Just before 7.30 p.m. on December 28, last year, my brother Sutcliffe passed away. On this first anniversary of his death I thank God for the life he lived. He was caring and always ready to help
others in need. He resigned his job and came home to run the family farm after
my father died. At that time my twin and I were only 13 years old. He loved nature and so I thought it only
fitting to put his picture in a frame depicting nature in all its glory. Sutcliffe lived a
full life being a teacher, civil servant, farmer, politician and Justice of the Peace in
the parish of St. Mary, Jamaica. We will always miss you Sutcliffe.
