I'd written earlier about the "Highway of Heroes,", the stretch of Ontario's Highway 401 that links CFB Trenton--the Canadian military base where Canada's Afghanistan war dead return to their country--with Toronto, where Ontario's chief coroner investigates at his office's headquarters on 26 Grenville Street just west of Yonge. (Torontoist features an interesting 2006 interview with former Chief Coroner Barry McLellan on his office and its roles.)
Last Sunday, Jerry and I were walking north across Wellesley Street alongside Church, in the heart of the gay village, when we saw the police prepare Wellesley Street for the passage of the latest coffin with its cortège of police and other official vehicles. Some pictures were taken.
Just behind the hearse, I caught a glimpse of a sad, dark-haired and black-dressed, woman looking from the open window of a long black car. I wonder who she was.
