Victims were loved by family, friends

CPL. Marie-France Comeau travelled the world to serve Canada, both in war and later alongside a governor general and a prime minister.

Comeau, who grew up in Quebec, joined the military to do just that. She became a flight attendant with 437 Squadron of 8 Wing Trenton, in 2008, when she had been in the Forces for more than 10 years.

In 2009, she was chosen to work as flight attendant for the prime minister and governor general. It was a testament to her good work. Tragically, it led to her death when she met Williams on a flight.

In November 2009 she accompanied Prime Minister Stephen Harper to Japan, Singapore and India. It was her final mission. She was found dead in her home on Nov. 25.

A Facebook page pays tribute to her good humour and support for friends. Many called her an angel.

ANY one of her many friends would describe 27-year-old Jessica Elizabeth Lloyd as someone who loved life.

When she laughed, it was contagious. When she smiled, it was sincere. And to those lucky enough to have loved her, her happiness was always shared.

Lloyd graduated with a three-year-business and human resources diploma from Loyalist College. Her degree landed her a job at the Tri-board Student Transportation Services Inc., in nearby Napanee, Ont., where she worked for the last three years.

Her friends described her as someone who always captured everyone’s attention when she walked into the room. She was a beautiful girl with long flowing brown hair and piercing green eyes. Lloyd loved hockey and was excited for the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

She was known to her tight-knit group of friends and for clever one-liners. Lloyd was also extremely close to her family.
