Jennifer Neville-Lake spoke briefly to the media after the accused in the collision, Marco Muzzo, made another court appearance. She and her husband, Edward, held hands in the packed courtroom in Newmarket, Ont., while Muzzo appeared via video link.
Neville-Lake said she and her husband are "still in the questioning stage," over the crash.
"I can't even think of how to say it. You know, the question I want to say is, 'Why?'" she said when asked how she feels when she sees Muzzo in court.
"It's beyond anger, it's beyond rage."
'We need to come'
Muzzo is facing 18 charges, including four counts of impaired driving causing death over the deaths of the three children and their grandfather in the Sept. 27 crash.
A decision on bail was held over and Muzzo's next court appearance was set for Nov. 26.
The crash happened when a minivan with six members of the Neville-Lake family was T-boned at the intersection of Kirby Road and Kipling Avenue, north of Kleinburg.
Daniel Neville-Lake, 9, his brother Harrison, 5, their sister Milly, 2, all died. Their 65-year-old grandfather, Gary Neville, died later in hospital. The children's grandmother and great-grandmother survived the crash.
Muzzo is being held in custody in Lindsay, Ont.
Jennifer Neville-Lake said she and her husband are trying to "normalize" their lives by going to the grocery store and to the library. She has also tried to attend meetings of the Beaver Scouts group she used to lead.
"It was really, really difficult," she said. "But because so many pieces of us were wrapped up with our kids, I want to see if it's possible for us to even ever go back to being a Beaver leader, to ever go back to what we used to have."
She said she and her husband plan to attend every court date.
"This is the only part we have left," she said.
"We need to come ... we have no say in what happens. We can't control this at all."
