“It is with deep sadness that we announce the tragic passing of Reshonna Thompson, a 14-year-old student from the village of Diamond, who was in Form 3 at the St. Vincent Girls’ High School. She was involved in a vehicle accident with her aunt earlier today.
Tragically, Reshonna lost her life, and her aunt is currently in critical condition.

We ask that you keep them in your prayers, especially as they navigate through this unimaginable loss.
Please join us in praying for healing and strength for her aunt, the grieving family, and the entire community affected by this devastating loss. May they find comfort and support in each other during this trying time”.
