Loved ones celebrate slain Calgary mom, daughter with dancing and poetry
CALGARY — Loved ones of a slain mother and daughter celebrated their lives with one of the pair’s favourite activities — dancing.
More than a thousand people attended the memorial service Thursday for Sara Baillie, 34, and her five-year-old daughter, Taliyah Marsman.
“I’m tired of mourning. I want an opportunity to celebrate, and this is it,” said Baillie’s uncle, Scott Hamilton.
With that, he and his son Justin pulled sunglasses out of their suit pockets, put them on and gave each other a high-five.
