Speaking to reporters as he left the memorial reception, Pauchay's brother Gary said both parents have been devastated by the tragedy.Yeah, that's just great...
He says Tracey Jimmy, the girls' mother, is expecting another child in April.
Oh, by the way... how's ol' dad doing?
His brother hasn't told him much about what happened that night, Pauchay said.That's funny... the CBC account skips over the "beer" part of the story.
"He just stares at me."
When reporters noticed an open bottle on the console of his car and asked how he was coping, Pauchay said simply, "having a beer."

UPDATE: Here's part of the problem...
"When we went to lay my grandchildren to rest I was very proud of Tracy and my son-in-law Chris because they were so strong. They're so young," Ms. Nippi said.Grandma's proud of the drunk who caused these two deaths. You're right, lady... that's some "family support system".
"She has a mother. She has a good mother like me. She has a good family support system set up here with her uncles and aunties."
Unbelievable.
