    Very sad, my condolences to the family and people of Dominica. God is the giver of life. It’s too late for the dead so let’s pray for the living, that they do not give up but surrender to God. He never said that there will always be sunshine. Let our life matter and not give in to peer pressure, financial troubles politics, and any unfortunte circumstances. My belief is that prayer changes things. Let’s not talk about it but be about it.

    It is not only a sad day for Marigot, it is a sad day for all of Dominica that a God-given life was taken especially in this manner.
    My condolence to his grieving family and all those who personally knew him.
    May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
    God knows what happened and how it was caused. Investigation is being conducted. At this time, let us not prematurely conclude why this occurred.

      Faith, hope and trust in the Lord. Everyone in every part of the world is experiencing hardships/problems. Those in D/ca are no exception to them.
      Please make a note of this which I have previously stated on this Website, an old Indian saying: “I thought I had no shoes until I saw a man with no toes.” Never forget it. It will give hope.
      Some countries have 9 months of wintry days. Dominica is a tropical country, experiencing hot/warm weather. There is much to do in D/ca. Furthermore, people must not only think of themselves but of others and to help others. In so doing, they will feel and know that life is worth living.
      At this moment we have no idea what exactly happened and if he did take his life. God knows.
