I remembered Borden and Marie as two very humble and soft spoken people. They were both very warm and loved to feed the staff of Sunset Cove. I will always remember Mr. Doyle bringing me food that Marie had cooked especially when I worked the evening shift. Continue to rest in peace Mr. & Mrs. Doyle. - Posted by: Shermaine Laville (Worked at Sunset Cove in Antigua, where they spend the winter months) on: Oct 01, 2018
