November 4, 2020 at 12:04 pmI had the pleasure of meeting Abbigail at the RMC Club annual dinner in Toronto shortly before she graduated. She was a fine young woman with her whole life ahead of her, and someone with tremendous potential to contribute to our country and the RCN. Like everyone else in the RMC community, I was deeply saddened to hear the news of her tragic and untimely passing. Abbigail will never be forgotten, and I extend my sincere condolences to her family, friends, shipmates, and classmates.
Rest in peace, Abbigail, you served Canada and RMC well.
