Shernel Prince dies

Prince

The young woman from Wesley who was flown to Trinidad to have emergency surgery has died.

Shernel Prince is reported to have died at 11pm on Monday evening.

Prince had surgery last week to repair a leaking valve in her heart.

Local efforts to help fund that major operation had included a local radio station, Q95 raising EC$48,000 for the  cancer patient.

Her father Mathew Prince had earlier been granted a loan of EC$50,000 by a corporate citizen, to help pay the bill for the EC$80,000 operation in Port of Spain.

The family recently expressed disappointment that efforts to obtain additional funds from the Dominica government to assist Prince had failed.

The government had initially provided TT$185,000 to help meet Shernel’s medical needs.

    It’s a shame to see a father, Matthew Prince, allow the worker’s party to turn his poor, innocent child’s funeral into a circus. When did the Dominica government have to bury his daughter? The government has no obligation to do so. It’s HIS responsibility. His relatives on St. Thomas didn’t give a penny to help him. Now, they are crying as if they were concerned relative. I hope the worker’s party helps him pay back the loan.
    In my days, the Labor Party was a good party. Everybody needs to get a job ad leave the Prime Minister alone. It’s all just greed.

    May her soul rest in peace.

    Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts the most. To the family of Shernel, I would like you to ponder on all the fun times you had with your daughter. The good lord will strengthen you and bring you a deeper joy. My sympaphies to you all
    her father is a living example of what fathers should be to their children. God will bless you !

    Another young life gome failed by dominica medical system.My question really is, are there Doctors in dominica or just blood suckers who prey on poor people,but make sure that their friends and family are well taken care of?
    I mewan you have a lot of people walking around in white robes looking pretty and cant do a shit but suck the blood of the people of dominica damn it this is 2012

      That is a very ignorant comment to make. Doctors are not miracle workers. They do the best they can. Sometimes, God just has different plans. Don’t blame the doctors. Am sure they did their best.

    It was announced on the radio this morning that during the surgery, doctors discovered additional complications… This leads me to believe that whether or not money was recieved in time the complications (which were in addition to her leaking valves) would still have been a factor. This is sad though that treatment is delayed because of lack of funds. Health care should be a basic human right. We need National Health insurance. Governments cannot be expected to cover all or the majority of expenses in each individual case. In its disappointment, the family should still remember to be grateful for the initial donation made by the state and also by individual citizens and corporations. My condolences to her family.

    :-x Some people never cease to amaze me! How many of you actually gave God thanks today for seeing another day?? How many reflected on their life thus far? Don’t we all have our designated time?? Death has no preference; it don’t have a special time, place or date; it’s not gonna pick the good from bad, rich from poor! It comes at any time, so make peace with your maker, and try to make your life something fulfilling with meaning.
    Shernell was a great example of what a humble heart is like, even if she was in pain and suffering she gave thanks for many things. We should take example of what she’d wanted. She was on bed, yet she saw it fit to pray for her country, not differentiating anything or anyone!! My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends. with her passing we should not mourn her death, but be happy she’s gone to meet her maker.
    Although her death feels like a stab to the heart, one things’ for certain – there’ll be no more suffering for her. :cry:
    She’s gone, but she won’t be forgotten, and she’ll be getting many flowers too.
    RIP child of God.

    my condolences to the family, she is in a better place. that is the only comfort..stay strong in the Lord one day we will meet shernel. she was ready for anything. God took his angel away from this horrible earth. I know one day it will b me is a pity no one has return to say what is life like beyond death.. For us we just need to live our life for God so that whatever time death come we all will b ready. B strong prince family.

    While, I’m extremely saddened by her passing; I’m disgusted that the cost of her treatment was that high!! One day the world will learn that the cost of a human life is far more superior than the cost of machines!! sniff, sniff, for this young lady and her family.

    • death is a sting
      March 27, 2012

      what aches me more is that if she did not have the mney on time she would have died and the doctors would not have the surgery done..ah ah what a thing uh? during the time of waiting her valves kept leaking hence making her closer to death. now their money in their pocket.

