Armando Sallegue, a widower from the Philippines who once dreamed of joining the seminary, had travelled to Alberta to visit his son's family. Armando Sallegue developed symptoms and was sent to hospital on the same day that his son, Arwyn Sallegue, was first diagnosed with the illness, on April 23. Armando died at 6:15 p.m. in the Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary, and Sallegue says they were able to say goodbye over FaceTime. Sallegue notes the day had already changed over in the Philippines when his dad died. "My dad told my brother that he kept dreaming that our mom said it's time to go with me," said Sallegue.
