Sarbjit Kaur Sidhu, 30, was one of three women killed in van rollover

ABBOTSFORD - With tears streaming down his face, Abbotsford dad Jagjeet Sidhu yesterday explained to his eight-year-old daughter Avneet that her mom would never come home.

His 30-year-old wife, Sarbjit Kaur, perished in the crash of a van that killed two other female farm workers and injured 14 Wednesday on the rain-washed Trans-Canada Highway just west of the Sumas interchange.

Yesterday, as two counsellors from Abbotsford police sat in the basement of the family home gently chatting with Avneet, Sidhu stood with his arms folded, grief etched on his face, his red-rimmed eyes glistening with tears.
