The 3rd Annual Memorial to those who lost their lives at sea was held on Friday evening at Sunset Resort. I believe the turnout was the best yet. It is always a very solemn occasion, however, we could rejoice this year as no new names were added to the list.
We would like to give special thanks to Evangelist Gerry Thompson for taking the time to be our guest speaker and sing for us. His presence meant a great deal to us. If you would like to learn more of Gerry Thompson's ministries check out www.gerrygospel.com, www.visionoftruthtv.com or email him at equalizergospel@yahoo.com.
We also would like to thank Kory South and all the folks at Sunset Villa for hosting this very special event. Thanks to Dennis Abrahams for helping to notify everyone.

Thanks for the pictures and report on this important event, P. I'm happy to see that this becoming an annual event, even though the reason for it is such a sad one.
RIP all those who have passed before us.

I too, would like to say thanks to all the sponsors this year and a very special thanks to TreasureBeach.net and Patsy Moxam, their contributions were really exceptional,and the turn out was great. Our next step from here, will be to get some pictures of some similar monuments elsewhere in the world , and get the people in Kingston working on the actual monument , I beleive if we get it built now and have it brought down to Treasure Beach that this will speed up the process of us all deciding the best spot to place it. It is such an important part of our history for the area and I want to see it complete, for sure by Hero's weekend this year, thats October,2008...Mark my words.
keep singing for Jesus brother. you are reaching millions.
God bless
