Thanks for this reminder. Wow. I remember that day, how sad I felt hearing about her death. I dont recall knowing that her kids were so young at the time; wouldve made it that much harder. I wonder how the past ten years have been for the family.

Awww, I was thinking about her while watching the women's final game at the Olympics! Hope her children and husband are doing well! The girls were just teeny tiny when she passed away, so sad!

Wondeful lady who left us much too soon. I too thought of her while watching the womens final. Watching the video is a good reminder to live life to the full in the moment we're in.

Uggg...I lost interest after 19.75" of the 42" video. I must have ADHD.

cal2, you're missing the whole story. Sandra Schmirler was the real deal. It wasn't "a game". She was a genuine Saskatchewan heroine. When we mourned her (and I think we all did) we were also mourning because she left a *very* young family. Please, some respect.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
