With so much terror and misery on our streets these past few months, we can be excused for wondering how any light or positivity can come out of these dark times. But every tragedy has a human story that sometimes profoundly touches people beyond the devastated families and friends of the souls who have been lost to us. Christine Archibald was one such soul. Having worked tirelessly as a support worker for the homeless in a homeless shelter in her home city of Calgary in Canada, Chrissy’s visit to London was part of a European trip to spend some time with her fiancé, and London was to be its highlight. Yet, through cruel chance, her life was one of those so cruelly taken from us in the London Bridge attacks. Chrissy died in the arms of the man she loved. Her picture that was soon broadcast in the television news reports showed a young woman in her prime with a smile that radiated warmth and kindness and would light up a room. Her family said that she “would have no understanding of the callous cruelty that caused her death” and added this request: “Please honour her by making your community a better place. Volunteer your time and labour or donate to a homeless shelter. Tell them Chrissy sent you.”
