One shining example is her role in the establishing and sustaining of The Friends of Good Shepherd (FOGS), an organization that she founded and headed for over twenty-six years to complement a charitable organization of that name that I had established in Jamaica.Herexceptionalorganizational strengthtranslatedintoannualinspiring fundraising functions which raised wellneeded funds and enabled the provision of invaluable services in the areas of health, education, and social distressinJamaica.

Further, when the foundation embarked on the ambitious project of the construction of a medical and residential clinic in Montego Bay, my sister, and her team pulled out all the stops and for the almost eight years of that project, FOGS was a solid and faithful donor of funds, favors, and unswervingencouragement.

I cannot say enough about my sister as a family person. She was a dutiful daughter to our parents, a loving and caring sister to us siblings, an exemplary mother, and grandmother, and as is widely known, a devotedwife.
