UPDATE: Former Melfort teacher passes away in Chinese hospital
UPDATE: Alicia Garlock’s brother Travis has confirmed through Alicia’s GoFUNDMe page, she has passed away in hospital.
“Unfortunately, I also am the bearer of the news that my sister’s body could no longer sustain fighting and gave out late last night in China. Alicia was 38 and loved living her life her way. I was always proud and amazed by this. She was someone I always looked up to for having the tenacity and bravery to live her life to the fullest. She, along with Eldon and Remi, went on adventures some of us can only dream of. I know that is something they will always truly cherish,” he said.
The GoFundMe page, which was created to assist the family with the expensive medical bills, has raised over $21,000. Travis Garlock said in his statement the family would keep the page up for the time being.
