"That morning she said goodbye and I said bye and I'll see you and I love you," Belcourt said."I get a pounding on the door15 minutes laterby the RCMP to tell me that my wife was hit on King George Highway."

"My wife was very special to me. She was basically my life and my support," he said."I miss her so much. To the driver of the vehicle who took her life, please come forward now so that my family can have closure."

Belcourt plans on taking Josie's ashes to her family in the Philippines.

He calls the driver's actions cowardly, but says his wife was the type of person who probably would have forgiven them.
