Janet Ferguson lost her best friend when her 26-year-old daughter Kayla died in the January 2022 explosion at Ottawa’s Eastway Tank, Pump and Meter Ltd.
Now her family is grieving again after Janet Ferguson’s own recent death at age 47.
“Tragedy on top of a tragedy,” Reggie Ferguson said outside the Carleton Place, Ont., funeral home where his sister’s wake took place on Thursday.
According to her obituary, Janet Ferguson died on June 23 — nearly a year and a half after the Jan. 13, 2022, explosion that killed her daughter and five other employees of the tanker manufacturer: Rick Bastien, Etienne Mabiala, Danny Beale and Russell McLellan.
