Though absent in the physical sense, Matilda "Tilly" Wilcoxson's presence was felt as her family and the local community gathered to honor her memory.Tuesday would have been Tilly's 14th birthday, a bittersweet milestone now overshadowed by immense grief after the unimaginable tragedy that struck three weeks ago. Tilly, along with her 12-year-old sister Eloise Wilcoxson and her best friend Buster Brown, tragically lost their lives in a devastating accident.

Despite the immense grief, Wilcoxson remains steadfast in his faith and resilience, guided by the belief that even in the face of tragedy, there can be seeds of hope and growth."We can talk about changes to the roads; we can talk about changes to the law and those things are important, we should do that, but the biggest important change that can happen is if we try to change things within ourselves and our one on one interactions with each other," Wilcoxson said.
