To the family of aunt Ianthe, please accept our sympathies on the passing of a dear gentle woman, it was a privilege to know.
we trust that the Lord will continue to bring you comfort at this sad time.
I called her aunt because that is who she was to me. I was blessed to be able to visit on each trip I made to Barbados.
My aunt Ann Licorish is much grieved and she will miss her greatly.
with much love and kind regards

I remember meeting 'Big Mum ', several times. This was on my vacations and stays with her son and daughter-in-law - Orlie and Maureen.

She was a lady that loved her family, but also loved the Lord.

She would always make you laugh, but also give you good counsel and advice.

Condolences to the immediate family and beyond. God bless and comfort you all at this sad time.

Elder Pilgrim, Pat and Janet.
