This has been a rough week for the extended Arthur family.
Firstly, my niece, Nadira Sewchand, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Joel Sewchand passed away in Newburg, MD on Saturday. Nadie was a young Attorney whose untimely death utterly devastated the family. The Sewchand family is from Nismes, West Bank Demerara. Her funeral is on Thursday September 2.
Secondly, my first cousin, Lenny Jagdhar of Brooklyn NY and Port Mourant, Berbice passed away this morning. The funeral arrangements are still to be determined.
As if that is not enough, Doreen Ramroop, wife of my cousin, Leonard Ramroop of Sheet Anchor, Canje and Fyrish, Corentyne (Ohab's Gas Station) passed away yesterday. Her funeral arrangements are also being determined.
May they all rest in peace.
