AnthoniqueLATISHA CASH RN

Anthonique Latisha Cash was born on the February 1st, 1994 to Anthony Sr. and Philippa Cash Nee Strachan.

She began her early education at St. Mark’s Preschool she then journeyed on to Sandilands Primary, Aquinas College and then on to Doris Johnson Senior where she graduated in 2011. She would then go on to further her Tertiary education at The University of the Bahamas (formally known as The College of The Bahamas) where she entered into the nursing Program. She took a sabbatical and returned to her nursing studies in 2016. She then graduated with a Bachelors Degree in 2019, where she completed the Council Exams and became a registered nurse at the Princess Margaret Hospital. In June 2019 she was posted on the Female Medical/Surgical Ward.

Antonique was a hardworking, loving, compassionate individual with a determination to excel in everything she put her hands and mind too. She loved a challenge because she knew that whatever she overcame would make her stronger. Always industrious, she operated a hair braiding business as well as a catering service.

Anthonique had a joyful and genuine spirit. She was the life of the party and had the ability to put a smile on the faces of all she came in contact with. She was spoken of highly of all those who knew her. The spirit of meekness and excellence she operated in, allowed her to touch many lives far and wide. As a nurse she was reliable and consistent in her duties. A diligent and caring professional, Anthonique always put her best foot forward. She was the favorite among both patients and staff.

“Neeky”, as she was affectionately called, was a loving and devoted daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and dear friend. She was the epitome of the “Rose that grew from the concrete” because her quiet, yet beautiful strength would not reveal when she had a low day.

Anthonique’s infectious, optimism and faith in God will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved her. To know her was to love her.

Hymn of Acceptance “Heaven’s Jubilee”

Some glad morning we shall see, Jesus in the air Coming after you and me, joy is ours to share What rejoicing there will be, when the saints shall rise Headed for that jubilee, yonder in the skies

Oh what singing, oh what shouting On that happy morning when we all shall rise Oh what glory, Hallelujah

When we meet our blessed Savior in the skies

Seems that now I almost see, all the sainted dead Rising for that jubilee, that is just ahead In the twinkling of an eye, changed with them to be All the living saints to fly, to that jubilee.

When with all that heavenly host, we begin to sing Singing in the Holy Ghost, how the heavens will ring Millions there will join the song, with them we shall be Praising Christ through ages long, heaven’s jubilee.

Hymn ................................................................................................................................................ “It’s Alright Now”

There was a time I traveled

A lonely sinful road

Beneath a heavy burden bending low

But now all things are different

For Jesus took my load

It’s alright now I’m His I know

It’s alright now

For I am in my Savior’s care

It’s alright now

My Savior hears and answers prayer

He’ll walk beside me

‘Til I climb the heav’nly stair

And ev’rything is alright now

A-down a lonely pathway

Without a friend to guide

I walked in sin and sorrow all alone

‘Til Jesus came and found me

And drew me to His side

It’s alright now for I’m His own

No more in sin I wander

No more in darkness roam

The Lord has placed

My feet on higher ground

Each day new heights I’m gaining

My soul is nearing home

It’s alright now I’m heaven bound

Letter to my Baby, MY NURSIE, MY SOULMATE & MI AMOR! ALC ��DSR

Why you love me baby, tell me why you love me cause I know why I love you! I love you cause you give and show me love, you’re my true love! (Your words to me).

From I met and grew to know you, my only intention was to make you the love of my life, turn you into my wife, and then the mother of our kids (Amora and Amorè)! We were picture perfect from the start because you was always drop dead gorgeous, stunning with true natural beauty, and alluring. I thank Mr. and Mrs. Cash for creating and raising you the correct way, you being special, loving, caring, and one of a kind.

Firstly, I thank you for bringing me around and introducing me to your family (mom, dad, sister, brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and nieces) and friends. From day one they accepted me, showing me love, respect and care always.

I never knew the kind of love I had for you ever existed, it was not until I met you when I experience it. I introduced you to my son and the love, care, and treatment you gave him melted my heart and made me grew that unconditional love for you. At this point, I knew that you were a keeper (the wife type taken away from me). You turnt me into a different man, a more responsible, loving, and caring man; it was you that turnt me into a good man!

