I had the esteem pleasure of meeting Doreen Holder because she was the mother of my best friend. I must say that her personality was one that could be described as radiant and electrifying. Although Dawn was unaware of it . I did have some interesting life lessons that she taught me. One was to be very dedicated towards your child's education and this was evident by her from the times i witnessed her patience with Kevin as he prepared for his Common Entrance. I was also fortunate to have seen her dedication to work when she was a librarian at the University of Guyana how she went the extra mile to help us students in our usual confusion not knowing too well the book nor the Author we needed at times. I was also priviledged to have been at her bed side in her weakest hour; i must say when she was in the Mercy Hospital the first time and even then she was a woman with lots of hope for the future. God took her too soon for us. He knew best, he didnot want her to suffer anymore. She surely has impacted on my life during her journey here on earth. May her soul rest in peace and may we all remember her how we last knew her alive and well full of life and zest.
