Bradley Monks wrote on April 20 that he had received word that the attacks were on his sister’s street, and the couple had not been heard from. The couple lived in Portapique, N.S., and had two sons, according to a fundraising page set up for their family. Multiple social media accounts, including by relatives and a New Brunswick church, shared sadness at the news that the Bonds, a couple who “were loved by their family, friends and community,” are among the dead. She had worked on charity projects providing food and laundry service for the homeless, her son said, describing her as a “living, walking angel.” Thomas worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield in the United States and after moving to Nova Scotia, she threw herself into volunteering with her local church. Justin Zahl said his father worked for FedEx before retiring and later worked as an educational assistant with special needs students. The pair met in North Dakota and later moved to Albuquerque. John Zahl, in his late 60s, was originally from Minnesota. Thomas, a woman in her late 50s known as Joanne to friends and family, hailed from Winnipeg and fell in love with Nova Scotia on a trip during her teenage years, Justin Zahl said.Īfter raising two sons in Albuquerque, N.M., Thomas and her husband retired to their dream home in Portapique about three years ago. “Of course we all know the answer to that question,” he wrote. Thomas and Zahl have been missing since their Portapique, N.S., home burned down on Saturday, and their son Justin wrote on Facebook Wednesday night that he has been told it could be three weeks before formal identification is made of bodies found inside the home. – The victims in one of Canada’s worst mass killings include an RCMP officer, a teacher, two nurses, neighbours of the shooter and two correctional officers killed in their home.
