For many years I have travelled the roads to basketball games and know the precious cargo that was with me but when God calls those angels home we have no control over that. Remember those that have department with the good memories and pleasant times and remember although the game has ended here on earth the court is ready in heaven and may the grace of God be with you who are left behind until it is time to meet them all again

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families, friends and the staff of Bathurst High School in the loss of these wonderful young men.

I'm a player, coach and referee. After hearing the news of these young men who lost their life I was deeply saddened. No parent should ever have to bury their child but god had called them home and needed them by his side. They're in a better place now so I hope the families can take peace in knowing that they're kids are in good hands. Coach keep your head up and remeber the good times you and your wife shared, it's those memories that will live within you forever and will help you through the hard times. You're all in my families prayers and I hope you can get through this.

This is what we do. Shuttle and transport our kids to wherever they have to be, often in less than ideal conditions. Their passion becomes our passion and the unthinkable, although ever present, does not prevent us from allowing our wonderful children to excel, grow, and become better citizens from team play. May you find peace, in time, knowing that all involved were doing what they loved most, Another basketball Mom from years past,
