It is with deep sadness that I inform you that our dear friend and colleague Allelu Kurten passed on 21st May 2016, Allelu was at peace. She died comfortably surrounded by family.
We will never forget our UNIMAma. She will be in our hearts forever.
As Cheryl Henson says “Allelu has gone to her beautiful white light, the white light that she brought into her life and to so many of ours. We have been blessed to know and to love her.”
May her soul rest in everlasting peace, our deepest condolence to her family, friends and all of us who knew her love and understanding and guidance.

I never had the honor of meeting Allelu in person, but I live in her former house. Every morning, another beautiful, glorious thing happens in the garden that she designed and cared for here for the last fifty years. I am in awe of the wonder of this legacy, and very grateful to her. My heart goes out to her family and friends in this time of sorrow.
