The boys, three-year-old Alan and five-year-old Ghalib, and their mother Rehanna Kurdi were remembered as "angels" who brought the world's attention to the plight of thousands of refugees fleeing war-torn Syria. Their surviving father and Rehanna's husband Abdullah Kurdi attended a funeral and burial in Syria on Friday, but friends and family held a separate memorial at Simon Fraser University's downtown campus in Vancouver. Tima Kurdi, the boys' aunt who lives in Coquitlam, said she is so worried about her brother Abdullah, who has lost his family. In a statement to police obtained by the Hurriyet newspaper, Abdullah said he had twice paid smugglers to take him and his family to Greece but their efforts had failed. On their final attempt, the boat began to take in water and when people stood up in panic, it capsized.