    • Justice and Truth

      @ Anoushah

      Recall the DGS teacher who was injured on his head, on-the-job by a student and requested a Scan. He was told at the PMH that it would cost $500. He said that he did not have the money. I wondered if he was ever successful in geting it?
      Taken from a book of jokes which originated in the US:
      A man frantically rushed into a hospital emergency room with two broken arms. He ran up to the nurse at the desk and shouted. “I need a doctor!”
      The nurse calmly nodded and said, “Before we treat you. I have to know one vital fact.”
      “I’m not allergic to penicillin,” cried the man. “My heart is fine and I’m not on any medication.”
      “That’s good,” said the nurse, “but that’s not the information I need.”
      “What is it then?” shouted the man, grimacing in pain. The nurse replied, “Do you have medical coverage or will you pay cash?”
      When I read of the DGS teacher’s plight of being refused a Scan because he did not have the funds I searched for this joke and could not find it. Tonight I searched for it again and found it.
      While this is a joke and does not reflect the seriousness that a young lady lost her life, it goes to show that people will be denied medical attention in some countries which do not have Health Care System. In the meantime, as the patient is waiting for funding to undergo the operation, sadly, you know what could happen.
      In the case of Shernel, this is what happened. Do not blame anyone for that. The government should try to implement this necessary system and keep funding on hand in the event another national may be in need of an operation.
      The T & T operation was costly. One would think that the T & T hospital could have done it for less and sooner. The operation may have been too late. I hate to state this but I wonder how efficient the doctors are.
      She is out of her earthly anxiety and suffering. May her soul rest in peace.

    In every battle the warrior must rest.. Shernelle you fought the battle and now you are resting not defeated, for where you no longer could fight, the Great I AM..your Comforter and Deliverer carried your people. You amid your illness united a nation across miles and oceans.One young girl brought us together and reminded us of the spirit of community, forgiveness and love. I believe this is how you would want Dominica to remain and your passing is our gift of renewal in thought and spirit. Thank GOD for you, now dress in your crimson warrior gown and go sing with angels! Rest in Peace Dominican beauty!

    Shernel Prince, Wow what a beautiful soul. Your light will continue to shine. Your smile will be forever in our hearts. The twinkle in your eye we will remember every time we think of you. Your strength in the almighty helps us to renew my faith in God. Your courage is a motivator to us that in spite of the odds, you found the strength to never give in or give up. The promise you held onto that you could do anything through Christ who strengthen you, we will never ever forget. Your love for community and your active involvement to participate will be missed. We will remember how you so freely shared your ideas with you youth group S.O.U.L Enterprise to move forward, continues to inspire us. Your graceful dance moves during interpretive gospel dances with the members of your dance group, we remember fondly. Your involvement with the Wesley Peace Initiative will bring forth fruits. We will miss you more than you could ever imagine. You know how much we loved you and with this we are comforted.

    To your parents, Mathew and Don Prince, your brothers, aunts, Edith, Annie, Wynant, Lee, Lynn and your numerous uncles and family members. I can only imagine your pain and remain hopeful that God will see you through. Mathew and Don you raised a beautiful daughter and should feel proud for the example she was to us. Shernel you’re resting in the arms of your redeemer, good bye my dear.

    I will love you always. Athenia Benjamin

    What Dominica needs is a good Health Insurance Company, or National Health Insurance thus making it mandatory and affordable for everyone to obtain medical insurance.

    MONEY CANNOT GIVE LIFE AND MONEY CANNOT TAKE LIFE .IT ONLY CONTRIBUTES TO GIVING AND TAKING.THIS YOUNG LADY’S TURN HAS COME ,MINE AND OTHERS WILL FOLLOW.

    Now its time that some rich person set up a charity organisation to help the less fortunate persons. We depend to much on government for assistance in this country. God helps those who help themself. And the father should know that goin on q95 and cry foul on the government won’t help his situation either. All politicians are corrupt. Thank u Lord that I don’t depend on government for nuthin

    MAY GOD STRENGTHEN YOUR FAMILY
    A Better Place

    She’s in a better place right now
    Than she’s ever been before;
    All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
    Nothing troubles her anymore.

    It’s we who feel the burden of
    Our sadness and our grief;.
    We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
    Before we get relief.

    We know we’ll reconnect with her
    At the end of each life’s road;
    We’ll see her cherished face again
    When we release our earthly load.

    When I listened to the playback of the young lady’s contribution on Q95, Im sure she did not want her passing associated with that kind of scandal that went on on Tuesday morning.
    We really need to put things in perspective and stop being blinded in our anger and jealousy against one man. Some of us have so many skeletons in our cupboards. If only the world knew what some of us are guilty of, while we cast aspersions at others. MY PEOPLE TAKE A GOOD LONG HARD LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

      Yes we took a long hard look and this is what we saw. Someone drinking alcohol ,smoking and driving at top speed, crashed into the sea and her face was torn up, she got immediate assistance to have plastic surgery. Never contributed anything to Dominica but get Infinity vehicle duty free while most Dominicans are struggling to pay health insurance and their surgeries. That is what we see when we look in the mirror. I hope you have a mirror too,or maybe you blind

    Death is never something easy and it is even more difficult when a parents have to bury their young child. She was a God fearing and faithful young woman and her faith in God up to the end illustrates that. Let her parents and family take hope in that fact that if she stayed faithful till the end God will raise her up in the first resurrection. Even in death, God is in control.

    The loss of parent, sibling, spouse or child is never easy; however we all have a destined time and Miss Prince time has come. Unfortunately for the ones she left behind this is not an easy transition, as you must now live with this void. I pray that you hold on strong and believe that one day each of you will reunite, as we all must travese the same path. Fill your days with the cherished memories of the times you spent together, and live with the joy of knowing that your loved one will live on eternally in your hearts and memories. Also remember to keep her light shining through your deeds. I pray for strenght and courage for you all. May her soul rest in peace.

    Shernel, I’m trying not to cry. All I can say is God knows why. I’ll forever treasure the memories of you. Just hearing your pleasant faint voice saying to us I always wanted to come to your concerts. Imagining your smile as we sang to you and hear you saying no one has ever sang to me before. I’m so glad that we got the chance to minister to you my dear. Remember i promised to get you this book “when God does not make sense”. I never found it. I ask myself, where is God when death strikes to a heart as pure, loving and kind as yours. God sees and knows the things that we can’t. And because he is all powerful and all knowing he called you home for it was your time to leave. You have affected so many lives in such a positive way. Your faith was much more than a mustard seed and I am certain that it was your faith that made you well. I would want us to remember her as the young lady who wanted to go home for Christmas but was too sick to make it. She did not get angry and frustrated. In her conditions she ensured that she brought cheers to the hearts of the other patients around her by giving them gifts. This is the Shernel I will like us to remember. Please please please, Shernel would like nothing more than for us to be united not divided over her death. If there is anything she would say to us it would be “THAT’S OK”. Let’s just remember the kind efforts of ALL Dominicans to ensure she return home. God is in control. HOME FREE!! eventually.

      March 27, 2012

      This is very sad, but you cannot be disappointed with the system in Trinidad. That’s the way it is. In the US, sometimes an ambulance cannot take a patient to certain hospitals if they do not have insurance.Before being admitted to a nursing home in Trinidad my mum had to wait in the sitting area while we got a certified bank cheque to pay the deposit of $20,000. Unfortunately, that’s just the way life is.

        For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
        Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble.
        He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
        Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
        Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
        That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
        For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
        And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God:
        Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.
        But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
        Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know[there is] a judgment.

    My condolence to the family of Ms. Prince. May her soul Rest In Peace..

