Wilma Derksen
After their lively 13-year-old daughter, Candace, was abducted and killed, an unusual visitor confronted Cliff and Wilma Derksen. The visitor was someone whose own child had been murdered, and he painted such a harrowing picture of the future that the Derksens knew that forgiveness would be preferable to harboring vengeance.

Eventually, Wilma's journey through grief motivated her to begin a program called Victim's Voice. She coordinates meetings of victims and offenders at Stony Mountain Prison in Manitoba, where victims can ask the questions that sometimes never really get asked during a trial. The story is told in the video "Journey Toward Forgiveness."
