💜 A Beautiful Tribute to Barb Baillie — From Her Children 💜
Today I am sharing something incredibly meaningful.
Barb Baillie’s son, Chad, shared a song written in remembrance of his mom — and it is truly touching. It’s a tribute filled with love, heartbreak, and the kind of strength that stays with a family forever.
Barb was a mother, a daughter, a sister — and she is deeply and profoundly missed by her children. Her life ended in tragedy, and her absence is felt in a way that words can never fully explain.
This song also speaks about Barb’s Bench — a powerful symbol of remembrance, awareness, and hope. A place to pause, reflect, and honour those we’ve lost… and to stand beside survivors with love and support.
💜 This year, Riders United: Breaking the Silence will be hosting 3 rides — Amherst, the Valley, and Halifax. At each location, we will hold a candle lighting and a Roll Call Memorial to honour the lives lost to domestic violence. If you have lost someone to domestic violence and would like your loved one to be remembered, please message me.
Thank you, Chad, for trusting me/us with this and for honouring your mom in such a beautiful way. Barb will never be forgotten. 💜
