Dear Wells,
I’m so, so sorry. We let you down big time. You didn’t deserve what happened to you — no one does.
I knew you as “Trenchcoat Man” and even though our paths crossed many times, I never took the time to get to know you or to see if I could help you. I will regret this for the rest of my life.
You always seemed so quiet, sad and “far away.” You kept to yourself. You never antagonized anyone or sought trouble. You were humble and unassuming; you were an absolute fixture in our community.
My heart breaks for you and for your family.
I hope for two things: that you are happy, warm, comfortable and at peace now, and that all of us will pay way more attention to people like you who need our help and compassion.
I promise I will never forget you Wells. You’ve got my word on that. Rest in peace.
Marie Fraser,
Langley
