    My little sister. Congrats Judy. All the hard work and sacrifice has paid off. Daddy and Mama would have been proud.

    By the way Son Of Sam, not every one has political aspirations because of their achievements

      Dear it’s Time,
      She is not going to receive a big PARTY like the PM.
      YOR see you only get these things when U pay for it with dry CITIZEN TAX MONEY, she studied and work hard for her Dr. rate so the country will not give that to her
      They love their CORUPT PM, what a shame.

      Did she indicated to u that she intends to come to Dominica? She has done her family and country proud. It would be a good idea for her to come back to her birth place. Dominica is brain drained, we need people like her and others to help build back our country

    i think you need to take a look at the information about some of the relatives of this nurse as Ophelia is only related to the maries by mariage

      You are wrong her sister is Ophelia Marie. This is not the singer Ophelia Olivache Marie

    • Vernon Marie
      May 13, 2016

      Can’t you read Ophelia the singer was Olivache before she got married to Mark Marie. We Dominicans don’t like to read before we say things and also don’t like to ask questions before we speak.

    • pingo

      She also has a sister named Ophelia! There are two people with the name Ophelia Marie

  21. May 13, 2016

    Congratulations Ms./Mrs. Peters, we are always proud to see Dominicans here at home and around the world excel in their educational, occupational and social endeavors. We wish you all the best as you continue to put your education, skills and talents to good use. May God continue to bless you and guide you always.
