Bill Hoadley, a family friend, says the family is deeply affected by the tragedy but wanted to express their thanks to the community for its support.

Paskall, 53, was found severely injured in the Newton Recreation Centre parking lot, the victim of a vicious assault while she was waiting to pick up her son after hockey. She died in hospital on Tuesday.
