Sto­ries by RAD­HI­CA DE SIL­VA

Un­der the soft glow of can­dle­light, scores of mourn­ers moved in solemn si­lence through a vil­lage now bound by grief, each flick­er­ing flame ho­n­our­ing the life of sev­en-year-old An­gel­i­ca Saydee Jo­gie—a child de­scribed as a “lit­tle princess” whose light was ex­tin­guished far too soon.

An­gel­i­ca died in a jet ski ac­ci­dent in To­ba­go, a sud­den and vi­o­lent tragedy that has left an aching void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her, while shak­ing the na­tion in­to mourn­ing.
