Every morning I get up … I make a coffee and check my emails, facebook , twitter and then visit the Vocm website to read news and check the weather update.
This morning , The top story on the Vocm website was about the tragic death of a Torbay teenager this past weekend : Travis Wheaton.
I had never met him…. but Instantly I filled up ….. heartbroken for this family …..
What to say ? There is nothing I can say to his Mother…. yes , I sent a message . I expressed my condolences . But there is nothing I can say that can help her. Her world is completely shattered and nothing will ever be the same.
I think of his friends , and classmates …. just as I thought of yours , Zachary . How their hearts are also broken as they struggle with ‘death’ at an age when most of us thought we were invincible.
I think of all the teachers , through the years, who graded papers, encouraged him, offered praise…. and their heartache, at a time when they hoped for their students to have a bright future.
If there was any advice I could give : it would be to those who knew Travis . If you have a memory , write it down , share it with his family. You have a photo : get a copy. Give it to them.
Those are among some of my most treasured items .
A letter from Patricia Ann, telling me stories of Zachary, how polite he was , and offering to do anything to help us .
‘The Dragonfly Story’ , given to me by Tracy Gardiner…. and how she contacted the City to have the park named in Zachary’s memory.
A friend , Lisa Quirion, had a photo of Zachary riding his bike , taken by her son Scott.
The children at Roncalli ( and the teachers ❤️) made us a quilt and a memory book ❤️
I have so many more like that …. but those are the things … the moments… that can truly mean so much to a parent who has suffered the most unimaginable heartbreak

Another senseless tragedy…Travis was in school with Mackenzie. The young people of our community will struggle to make sense of this. Parents and family, make sure you talk to your young people about this… let them know it is ok to grieve and help them understand how to do so. They will all choose to ‘be ok’ but this will be an overwhelming time for everyone…each of them need to know they have a safe place to turn too if needed.
Our hearts are forever with the Wheaton family.
RIP young man, words can’t express how you will be greatly missed.
