CALGARY - It will take a lot longer than the 22 months since Previna Jiawan-Gautreau's two young daughters were killed for her to forgive the cement truck driver who killed them.

Even though a remorseful Daniel Josh Tschetter, 51, of Cochrane was sentenced on Wednesday to five and 1/2 years in prison and banned for life from driving a comercial truck after causing the fatal crash on Dec. 7, 2007, the distraught Jiawan-Gautreau was still numb.

"I sure hope God forgives him one day. For me forgiving, I don't know . . . I can't honestly answer that," Jiawan-Gautreau said outside court.

"I think he is sorry. It doesn't change anything. It doesn't change the fact he took away five lives . . . No amount of sentence would have made a difference. It doesn't bring my girls back, it doesn't bring Chris back, or Zachary or Melaina back."