Through my best days, my trouble times, and everything in between, you was always there with me inspiring, motivating, encouraging, and pushing me to go forward, looking at each experience as a lesson well taught (this is now taken from me).

This year started off so promising for us, as we started to plan what we wanted with each other and how we was going to make 2022 our year, Anthonique Latisha and Desmond Shavone Rolle. In our house that we was already looking for and by December 2022 either Amora or Amorè (or both) was going to be brought forth (baby, you would be my wife, mother of our kids). You kept showing me dresses and color scheme you would love.

February came and I decided to give you a birthday month which ended in a trip, we had an unforgettable experience that month which made you said “I can’t wait for June to reach” (always trying to outdo each other birthday experience). March 31 where you came to our residence and asked me why I love you so much. That you are ready to start our family, ready to have Amorè, ready to have Amora, a December baby! I left to go make a run and get a souse for you. You told me make sure it’s turkey (your love for it), you going home by mom to get some stuff but you never return. I thought you went home and fell asleep, so I put your souse in the fridge.

On April 1, 2022, I got a call from mom what I took to be a April fool joke and turn into the most devastating news ever! Still think it’s a April fool joke that is being played. From that day, I message your phone daily waiting to see two ticks, to get a response. No more of your voice, smile, laughter, nor outings and trips. No more of your touches, kisses, cuddling, warmth nor words to make me smile!

Now, I know what is being told to me but I really don’t want to believe it. That you are now gone never to return to me, I must say I’m in denial (you will return to me soon). Every white car I see, I look to see if it’s you inside (reminiscing). Every time one about to pass my house, I wishing it was you coming to park in your spot but it’s not!

Still have your things with me, keeping them as souvenir. I don’t even want to sit or lay in your spot, waiting on your return. This pain and hurt is unbearable, I am as lifeless like a deflated ballon, with all I have is memories I’m going off right now! We suppose to last forever because the love we shared when they talk they should have been talk about you and me, ALC & DSR forever! I love you so much baby, I need you, I’m missing you like crazy Mi Amor! Until I see you again baby.

When I got the news, my whole mind and body went into shock.

I couldn’t speak to anyone. I cried, screamed and got goosebumps all over.

I felt broken again to know that I lost another friend. I began to question God more than ever.

When I met you, I met a great friend.

We grew close together, by sharing secrets, spending time together and always being of some encouragement for one another.

We made plans together for the future not knowing what God had planned.

Nekky you were a friend and a big sister to me.

You were joyful and cared so much about others; often putting others needs before yours.

You were so ambitious, something that I always looked up too.

We taught each other so many things, we laughed together and even cried together

I’ll never forget your infectious laugh, lighting up the entire room.

Some of my best memories are with you; I’m gonna miss those sleepovers, karaoke nights, and those celebrations after our many accomplishments.

You were a dear and true friend. I love you in life and in death.

Take your rest and tell Chernard I said hello.

ANTHONIQUE LATISHA CASH - PAGE 9

I miss you’ll so much.

TO: MY PURPLEHEART

Writing this tribute is surreal, I will never be able to express our love and loyalty in a few lines. However, I know that you are unforgettable. I remember you with fond memories, Nekky if I could count the number of times, you made me laugh until I cried it will go on into infinity . You were not just a best friend to me but surely a dear sister. The sisterhood you, Chernard and I held is unexplainable as there are not enough words to describe us. We were loyal to one another since high school and we stood by that, genuine friendship is hard to find but we managed to be amongst the lucky ones.

Nekky, you were such a sweet and humble soul. You were beautiful inside and out, you were the true definition of strong and independent. You were not just a nurse but also an awesome cook and certified hair braider. Your work on earth spoke for itself. You were so much more than a best friend but

the Godmother to my son and the amazing maid of honor in my wedding. You were genuinely happy for me; you were by my side from choosing fabric for our dresses to shoe shopping and even grocery shopping for the reception. I realize that this world couldn’t handle your joyous spirit, you were too kind to people as you never said “no” you always found time for everyone even when you couldn’t find time for yourself.

On June 21st, 2021, our world crashed as we were face with such a tragic obstacle in our lives. For 9 months we had one another back and our bond grew stronger. You ensure that the memories of Chernard was always present. If I could say anything to you at this very moment it would be “I love you sis”. You will forever live on through the memories you created on earth. I ask that both you and Chernard watch over me and my little family. I love you always.
