Some very sad news

I have just learnt the very sad news that Ria Davis who worked with me at the DRC has passed away. The news totally shocked me and I really didn't believe it until I tracked down the notice posted in the Trinidad Guardian. Ria was one of those rare people who was intelligent, humble, generous, kind, with a great sense of fun and curiosity and very very warm she made everyone feel calm around her. Ria was wise beyond her years and always supportive and honest. I know Ria has a large family and many many friends who will dearly miss her. My thoughts and love are with her family at this time.
