One of Lacas's co-workers, Jean-Luc Morin, said the couple had set aside six months to travel through the southern United States. Relatives are attempting to secure a translator for her, he said. "They raised their family, worked hard and were thinking about themselves - and it was time to do that - and sadly misfortune has befallen them."Īccording to Poulin, no one at the hospital where Carrier is being treated speaks English or French. "They were a couple that loved each other and still had a sparkle in their eyes when they looked at each other," Poulin told CP. The two left their home in October and had left their car in a campground in McAllen last weekend before boarding the bus for their Mexican trip. Lacas's wife, Line Carrier, was one of four Canadians believed to be injured and taken to hospital.Ĭarrier's son, Christian Poulin, said the couple was on a six-month working holiday in Mexico. The Canadian Press has identified the Canadians killed as: 56-year-old Robert Lacas from Quebec City, Carolyn Kowaleski, 68, of Caledonia, Ont.
