"Excerpt: Osborne, 42 at the time of her death, was known to most
people as Kelvin, the late brother of well-known aboriginal murder
victim Helen Betty Osborne. Kelvin Osborne, though, had been living as
a woman -- Rose -- for the latter part of her life.

Merasty said Osborne's death delivered an especially hard blow because
many of her friends also knew and loved Divas B, a 28-year-old
transgendered sex trade worker who was found in 2004 beaten to death
in a wooded area near Portage la Prairie."
