The woman who lost her three young children and her father in a crash in September in Vaughan, Ont., has put out a Christmas card in memory of her loved ones.  

Jennifer Neville-Lake's card has been shared more than 2,200 times on Facebook since it was posted Sunday morning.

"This Sunday afternoon you can: go to the park. Read a book. Visit some friends. Play a board game. Help someone play dress up. Bake. Spend time with your loved ones," the card reads. 

"Please don't drink and drive," it ends. 

The card is signed with the names of all three children: Daniel, Harrison and Milly.

The mother also posted a picture Monday, showing a mall Santa holding up a photo of the children, as well as a separate image of her father. 

Marco Muzzo, 29, of King Township has been charged with four counts of impaired driving causing death and 14 other counts related to the crash. He has yet to enter a plea.

On Sept. 27, six members of the Neville-Lake family were travelling in a minivan when the vehicle collided with a black SUV driven by Muzzo at the intersection of Kirby Road and Kipling Avenue, north of Kleinburg, just after 4 p.m. 

Daniel Neville-Lake, 9, his brother Harrison, 5, their sister Milly, 2, and their grandfather, 65-year-old Gary Neville were all killed. 

Neville-Lake's mother and great-grandmother sustained injuries in the collision.
