My sincere condolences to my Dear Friend Katyanne and family. Mom was a wonderful and sweet person. She treated me so kind every time I came over and stayed at her home in Jamaica. May God bless and cover her family during this time. Mom is in heaven looking down and is her now her family guardian angel. My thoughts and prayers with the entire family.

Dear Sister,
I am heartbroken. I am going to miss those phone calls checking on me to make sure I am okay and always telling me how much you love me. You were the only person to tell me you love me so many times.
Love you my sister, until we meet again!

Bye Miss D. See you later.
Condolences to all her family and loved ones. My prayers goes out to you all. Miss D touched many souls and made each one better.
I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to have known this remarkable lady. She absolutely changed the trajectory of my life. She took me into her home and treated me like a son. I know that there is a special place in heaven for you and, if I’m lucky, I’ll see you again.

My Dear mother,
It’s hard to accept that I will not be able to sit and speak with you face to face in this earthly life. I love you so very much. Our love extends beyond all eternity and and I know we will meet again in Heaven. I will repeat the words of your favorite prayerful hymn to our Devine Lord and Mother. ‘Mother at your feet is kneeling one who loves you tis your child’

Kind, forthright and cheerful are the enduring qualities of Mrs DeLeon that I have always admired and continue to cherish. Getting to know her was a blessing.
To Howard, her family and friends I extended my condolences, but also rejoice that hers was a life well lived.
May God bless her soul.

I met Miss Kay in my early years in Jamaica, when Luz introduced me to the family. We became fast friends and I enjoyed the times we spent together over the intervening years. She had a warm personality, an adventurous spirit and a love for music and sporty cars. I particularly recall looking forward to her famous Tripe stew whenever we had family gatherings. I had not seen her for many years after she left Belize, but always felt that I would sometime soon again as Florida is not that far away. However, that was not to be so I will cherish the memories, as her family and loved ones will too. My condolences especially go to her beloved grand- and great grand-children who will greatly miss her.
Walk good, Ms. Kay until we meet again.

Katy, my dear friend, my thought and prayers are with you and your family. I met your mother when I was in high school, and she managed the record store. I remember her as a kind-hearted and helpful lady. Your fond memories and knowing how much she loved you will carry you through.

I met “Miss Kay” late in life during her time in Belize and thoroughly enjoyed the times I spent in her company. Very lively and interesting conversations with a warm, outgoing person who really took an interest in what you were saying. My heartfelt condolences to Rhonda and all her family.

Some days it still doesn’t feel real that you’re gone. You taught me so much and always showered me with love. I will miss the times we baked together and would watch the Price is Right in the evening. I love you so much and will truly miss you. You may be gone from this earth but you will forever live on in our hearts, memories and your legacies. Rest now in peace grandma.
