A Tragic Loss
In Memory of Dr. Trona Bennett

January 14, 2009

This is a sad day in Castries. This is a time of intense grief in St. Lucia and the entire Southeastern Caribbean. We mourn the untimely death of a hero. But as we celebrate Dr. Trona Bennett's life, we must try to look beyond the grief to that which she would want us to accomplish in her name. No greater honor can be bestowed upon her than to pursue relentlessly that which was her passion.
