Christine Archibald was a bride-to-be who moved from Canada to Europe with her fiancé. 

Her heartbroken family has released a statement, writing:

“We grieve the loss of our beautiful, loving daughter and sister.

She had room in her heart for everyone and believed strongly that every person was to be valued and respected. She lived this belief working in a shelter for the homeless until she moved to Europe with her fiancé.”

“She would have had no understanding of the callous cruelty that caused her death. Please honour her by making your community a better place. Volunteer your time and labour to donate to a homeless shelter.”

“Tell them Chrissy sent you.”
