Remembering Rebecca; Comfort wins first-ever Rebecca Georget Memorial Volleyball Award
Past and current members of the Prince Albert Optimist Topper Volleyball Club tested the maximum gathering guidelines for an important cause on Thursday night, remembering one of their own who’s life was cut much too short.
The Toppers presented the first Rebecca Georget Outstanding Player Memorial Award in front of the Carlton Physical Activity Complex, exactly seven months after Georget tragically died in a car accident in November.
Just about everybody that spoke either shed a tear or was trying their best to avoid it. Rebecca’s parents Colette and Michael were there to present the first award in their late daughters’ honour, a ceremony that touched them.
“It’s seven months today that she passed,” said Colette following the ceremony. “It’s quite emotional and it’s an honour as well to have your daughter recognized in this way.”
