86 years old
Aristrocratic
Cultured
Educated
Canadian
Of Ukrainian immigrants
Lived in Cameroon seven years
Started an association with Cameroonian partner
Partner has been exploiting her
Elderly
Frail
Confused
Gets lost going from dining room to bedroom
Falls frequently
Hospitalized for a week
Partner took her from hospital to Canadian High Commission
High Commission learned of us from the Baptist
Could we take her in 
Enjoyable
Conversant
Chatty
Cries when talks about last three months
Three days with us
Then off to airport
Thinks she will be in hospital for eye surgery for one or two weeks
Then right back home to Cameroon
Canadian High Commission will not permit her to return
Repatriating her back home to Canada
Left all sorts of stuff with us since she is coming back
High Commission phoning Canada to find out how to proceed
Nothing of value
4 pairs of broken reading glasses
Lots of papers
Well, we came to serve
Enjoyed serving this dear lady with the big heart
