During three years she received specialized training at an Institute in Montreal. In August 1994 she readily accepted to go to Africa to help the victims of the Rwanda genocide. She worked diligently until October 2004 when she suffered two strokes which caused her death. I quote Alice's words of appreciation: "I am so grateful to my parents for the precious gift of life and all what this has given me. To all who have loved me so gratuitously throughout my journey, I say "Thank you" and I keep you all in my love."

God saw you getting tired So He put His arms around you And whispered, "Come with Me." So when we saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain We could not wish you back To suffer again. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same As God calls us one by one Our chain will link again. You can't fly with one wing, Your memory lives on.
