On a chilly Saturday morning, Kerri Workman and Malcolm Eyjolfson spent their time delivering sanitized Easter dinner packages and shovelling walks.
It’s making a hard day a little brighter. “People say it gets easier every year, but we just get through it,” Eyjolfson said.
The couple’s son, Bryce Eyjolfson, passed away when he was 11 years old. April 10 would’ve marked the young man’s 17th birthday. “He was a very generous soul,” Workman said. “He’d bring his money to different Christmas campaigns and during the flood, he was right by our side volunteering.” This year, his parents have decided to honour him by donating five full Easter dinners to Calgarians in need – whether they’re in isolation, sick, or have simply fallen on hard times.
