The Family would like to extend their sincere thanks to the staff at Michael Garron Hospital (Outpatient Oncology Clinic and the Palliative Care Unit) for their care and compassion.

So blessed to have had you in this life. I know you'll continue to walk by my side guiding me and the girls from beyond. I will miss you more than words can express. Love you mom.

It's hard to believe that Amie has passed away. She was one of the strongest women I know and with much wisdom and integrity. She never dithered from speaking up about things that were unfair and unjust. If there was something that was unfair, Amie would be the one to call it out and it didn't matter who was on the other side of the table. She always spoke her mind, which was refreshing in the UN headquarters in New York where everyone is always so careful and political. Amie was courageous in a way that only comes with a core moral conviction. In some ways, she will always be my role model for inspiring me to work on gender equality, work substantively and to speak up.

My deepest condolences to Amie's children and her extended family whom she loved dearly and most especially her grandchildren.

Warm regards,
Shreyasi

If there's any consolation in this for me, a chance to say goodbye and witnessing that you were so loved. Those last days will stay with me for eternity. I'll never look at yam and spinach the same way again. Your last meal I fed you specially made on your request.The least i could do.You said "Mamtu! Eyeh!( that's enough) You spent your entire life knowing what you wanted and giving back to people even in your last days. You were strong to the end. You said "I am fine and you?"to every how are you question. You made us play this 🎵 ( I'm no longer a slave to fear because I'm a child of God). I hoped for a miracle but also prayed for peace. God has still been faithful in all of this.
Aunty, I thought you prepared us for this but No! It doesn't hurt any less and I'm still struggling to come to terms with reality.
Please Somebody should wake me up from this horrible nightmare 😭😭😭😭😭 Oh the sting of death!
You loved me and my family. I'm yet to tell Jadon about your passing when he's back from boarding He prayed for you every night. Who will tell him about snow in Canada vrs the UK.
Awww 💔💔
Owuo sei efie! Damirifa Due! Bediako ba Ama Agyeman! Rest in eternal peace

It is so hard to loose a loved one so at this difficult time, I pray that you find consolation in God's word and in the good times you spent together. "When a memory becomes a treasure, the treasure becomes a memory". May the late Angelina's soul and other faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace
