“It is with deep sadness that we extend our condolences to the family of the late Doniesha Capron in particular her parents Mr. and Mrs. Donald and Orien Capron on her recent passing.
Having had the opportunity to directly interact with the staff at the Providenciales Airport on a number of occasions over the years, I can only describe Doniesha as a bright spark whose presence will greatly be missed.
The pain of losing a loved one is never easy, but as sudden death has the propensity to compound the impact of loss and grief, we pray for your strength at this time.
We pray also for our Immigration Officers and staff at the Providenciales Airport that have been devastated by this loss.
We are eternally grateful for the time that Doniesha was able to share with us and for her service to the Government and people of these islands.
May her smile and laughter be forever etched in the hearts and minds of all her family, friends, loved ones and colleagues and may her soul rest in eternal peace!”
The Minister of Immigration and Border Services, the Honourable Arlington Musgrove, joining with the Deputy Governor and members of his Ministry, in addressing the staff on the tragic loss of their colleague, lamented:
“Death is never an easy thing, and it is especially difficult when it signifies the loss of a colleague, a person who we have come to know and love.
The Ministry mourns with our staff in the Departments of Immigration and Customs, with whom Ms. Capron worked.
My condolences are extended to her family and her friends and it is my prayer that God will be a source of comfort for you during this difficult time.
Ms. Capron was a vibrant soul and her infectious smile will forever be in our hearts.”
Rest In Eternal Peace Doniesha!
