We met late in our lives. I got to know you a little more while working together with your niece Debra’s business, as a volunteer cook in the kitchen for Bajan Night (BAW), as a volunteer at the Caribbean Pavilion (Folklorama), and for the Holy Trinity Church events. Your service to family and community was unselfish. May you Rest in Peace! - Posted by: Neville Skeete (Associate and Friend) on: Mar 25, 2025

Wendy, Marion and family, your mother was a very funny lady, especially her laugh. I remember our time with T & T choir that my father lead. I also remember my mother appointing me a taxi driver for the lunch ladies, your mother was one of them. Just know that you all took care of your mother and remember the love she had for you all. Grief is a heck of a thing, so do it at your own pace, also, don't forget laugh. You all are her legacy, and you all have a piece of her. Blessings to you all, Joyce and Yvette - Posted by: Joyce Smith and Yvette Barrett-Roberts (friends) on: Mar 24, 2025
