The Ministry of Education expresses condolences to the families of Mario Powell and Brianna Mesidor.
Mario was a 4th Form student at the Clement Howell High School. He was a very jovial young man who cared about his classmates and his friends. His classmates remember him as the person who made the classroom come alive. His teachers remember him as a most helpful student.
Brianna was a student at the Oseta Jolly Primary School. Even though she spent a considerable amount of time out of school seeking medical attention, she lived for the times that she spent with her classmates and friends. Brianna was a source of inspiration to her teachers, her classmates and her family.
Hon. Josephine Connolly, Minister of Education, extends her condolences to Mark and Marcia Powell and to Marlene and Lejer Alixiant as they mourn the loss of their loved ones.
“The loss a child is never a pleasant experience and our hearts yearns for an explanation. I commend you to almighty God and pray that He will grant all the relatives and friends strength during their time of grief. To the Clement Howell High School and Oseta Jolly Primary School family and community, once again I convey my profound condolences. I can only pray that time and the memories with these two precious souls will lessen the burden of your sorrow, and that you may draw some measure of comfort knowing that others care and share in your loss.”
“It is particularly sad when young lives with much promise are suddenly taken away from the community. May the souls of our beloved departed, Mario and Brianna, rest in eternal peace.”
