly understand later...:(

I walked up Smythe Street Monday for a doctor appointment on Hanwell. That hill is a killer. < heart >

I return to the area once I found out where the tragedy happened.

Minutes before arriving to the area, I noticed a couple kissing each other before lifting the hood of a vehicle. I guess they just came form work.

A couple that just got married and bought a new home to start a family.

Minutes later, I arrive to the area where the boy was killed.




There were no vehicles gathering at a home or flowers where the accident happened. People were working on their garden and you didn't thinking that a young boy just lost his life 24 hours earlier.

I wasn't going to ask any questions of where exactly the death happen? I went to the stop sign and put this cross in the grass.





A little prayer and quickly left the area.

Yes...let it poor or rich...tragedy can hit anyone...so sad..

By the time I finish this little blog...Hundreds of other little kids have died from around the world but we will never know who they are....:(

My deepest sympathy to the Family...:(



Here's the info -

Life Legacy

Wright, Jackson Leith

Born in Edmonton, Alberta on July 27, 2006, left our world on Sunday, June 14, 2015 following a tragic accident. Our sweet boy will be treasured always by his mom Jackie, dad Jeff, and sister Abby, along with so many other family and those who were fortunate enough to know him during his brief life. Jackson was an avid sportsman, playing baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and was looking forward to football this fall. He loved school, his Grade 3 French immersion class at Connaught Street School and all his neighbourhood playmates. Jackson brought joy and laughter to all around him. We love you, Jackson, forever.

A Memorial Service will take place at Grace Memorial Baptist Church on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at 2 pm with Dr. Barry Craig officiating. For those who wish, gifts in Jackson’s Memory may be made directed to the Connaught Street School Playground Improvement Fund. Personal condolences may be offered through www.yorkfh.com
