I can waste it --- or I can use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded it for. I want it to be a gain and not a loss, good and not evil, success and not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price that I had paid for it.” – Author unknown In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation at www.heartandstroke.ab.ca His family is extremely grateful to the cyclists, Canmore Fire Rescue and EMS, and Canmore Hospital Emergency trauma care for their heroic efforts.
