To Loreis with love

THE EDITOR: I would like to dedicate this note to Loreis Clarke in remembrance of her life. She recently passed away and would be sadly missed by her son, family, friends and co-workers. Her life was dedicated to her son and being a fire fighter. As for being a fire fighter where the female population numbers less than one hundred, she joined the Fire Service on October 15, 1996 and fought her way through training, then to the hard task that lay ahead.

However, her true potential would not have materialised and she was unable to fulfill all her endeavours in life. The most gracious almighty will show her the way to a new beginning. Upon losing this battle of life, we who are here are made stronger while losing a ‘sister.’ Thanks to this sister, her memories will live on.
