We were all very fortunate to have the opportunity to be surrounded by her love every time we were with her. The family would like to extend gratitude to the Gimli Betel Home staff and the many volunteers for their kindness and support to Alfa. A very special thank you to Dr. R. C. Patel for his continued care and compassion over the years, and also to the excellent staff at the Gimli Community Health Centre.
