Tributes
To my Sweet and Beautiful Wife; whom I loved with all my heart
Let me first say a huge piece of my heart was taken way from me when she passed th is life. When we first met that Tuesday 18'h
of June 1996, I knew that I had found the woman of my dreams and the mother of my children. Her love was so pure and genu ine
and she gave it without hesitation. The smile she possessed was radiant as the sun and could warm any heart. She gave me three
(3 ) beautiful children and I can see her in all of them- kind, loving, gentle and happy, w ith a zest for life. So at this time I must say
goodbye to my beautiful wife. The kids need me and she would want me to carry on. Over time, the pain would subside but the
memory of her wou ld last as long as God grants me life.
Her Bebe,
Clayton 'Shaka 'Rhymer
R emem ber mommy, I love you and I will never forget you, your first child.
Love always,
Zaria Rhymer
[love you mommy and I will always remember you .
Love you,
Kiara A lyssa Rhymer
Jessica, hija querida, nunca imagine que partirias tan pronto, cuando te sentias tan feliz rodeada de tu esposo, hijos y toda tu
fam ilia la de Tortola y la de Venezuela, porque aun cuando estuviesemos lejos, siempre estabamos muy cerea. Te fuistes con tantas
ilusiones y hermosos proyectos para ti y Ios tuyos . Rogamos a Dios nos perm ita ver crecer tus hijitos yen tu memoria nos ayude
a conve rtirlos en un hombre y dos muj eres de bien, para alegria y orgullo de todos quienes Ios rodeen . Hija te Ilevas el inmeuso
amor de tus padres, hermanos, tios, tias, sobrinos, sobrinas, primos, primas, arnigos de tu infancia y juventud y la de quienes te
conocieron, porque siempre tuvistes para todos: una sonrisa, una gracia, un halago, carino y atencion. Siempre fbis tes a! guien muy
especial y donde quiera que Dios te haya Ilevado, debe ser un lugar tan especial y alegre como tu. Que Dios te bendiga siempre
hij a adorada.

lt is with a heavy heart that we sit down to write this tribute to Jessi ca, who came into our lives and was li ke a daughter to us.
From the first time we met her, we fe ll in love with her. We find it so difficult to write thi s and still can ' t fathom w hat has happen.
Every time we th ink of her, all we can see is her smi ling face coming out of our guest bedroom dow nstairs and standing by the
kitchen counter while talking to us. Jessica had such a warm and pleasant personality that woul d just take in everyone with whom
she came in contact. Even though she has gone from us so suddenly, her presence will always rem ain with us forever. To C layton,
the children and fa mily, may God give yo u the strength to go on from day to day and
remember that Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. May she rest in peace.

Jessica came into our lives to teach us the true meaning of happiness . She not only inspired us to work hard and to persevere, but
also to be the best parent we can be to our children. Her sudden pass ing serves as a reminder that there is a greater bei ng/power
that hold the key fo r li fe and death and that we should always be mindful of how fragile life van be. Jehovah God has a master plan
for Jessica, fo r now her work is done here on earth, we will endeavour to carry that torch of love, especially towards her ch ildren
and our familie s. May she rest in the everlasting arms of the O ne who created us, as we make peace within our hearts knowing
one day we will m eet again.

God brings special people into our lives to share a little of Himself with us and when He is ready, at times He takes them. Jessica
was a burst of sunshine, a truly loving, ki nd and affectionate person. She embraced life and people with a passion. She Loved all
her family dearly, even those she "adopted". She will truly be missed by us.
Linton Leonard and Family
For all those who Love Jessica and those for whom she Loved
With much love to Shaka, Zaria, Kiara, & Isaia and all their family .
Jessica gave us her love, her kindnes s, her sweet tenderness. She will truly always be sorely missed.
Let us thank her for the love she has shown. Now our great Father God has called her hom e. So let us grieve a while, fo r grieve
we must, but let our grief be comforted by God's trust.
lt's only for awhile that we must part . May God please bless every memory of her within our hearts.
Though we won't see or touch her, she' 11 be near. And if we listen to our heart, we will hear her laughter, see her sweet smile and
feel all of her love around us, soft and clear.
And when it 's our turn to be called by our great Father, She'll be there to greet us with her arms open and that beautiful Jessica
smile.

A Tribute to Jess,
Words can not express the loss l felt over her passing. She will be sadly missed by me. She was al way s there for me when l
needed assistance. Our relationship got even closer when we both stared working at the Bank. We talked and laughed together
and had a good working relationship. I will miss her calling in the morning asking me "Mich, how you doing" ? H ow th ings down
there ? Meani ng downstairs, after I moved to International. But God knows best, until we meet agai n. May her soul rest in eternal
peace.
