“I am always calling the investigator to see where everything is at and I only get calls weeks later. I don’t know what is going to happen in at any hour and I’m afraid to pick up the phone,” Stephanie said to an attentive audience at the U of L Women’s Centre and Sister’s In Spirit event. “It has been a horrible nightmare and I haven’t had closure for my daughter. I am still waiting to bring her home and her body parts are still in the landfill.”

Patsy English, who has already lost one daughter to suicide this past year says that she feels stuck with the lack of response from the justice system.

“A lot of times people look at us and think we don’t have feelings. I have had nightmares and I wake up thinking how this man can do this to my daughter? I find that it has affected our communities and the surrounding communities. They ask me ‘when will this end, when will this end?’”

Stephanie told the audience of her daughter’s alleged killer being granted bail twice and challenged the audience to break cycles of violence by raising awareness in the face of idle governing bodies and police.

A GoFundMe page has been erected to help cover the costs of Joey English’s funeral.

A candlelight vigil will take place at Galt Gardens today from 7:00 p.m. with drumming, singing, and jingle dancers to honour and help heal stolen sisters and their families.

There will also be a display of faceless dolls made by local community members as a memorial for the MMIW.

According to the Native Women’s Association of Canada the Sister’s In Spirit vigils have grown in numbers internationally from 11 in 2006 to an impressive 216 vigils in 2014.
