A London Muslim family was struck Sunday by a speeding truck. The father, mother, grandmother and 15-year-old daughter were all killed. The nine year old son is in the hospital with serious but reportedly non life threatening injuries. The police have the driver in custody and are treating the incident as a hate crime.
While the teenage daughter was attending elementary school, she painted a mural in the basement of the London Islamic School. the young girl designed, sketched the preliminary art and painted the mural. It will now be a part of her legacy, said a school official.
Principal Asad Choudhary said after the girl finished the artwork, he thanked her. She responded saying, "I need to thank you, because you're giving me an opportunity to leave a legacy for a place I love so much."
The names of the victims are not in this sad post as the remaining family members have requested that the victim names not be published. And no photo is being run of the memorials that have sprung up at the corner where the family was run down as I do not want to give too much attention to the deed. For the same reason the coward who drove the truck will remain unnamed in this post.
