One of the greatest burdens to bear in this life is that of sudden death. Why does death, unbeknown to itself, have to walk into people's life forcing us into great sadden and sometimes even deep depression. Yes, I understand that death is a part of the living but why do we have to go? Why can't we enjoy to fulfilment of life and what it has to offer before we finally agree that enough is enough? Unfortunately, reality is far from my own silly imagination and wishes. This is why I always advocate that we should always be prepared for death because death has no friend or family member. If it did... I would make sure no one I know dies because I know what it is like to lose so many people; friends, family and acquaintances over the years, and today I lost another friend. He is part of the Penville Five and goes by the name Chris Marcellin. Just the eerie shock of hearing one of your close classmates die, after seeing him just 2 weeks prior in a concert, no words can be uttered. I remember that night in Grandbay, where individuals from all over the Caribbean decended on the last night of The Summer Camp for Chris's last concert. Man did we have fun that night under some glorious live positive music... not realizing that a few days later he would be gone. I tell you! Hmm... Not, however, discounting the other 4 young men who were also vibrant, full of potential, members of their village known as Penville.
These individuals that we speak off today, came from their village feast and were on their way home only to have found themselves in a bit of a pickle that resulted in their vehicle plunging over a precipice! That day changed the entire outcome of not just their friends and families but the whole country by extension. As one individual said in the street shout, "five too many". We would like to send our condolences to the friends and family and wish God's speed in this time of need. This is what some individuals had to say on the incident. Have a look below.
