Some dumb people are asking wat was she doing out so late,like she was asking to get shot???? Don’t be ridiculous.We’ve all been out late at one point or another,no matter wat d reason was,we were not asking for trouble.So instead of acting stupid let’s pray for her family and hope dat gods forgives her for all her sins
this is soooo sad to see a young woman life have to go so ooo god help we young ppl in the B.V.I MY PARY go out to her son and family’s
WE ALL HAVE LEFT DOMINICA HOPING TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE. I’M SURE THIS YOUNG LADY WAS NO EXCEPTION LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE. IT IS HARD OUT THERE CRIMINALS AND BAD BOYS ARE FEW BUT ARE TERRORIZING THE POPULATION OUT THERE. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SEEK GOD AND PRAY EVERYDAY THAT HE WILL GUIDE AND PROTECT US IN OUR DAILY WALK OF LIFE. GOD IS IN CONTROL SEEK HIM FOR HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US.”I’D RATHER LIVE A LIFE BELIEVING THERE IS A GOD THAN TO DIE AND FIND OUT THERE IS’NT,THAN LIVE AS IF THERE IS’NT AND DIE TO FIND OUT THERE IS.”
this is soooo sad to see a young woman life have to go so ooo god help we young ppl in the B.V.I MY PARY go out to her son and family’s
PARY IS WA WE NEED NOW IN THE B.V.I
whats is really going on within 2 months 2 young lady from grand fond both gas station workers we need prayers sad sad sad
mothers must be at home with their kids at four oclock in the morning.
Otherwise she was really a hard working mom
Well this young lady had no kids, so what is the point of your statement?
Ineedfree:
Think twice before making these comments. Maybe there is a very good reason or explanation why the young lady was there. Your thoughts need a little bit of empathy.
I WAS SIMPLY MAKING TWO OBSERVATIONS:
1: MOTHER OUT LATE….not 12 or 1 but 4am?
2: OUT LATE WORKING HARD IS WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR INEEDFREE
Help them all Lord, its not only the huge countries that the crime rated are at its peak, but all that we once considered to be paradise is becoming a war zone. Does the human life means a things anymore, maybe they should bring back the death penalty, it may get people to stop and think,before the react to every conflict by taking a life.
We feel your pain words cannot express may her soul rest in peace and her family find comfort in jesus
There is no fear of God before their eyes,Romans 3:18.And they don’t fear any punishment because we say it is too barbaric,and inhumane to hang these criminals, who go around taking innocents lives.They know sentencing them 10 years in prison is just a joke.
Again, let me address the living.Since you don’t know who next, why not trust the Savior now while you have the opportunity?.
i hope the punishment fits the crime for the both of dem especially this one with it being carried out in cold blood but i kno tht we gf ppl strong so to pinky and d rest i wish yu all strength and may the soul of kay rest in peace
RIP Kay-Kay! To your family in Grand Fond and Tortola, may you all find comfort in the Lord knowing that she’s in a better place.
this man is a real weaklin to pull a gun on a woman,he needs to be punished in the worst way,i would not even hang him,he would die to quick,put him among some life time inmates,so they can ride him his bottom night after night.
It is sad indeed to have such a beautiful girl, gone to her grave, at age 20. But now there are so many questions left unanswered, pertaining to the future Life of this girl–for physical death is not the final death.
Yes! There is a swamp of lament over her death–especially from those who knew her personally. No! There is nothing wrong with lamenting over her death either–especially so tragic; but will the lamentation help her and those who are left after her?
Therefore, when these things happen we, who are left behind need to stop, look, listen, and search within ourselves.
Our first question should be: Is it well with my mind? Why our mind? Because that is where the decision making happens. Kaywanna’s choice to be at a night club at 4:00am in the morning was a decision of her mind–which she accepted.
Is your mind influencing you to walk the walk of Life, or are you walking the walk of death? You have to know what path you are on.
God created us to be filled, hence we have the desire to remain filled–but what is it that we are choosing to fill ourselves with?
In other words who are we allowing to fill us up–or feed us. For we may be eating one of two kinds of food–the food of Life or the food of death. Are we alert about the foods we eat.
Kaywanna was searching for fulfillment or feeding as well–but at a nightclub parking lot at 4:00am in the morning? Who was feeding her? Well there is no point in answering this question, we all know now!
But was she aware of that destructive feeding–most become aware, because our God loves us; He wants us to know of the dangers we are in and to protect us; but selfishness is the reason we deny His Love for us–the reason we suffer the consequences.
The thief does not come, unless to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come that they may have Life and that they may have it more abundantly–says our Lord God, Jesus Christ.
People of Dominica, it is past time for us to put on the mind of alertness. We need to be filled, but the fulfillment we should desire is spiritual fulfillment. When you are filed in the spirit, you will never desire fleshly fulfillment, for the spirit fills the flesh as well.
Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind; that you may know what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
God has given us “free will” Through this ability of our mind we can choose the food and the walk of Life, or the food and the walk of death.
I feel very sad for Kaywanna! She is so young and beautiful. But at age 20, she was old enough to put “free will” to work on her behalf. Would God have taken her Life through the shot of a gun, had she been walking the walk of Life?
Young men and women in Dominica, answer this question for yourself and then, put your ability of “free will” to work, before it is too late for you.
Rest In Peace another loss for the grand fond community….God bless all her friends and family in this loss…
RIP Kay.. gone but not forgotten… Love you sigh
i shivered this morning when i heard the news from my head to my toe. we went to the same high school and from near by communities will surely miss u girlfriend rest in peace
The angels are always taken up to heaven, look how lovely she is.
RIP beautiful young woman. It is not a good thing to be at a nightclub at 4:00AM. Nobody is safe after midnight … anywhere. I don’t care what your “culture” is, 4:00am is asking for trouble.
Oh people must live in fear? So now the victim is victimised in death even? Where she was and what time it was is no issue. She should be free to live her life and do whatever she wants when she wants, is there a 4:am curfew? what if he did it at 9 am or 12:00 noon? would that make you more sympathetic? I really don’t get you people and your reasoning. The man had criminal intentions point blank and no matter when, where or why he would have done the same thing without remorse!
we all go to the club and get home day-break. Is that a reason to get killed?
First of Kay had no kids folks,people are assuming the picture with her hugging the pre-schooler is her son, NO.
Sadly a man must be so obsessed with a woman that he takes her life in cold blood with no ryhme nor reason? I can’t get pass that
neither can i i hope this skinny ass punk pay.
yes! they both have a son together!
Condolences to the Family. When someone dies tragically we tend always to to speak and hear nice things about the victim…”Relatives interviewed by the media in the BVI said Rhymer is a quiet person who stays away from trouble.”..however trouble did not find the victim at her home…”Reports indicate the incident occurred at 4:00 am during an alleged altercation with a man in the parking lot of a night club…” just observing
I would like to extend condolences to the family and friends of this young lady. In such a short space of time, two young women from Grand Fond were killed. So….So…sad. May the good lord continue to give these family members strength to go through this ordeal.
its sad yet still life goes on i wish the family all the best nd take it strong.but on the other hand when u are in dominica u can go out mayb all times of the day although we are in a dead zone but en u are nt in ur country stay indoors danger is every where.if she had art like responsible individual probably she will still be a live 4 in d mrning is time to sleep or wake up 4 work since we cant change things may god take control
