Chanda
We got to know Chanda 6 years ago when my wife Miriam started therapy at Daniels Kimber in Saskatoon. She was one of the many therapists that helped Miriam rehab from a highway accident. An accident eerily identical to the one that claimed Chanda and her family.

Written by: Paul Wipf on Saturday, August 1st, 2015
Written by Lisa Guenther Writer with Grainews and Country Guide.
