KANCHANA MANICKAM

DR. KANCHANA MANICKAM Dr. M.V. Kanchana, adopted daughter of Dr. A. Ganesaal, attained the Lotus Feet of her beloved Divine Father, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on August 17, 2012. She was predeceased by her mother Dr. Ganesaal and leaves behind an army of love in the form of Sai family and her loving friends. Kanchana considered her life to be very much blessed with love and guidance of her mother and her divine father. She used to say that she was eternally grateful to Baba for taking her under His wings and paving the way for her spiritual journey. She said that she had a full, fulfilling life due to the grace of Bhagawan Baba and happily embraced her union with Him. She wanted to express her gratitude and appreciation to the angels in the CancerCare Manitoba, Doctors, nurses and other staff, in GD6, treatment room and clinic 4. She particularly wanted to thank Dr. Szwajcer and Sherese who were the pillar of support for her during her illness. The untiring loving care provided by the staff in palliative care at the St. Boniface Hospital is gratefully acknowledged. God has created these angels to take care of His children. She wants to express her gratitude to Dr. Heiser who helped her strengthen her attitude towards the onward journey. She was a Microbiologist by profession and during her earthly sojourn she met with and worked with many eminent Microbiologists and Infectious Disease specialists and felt that she was continuously learning. At the time of her passing, she has just retired from her position with the Diagnostic Services of Manitoba. She was well liked, respected, and appreciated by her colleagues. A Funeral Ceremony will be held on Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at Thomson In The Park Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd., Winnipeg. It was her desire to provide an award towards technologists who have just graduated from the Medical Laboratory Technologist training program. As such an Educational Award Fund has been established that will be administered by the Winnipeg Foundation. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dr. Kanchana Manickam Legacy Fund . Donations can be made on the following website: www.wpgfdn.org. THOMSON IN THE PARK 925-1120 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsoninthepark.com

  • Sai Ram, We had our differences on Sai educare model. Mine was dug in past and yours look into future. You always won the debate as I realize now that educare is about future and past is only a basis and not the process. Your unflinching committment to Bhagawan is an inspiration to all of us. Sai Ram
