My Dearest Aunt Beryl, you will be sorely missed, I knew you all my life, you were a source of a wealth of medical knowledge you could always be relied upon to advise us with what was required to relieve whatever ailed us. You were extremely generous and would not only gift me but my friends as well. You would ensure that you would always include something for each person when you sent a package. When I would announce that I learned that a gift was on its way from you it would cause so much excitement and everyone waited with abated breath until it arrived as you would send something we all direly needed in Jamaica. You were our Santa Claus in Summer. You had dear friends from all over the world who never forgot you neither did you them, when we had the honor to accompany you on visits to them, they were always so happy to see you and I would listen to all the memories they would recount with you that were always interesting. You were the last surviving sibling of my fathers’ I now feel a sad loss due to this fact. May your dearly departed soul Rest In Peace and light perpetual shine upon you, May you sleep rocked in the sweet arms of our Almighty. Gone but never to be forgotten. Your niece, Marguerite
Rest In Peace Aunt B.
