Walk honours missing, murdered women and men
As the family of Danielle Nyland laid her to rest on Thursday morning, participants in a memorial walk for missing and murdered men and women paused to honour her memory before starting their journey.
Looking on from under the trees in City Hall’s Memorial Square were the sisters of a Prince Albert woman murdered earlier this year. Monica Lee Burns, 28, was found outside of the city in a desolate, snow covered area on Jan. 17. A man has been charged with second-degree murder in connection to her death.
Her sister, Sara Carriere-Burns remembers the quick wit and humour of a young woman who had dreams of becoming a veterinarian. “She just always had something to say, and was always funny.”
Support has come from within the large Burns family, and she said family members help each other when they’re down. They’ve coped by sharing their feelings with each other.