  66. March 27, 2012

    The passing away of the physical body in someone who looks so young and beautiful, as the person of Shernel Prince, is not a very pleasant situation to grasp.

    However when I read what cancer was already doing to her heart, I perceived that her body had already given up on remaining in this world–if only she could haved believed that her faith would have healed her!

    Sad as it may be that she has passed away, there is nothing money or the person/persons, who loved her most of all, can do now.

    But I hope that many of us in Dominica will learn to humble ourselves, knowing that God is always in control–regardless of what our profession, skill, or ability is–and so the final decission is His; not man’s!

    I say that because I noticed that while some people chanted Amen and Alleluia to the Radio Station and those involved in raising funds for Shernel’s medical treatment–they forgot it was God who needed the Honor and the Praise.

    I wondered! Did those people actually believe they were doing Shernel a great favor?

    It is possible that a vigil for a few days of sincere prayer, through steadfast faith, could have stopped the decay of Shernel’s body–as Holy Spirit would anoint her with Love, putting her in the gradual process of healing?

    For by the stripes of Jesus Christ, we are healed–not by the payment of $100,000.00 for man-made medical service. We ned to keep that in our minds day in and day out.

    Some people were saying God bless and God is good etc, etc, but was that not simply word of the lips–especially evidence of money was involved. Apostle Paul tells us the Life is existing by faith and not by sight.

    For when God is forgotten, our unfairly flatered throughout our works, no matter waht the greatness of our accomplishments in our minds, that greatness we perceive is stil the lustre of pride and futility–which is not of God.

    Anyway I did not know anything about Shernel, but she is now dead in the body; and so, my wish is that she is going to her grave with everything being well with her soul.

    For with everything well with her soul, death has no sting on her Spirit and the grave has no victory over her Life with Jesus Christ.

    Jesus has told us: “My Father chooses My people for Me and I must raise them on the last day” I wish that Shernel is one of the people God has chosen to have Life through the Son, Jesus Christ–before she passed away.

    With that said, I shall sing: In the sweet bye and bye we will meet on that beatiful shore; and in Life or in death O Lord abide with us! Amen!

      how much words that there just say you are sory and streach your heart to the family they do not want composition or sa any waye rest in piece shernel

      • March 28, 2012

        At “Smartest of all” My heart is so big and so full of the warmth of God’s Love, that is the reason I need many words to express it to those around me.

        I cannot be as cold as you, to only write a half sentence that still tells Shernel to rest in “piece”

        I never say that to a dead person, especially that I never knew them as they existed in this world. But if I did, I most certainly would not suggest that the person rest in “PIECE”–if you know what I mean!

    RIP shernel! While you fought the fight with courage, those who could most likely have made a difference played politics with your life. Your stryggles have once again taught me of how destructive politics can be.

    On the other hand, it showed that outside the political arena we still have loving, caring Dominicans like Matt Peltier and the good folks at Q95.

    March 27, 2012

    May the young lady rest in peace and may her family find peace during this difficult time.

    On another note, Dominicans, this life is very unpredictable, and some of these illnesses are very expensive to treat. Please souplait, as long as you earning some steady income, I urge every Dominican to invest in some medical insurance. I also urge the Government to encourage the insurance companies on island to create affordable and transparent insurance plans for our people.

    In this day and age, where diagnoses of cancer, heart disease etc. are on the increase, we just cannot afford to depend on the treasury or radio-thons to take care of your medical expenses. We need to start insuring ourselves.

    • Reader
      March 27, 2012

      So true Irie! If you have a job you should have some form of health insurance. Our medical treatment should not be so dependent on the goodness of other.

  75. :))
    March 27, 2012

    I can’t help but think that was A LOT of money spent on an operation that was not likely to be a success. A sufferer of terminal cancer should spend their last days in the comfort of their home surrounded by loved ones, not on an operating table.

    A line from the song by Vestal Goodman Dottie Rambo- The Holy Hills Of Heaven

    “This house of flesh is just a prison bars of bones.”
