Title: IHD has lost a long time Moderator "Bajaane"
Post by: Sluff on May 06, 2013, 05:38:50 AM
I am sad to have to notify everyone here at IHD that we have lost our second oldest Moderator Patsy Aurora Barker affectionately known to most of you as "Bajaane". She went on to be with her Lord last evening. I have no other information to pass along at this time.

As soon as we learn more we will pass it on to you.

Rest peacefully our dear Bajaane, your work on earth is over and it is now time to reap your heavenly reward that the Lord has prepared for you.

My BanannaJane.  I will miss you here on Earth but look forward to meeting you someday.  You don't have to be poked with needles anymore. 

You are such a dear soul.   :pray;

I think I'm going to throw up.

This is horrifying news.

I hope she finds more peace with God than she did with a dialysis machine here on earth.

Oh no! :( I kept meaning to tell her how absolutely lovely she looked in that last pic she posted. Another delightful soul I'll never have the chance to meet. Rest in peace, Aurora.

Bajanne's daughter Sam says the "Going Home Celebration in Tortola" is Tuesday the 14th of May in the Virgin Islands, then they will have a funeral and burial in Barbados.
This is the Tuesday service location:
St. Georges Anglican Church
170 Main St., Road Town
VG1110, British Virgin Islands
Sam posted on facebook:
"Please as we celebrate this vibrant life, please wear vibrant colours or african clothes. We are rejoicing that the Lord has taken my beautiful mother home. Thanks everyone. Please keep my family in your prayers during this difficult time."

I am trying to write a tribute to Bajanne to give to SAm for the ceremony.  I have no words, only tears, but here is what I have so far.  Please help me complete it. Send more words to describe her and ideas to be included.

All I have are tears.
No words to express the feeling of loss.
A special lady has gone from our lives.
Leaving a blank spot in my heart.
The words do not come easily in this tribute.

A Tribute to Bajanne

I didn't know her, but I wish I did. :'(

It makes me sadder and sadder to learn of all the deaths this blasted disease causes.


This damned machine is supposed to save us, not kill us. -.-  :stressed;


This is why I can't pray. It does nothing, never has for me.

The machine didn't kill her, it was kidney disease, in all likelihood.
She had a strong belief in God and I believe she's in a better place.
But that's just me.

One of the things I dread when I am gone for a long time is to return and one of our Angels has returned home.

We spoke about my family being from the West Indies and she encouraged me to return informing me dialysis standards and care were similar to the U.S.

Goodbye Love, Super Sweet Super Nice Ms. Bajanne

I'm certain a mod or admin will scold me for posting on such an old thread but it will be worth it, sry ahead of time but I missed this sad event.
