Wristband Commemorates Tori

Tuesday, 24 April 2012 at 07:35

More than 3-years following the disappearance and untimely passing of 8-year-old Tori Stafford, memories of the little girl continue to flourish in her favourite color. Purple wristbands were handed out this morning by Tori?s Uncle Robert Stafford to members of the media at London?s courthouse prior to legal arguments between the defense and the Crown at the first degree murder trial of Michael Rafferty. Wristbands were also handed to some members of the courts. The wristbands, a collaborative effort provided by Tori?s Aunt and Uncle who flew in from Alberta over the weekend, along with Tori?s Grandmother Doreen, illustrate Tori?s birth date and the date Tori was lured away from outside of her school on April 8th, 2009. A small graphic of a ribbon and a butterfly are also embedded on the purple wristbands ? one of Tori?s favourite creatures of nature. An inscription was also placed on the wristbands where one Reporter gratefully accepted it, smiled and said quietly to the Stafford family "Thank you, I will keep this forever.?. The first degree murder trial will resume Wednesday morning at 10AM.
