A statement from the families today asked the board to reconsider its refusal of the commemorative garden. We love our children dearly and we will always grieve the loss of our beautiful kids, the families said. Our proposed commemorative garden simply honours our children, Antony, Angelina, Sienna and Veronique and our survivors Liana, Charbel and Mabelle. We respectfully ask the board to reconsider its decision so that our children can be honoured and the community can have a place to remember the Oatlands tragedy, which had such an impact on our nation.

Bridget Sakr lost daughter Veronique, 11, last February when she was hit by driver Samuel Davidson, while walking to buy ice cream with her cousins in Oatlands.
The families wanted to have a memorial garden at Oatlands Golf Club, which is right next to where the accident happened.

But after a series of submissions with the help of Parramatta Council, the plan has been rejected by the club for being too big, with officials refusing to negotiate any more.
Mrs Sakr said the families are devastated.
