Kimberly, the perfect sister

Her younger sister, Rikiesha Hosein, delivered a tearful and heartfelt eulogy which moved almost everyone in the intimate congregation to tears. “Kimberly, you were my sister, my best friend, my soulmate, the best part of me,” said the weeping sister as she was being supported by family members. “It is not fair for you to leave us like this, but both you and I know that life is not fair.” In the eulogy, Lewis was described as wise, kind, loving and responsible.

Bishop Victor Bowen, tried to comfort the congregation with passages of scripture and encouraging words. He told the congregation that death comes to all people, and no one knows the manner or time of their death.

He, however, encouraged the congregation to have faith that the Almighty has a plan.

After the service, Lewis was cremated at the Port-of-Spain Crematorium, on Long Circular Road, St James. Kimberly’s husband, Jonathan Garcia, could not be present to pay his final respects. He was still at Port-of- Spain General Hospital, being treated for the chop wounds he sustained during the incident that claimed his wife’s life.

On Monday, at about 10 pm, a group of men stormed Lewis’ home, armed with cutlasses and knives, and hacked and stabbed both Lewis and Garcia.
