Doan resist the need to grief even if it means bawling like a baby sometimes because guess what? Sometimes (in between) a smile from a fond memory will emerge. Walk Good Mommy and Bravs please know that CC.com ha e you and your family in our thoughts.

Thank you very much all, I know why I shared this with you all, I really needed as much support as i could get. My mom and I were very close.

She literally died in my arms yesterday in her bedroom not too long after returning her home from 6 days at hospital. We noticed she started going, and we admisntered CPR and the ambulance came in 5 mins and took over but she didn't respond, she was revived after being rushed to hospital, by very professional medical staff after 40 mins, but it was just too much for her.

She passed this morning at 7am. We are now making necessary arrangements for mom to get the best possible send off available.

A combination of a cardiomyopathy from past covid and a bad virus that her heart couldn't cope with over the last week or so, It simply stopped .

Thank you all , I will be in touch . Blessings.

Bravos, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. My prayer is that you will comfort each other during this difficult time.

I am sure your mother was an incredible person, and her kindness and warmth will always be remembered by you and family.

I am deeply aware of some of the emotions you are going through now. Last year was such a time for me when I had to give eulogies within a matter of months for my eldest brother and his eldest son.

Time heals, but the memories of your mother will live on forever.

Stay striong.

stay strong Big man.

Heartfelt condolences to you and family. Very sorry to hear about your mother. I know what that feels like so be comforted in knowing that she did her 3 scores and 10 and the good times spent and memories live on and can not be taken away. God Bless.

Thank you for the kind thoughtful and deep words friends, they are priceless, no amount of support is too much after dealing with the loss of your closest ally and confidant .


The funeral is next week Wednesday, in the meantime we reflect on our lives and take comfort from memories of our great times with mom, grandmom and great garandmom over the years .

Before we close off this thread I would like to share some pics of my mom over the years .

Younger days

Always looking out for and tried to elevate her family from very young, she actually arranged this portrait day at 19 y.o. she was the eldest ..and had many other younger siblings/half siblings and she helped all..

Same day ..

Same day ...

With her favorite aunt who supported her while other family disowned and castigated her for deciding to be with my older african dad..

Studio photos were big in those days.

Over the years .

Couldn't resist a baby, holding one of my cousins from UK in the mid 70s

Just chilling..80's

Came to London to meet me at school one summer, we went to Miami before returning to T&T for my summer vacation late 80's

before heading to airport in T&T for that trip..

Some time in the 90s.

One of her US trips early 2000's


With two of my sons mid 2000's

With the same two 2021..her 70th birthday.

Late 2000s

With wifey and our last son in 2018 for a family event at our home

Same day..


These and many other pics have been my goto all my life, from small to now, always loved looking at her pics over the years, and i would continue to.

Thanks again everyone.

Goodbye mom .
