I attended Brigette's memorial funeral held last Friday. What a tribute ... by way of attendance.... and moreso, the portrait of her life of service to the nation, particularly the early childhood care and education sector.
I was personally touched by her quiet, always dignified and very skilled way in which she worked with children in her own school and at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus. For me, my daugther is one of the many, many beneficiaries of her service. She would certainly be deserving of a National award, even if posthumously.
Brigette, you have gone to be with the saints.... we would continue to take example from you stewardship, and at some point, we expect to join you... . Do give 'Psyche' (Allison Taylor-Mentor -- 1968/70) our regards
Gwen Williams (1967/69)
