-Erin Pitruzella, whose husband Leo, a labourer for a paving company, died when he was struck by a dump truck loaded with asphalt

It may have started out as a work commitment, but for Peter Deines, the connection to Threads of Life quickly transcended work and became “part of the fabric of my life”.
