Grieving during the pandemic can be extra tricky because of social distancing, but a Windsor family has found a unique way to honour their loved one who died tragically last week.
There will be a parade through the City of Windsor to remember Kamia Barry.
Barry, who was 40, died last Thursday when the vehicle he was driving collided with another at the intersection of Highway 77 and Lakeshore Road 310. A Chatham woman driving the other car suffered injuries.
His sister, Ameana Barry, told BlackburnNews.com the parade will start at 10 a.m. Thursday at Families First Funeral Home on Lauzon Road. It will travel from the east end of the city to the west, stopping for a few moments to reflect on St. Joseph's Street, where he grew up. It will then travel to Forster High School on Felix Avenue, the Sandwich Teen Action Centre and Mic Mac Park before ending at the Signature Tributes event Centre on Dougall Avenue.
Those in the neighbourhood who knew Kamia can also wave at the procession from the sidewalk as it passes.
Meanwhile, a Facebook fundraising campaign to help cover the cost of his funeral and support his children has raised $16,614 in four days.
