I met Ann at school, Q.C and subsequently we were both members of Pan Revolution. We played the same double tenor and she loved her music. I pray that she makes music with the angels and send my sincere condolences to her family and friends.

I am still in utter disbelief about Ann's passing. The last time I saw her was in September 2023 when I returned to Barbados, from New Zealand, for a holiday. When she knew any of us Queen's College girls would be coming home, she would organise a get-together. We would all have a good, old, catch-up, and reminisce about school days. I am sure she is having a wonderful reunion with her beloved family and friends who have preceded her into the afterlife. This prayer is for Ann to assist her soul's progression into eternal life.

O Lord, O Thou Whose mercy hath encompassed all, Whose forgiveness is transcendent, Whose bounty is sublime, Whose pardon and generosity are all-embracing, and the lights of Whose forgiveness are diffused throughout the world! O Lord of Glory! I entreat Thee, fervently and tearfully, to cast upon Thy handmaiden who hath ascended unto Thee the glances of the eye of Thy mercy. Robe her in the mantle of Thy grace, bright with the ornaments of the celestial Paradise, and, sheltering her beneath the tree of Thy oneness, illumine her face with the lights of Thy mercy and compassion.

Bestow upon Thy heavenly handmaiden, O God, the holy fragrances born of the spirit of Thy forgiveness. Cause her to dwell in a blissful abode, heal her griefs with the balm of Thy reunion, and, in accordance with Thy will, grant her admission to Thy holy Paradise. Let the angels of Thy loving-kindness descend successively upon her, and shelter her beneath Thy blessed Tree. Thou art, verily, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous, the All-Bountiful.
