Our condolences to the Boschmann Family. Alvira was a good friend and mentor. She was an important part in the Pregnancy Centre where she faithfully volunteered and gave her time. I was blessed to have been part of her life.

En el mes de Agosto del año 2006 tuvimos el placer de conocer a Alvira. Descubrimos en ella su gran capacidad de comunicación, su amabilidad y su excelente trato. A través del tiempo cultivamos una sincera amistad. Lamentamos profundamente su partida. La recordaremos siempre como una mamá amorosa con su familia y como una gran dama. Descansa en paz. Un abrazo a David. Un abrazo a Patrick y hermanos.

I wish to extend my deepest Sympathy to all of Alvira's family. Her loss has come as a great shock. We were not only cousins but very good friends as well. She was such a kind compassionate, and loving person, treating everyone with such kindness.

We spent many hours on the phone talking about anything and everything, and catching up on all our family news. I will so miss those conversations.

I am sorry that I can not attend in person, but my thought will be with the family today.

I was fortunate enough to have met Alvira (and David) on several occasions, particularly during Christmas gatherings where I had the pleasure of sharing meals and conversations with her. She always brought a homemade cheesecake, a testament to her kindness and generosity.

I am extremely sorry that I won't be able to attend the service due to work commitments, Patrick please accept my deepest condolences, please pass my message to your dad and to Mike and Kim, and the rest of your family. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Chris And I offer our sincere condolences on Alvira’s passing. We take comfort in knowing she is now with Jesus. I have no doubt that she heard “ well done, though good and faithful servant”

She blessed our family so much over the years and we are so grateful for the wisdom and support she provided to us!

She will be greatly missed. Sending our love to all the family!

To the Boschmann family, I am so heartbroken hearing about Alvira’s demise! She was a great mother, confidant and friend. Still trying to grasp the meaning of her early exit.

My family and I are praying for God’s comfort to her lovely family and especially to her dear David whom she loved with all her heart!!!

Adieu dear lady with a heart of Gold! Rest on well Mama at the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen♥️

Alvira and David were our first church friends when we moved to Brooks in 1997. Alvira had a welcoming heart and was a great friend and mentor to me. Not only did she influence me, but many other younger ladies felt her gracious touch and encouragement. Alvira also touched the lives of my two daughters. Alvira became their cheerleader and confidante. Danielle, and Jaimee were blessed to have Alvira's imput in their lives, through many years. We shared the joys and angst of watching our grown children leave and travel afar. Alvira was so very proud of her sons, and so delighted when they married three lovely young ladies. It was so amazing too when a certain little granddaughter entered her life. Jesse was certainly a great addition to the family as the first granddaughter ! Each grandson also made Alvira so very happy. The years watching these children were so captivating for Alvira and Dave. One of my favorite memories was helping Alvira shop for the children of Kim and Anchalee. I would hold a large laundry basket, and Alvira would choose many pieces of clothing at the Alliance Church clothing sale. We had so many visits through the many years I was blessed to be a friend of Alvira's. I recently spent a long bus ride watching the sun through the clouds with deep purple shades. As I watched the sun cast shadows , I wondered how Alvira was enjoying heaven. I thanked God for her 82 years on earth. I am eternally thankful for the times spent sitting in the kitchen at the Boschmann house. I'm praying especially for all of you family members at this sad time. Yet, I am also rejoicing with Alvira who has now joined her parents and siblings in the presence of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. With tremendous love, Judy Turner and family

I am so sorry for your loss- our thoughts and prayers are with you all- praying for peace and comfort.. Alvira was an amazing lady and will be greatly missed by many!
