Remembering

RAMONA

hildren are a heritage from the Lord and On December 14, 1959 God blessed the union of Kessie and the Late Howitte Moncur with a beautiful baby girl, whom they christened Ramona Melvise Moncur. ‘Mona’ as she was affectionately called, was a warm, outgoing, vivacious, yet very humble woman. She enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest through simple pleasures like: serving and encouraging others, interacting with family and friends, and most of all spending time with those she loved. Ramona received her education at St. Barnabas Pre-School, Western Junior Primary, D.W. Davis and A. F. Adderley Secondary Schools. Upon leaving high school, she entered the world of work and was gainfully employed at several establishments until she found her joy in the hotel sector. Mona loved the hospitality and tourism industry and provided 25 years of dedicated service as a hotelier, serving in various capacities. She began as a waitress at the Crystal Palace hotel before moving on to Radisson (currently Melia) on West Bay Street. At Radisson, she successfully advanced to become a hostess of several restaurants and was later promoted to manager. During these years, Ramona’s already vibrant personality became greatly enhanced. Her hospitable nature and love for people allowed her to establish lifelong friendships with many visitors from around the world. After years of service in the hotel sector, Ramona worked for her uncle at Principle Traders Convenient Store on Nassau Street.

Having been blessed with many talents, Ramona became the recipient of numerous hotel-training certificates; especially for her outstanding and successful completion of Bahama Hosts. In addition to awards for excellent and dedicated service in the hospitality industry, she was honored and recognized for her participation in Toastmasters. For many years, she was a member of The Bahamas Diabetic Association, where she met many friends whom she regarded as family. After dedicating her life to the Lord and being baptized, she also became an active member of The New Lively Hope Baptist church, where she served on the pastoral committee, usher board and as part of the culinary committee. Ramona was the proud mother of five lovely children, whom she considered her precious pearls. She loved to cook and enjoyed hosting family gatherings. In fact, she enjoyed any occasion that brought people together. Mona was pleasant, easy to talk to and extremely â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;down to earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She connected well with almost everyone she met. She was the life of the party and was dearly loved by many. Her positive influence, generous spirit, heartwarming smile, and warm personality will be sorely missed. On August 21, 2020, after feeling very ill due to complications of Covid-19, Ramona was admitted to the South Beach Clinic for several days where she received supportive care. She fought hard and held on long enough to repeatedly remind her family, especially her children that she loved them. On Tuesday, 1st September, 2020 at 4:23 am, she quietly departed this life to be with the Lord. May her soul rest in peace and rise in glory.

Mothers

LOVE

My daughter, my emotions are all mixed at your going away. I am numb trying to remember the first time I brought you home; the joy I would have felt. Then the last time you left home and admitted to the hospital; now I am empty. No more will I see your smiling face or hear your voice as we sat at times and spoke about your day. During this pandemic, you checked on me to make sure I had something to eat and if I didn’t you would throw something together for me before going to bed. You have gone ahead of me and I will cry because I miss you; my heart breaks and somedays I feel I can’t go on but I have to...I must be strong for the family. I am happy that you are now in God’s presence so that will give me joy. I am thankful for the years he blessed me with your presence.

“Can a woman’s tender care Cease towards the child she bare’ Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee.” Sleep on my child, I love you. Mommy

Celebration of Life

ORDER OF SERVICE Officiating: Rev. Dr. Shelton Higgs Assisted By: Rev. Lavardo Duncanson Musical Prelude Processional | Entrance of Family Opening Remarks | Rev. Lavardo Duncanson. Asst. Pastor, (NLHBC) For we know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (II Cor. 5: 1) Opening Hymn | City of Gold There’s a city of Light, where there cometh no night; ‘Tis a city of beauty untold; All my treasures are there and its beauty I’ll share, When I get to that city of gold. (Chorus) When I leave all trouble and care, I will say good morning up there; I will have great gladness untold, When I get to that city of gold There’s no sorrow up there in that city so fair And no sickness can enter I’m told; Shadows all will have flown, I will meet friend I’ve known When we get to that city of gold. Won’t you go there with me to the home of the free, Would you see heaven’s beauty unfold? If you will come along, we will sing heaven’s song When we get to that City of gold.

Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed, “O ye heavy-laden, come to Me and rest; Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear, Bring Me ev’ry burden, bring Me ev’ry care.” (Chorus) Come unto Me; I will give you rest; Take My yoke upon you, Hear Me and be blest; I am meek and lowly, Come and trust My might; Come, My yoke is easy, And My burden’s light. Are you disappointed, wand’ring here and there, Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care? Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast? Bring your case to Jesus—He will give you rest. Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame, Stumbling tow’rd the pit of hell’s consuming flame, By the pow’rs of sin deluded and oppressed, Hear the tender Shepherd, - “Come to Me and rest.” Have you by temptation often conquered been, Has a sense of weakness brought distress within? Christ will sanctify you, if you’ll claim His best; In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest.

Julian Anderson Min. Junior Robinson (NLHBC) Recessional Hymn | “It’s Alright Now” There was a time I traveled a lonely sinful road, Beneath a heavy burden bending low; But now all things are different, for Jesus took my load, It’s alright now, I’m His I know. (Chorus) It’s alright now, for I am in my Saviour’s care, It’s alright now, my Saviour hears and answers prayer; He’ll walk beside me ’till I climb the heav’nly stair, And ev’rything is alright now. A-down a lonely pathway without a friend to guide, I walked in sin and sorrow all alone; ‘Till Jesus came and found me, and drew me to His side, It’s alright, for I’m His own. No more in sin I wander, no more in darkness roam, The Lord has placed my feet on higher ground; Each day new heights I’m gaining, my soul is nearing home, It’s alright now, I’m heaven bound.

“Glad Reunion Day”

“It Is Finished”

There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know When we see the many loved ones we’ve known here below Gathered on that blessed hilltop with hearts all aglow That will be a glad reunion day.

There’s a line that is drawn through the ages On that line stands an old rugged cross On that cross, a battle is raging To gain a man’s soul or it’s loss

(Chorus) A glad day, a wonderful day, A glad day, a glorious day There with all the holy angels and loved ones to stay That will be a glad reunion day.

(Chorus) It is finished, the battle is over It is finished, there’ll be no more war It is finished, the end of the conflict It is finished and Jesus is Lord

When we live a million years in that wonderful place Basking in the love of Jesus, beholding His face It will seem but just a moment of praising God’s grace That will be a glad reunion day

On one side, march the forces of evil All the demons, all the devils of hell On the other, the angels of glory And they meet on Golgotha’s hill The earth shakes with the force of the conflict And the sun refuses to shine For there hangs God’s son, in the balance And then through the darkness he cries

God

IS MY ALL & ALL

MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER I am missing you so much these days How empty my worlds seems, Going from seeing you everyday To only in my dreams.

A golden heart has stopped beating Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

The words you spoke so wisely Have never been so clear, All the lessons that you have taught me still remain right here.

I know you’re now not suffering, But I hate to see you go, For now you have left for a better place Cause God took you in his care.

God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And whispered, “Come to Me”.

Our lives have changed forever, Because you warmth is no longer near But I’ll love you just as much as if you were still here.

I LOVE YOU MOMMY, Llewlyn

“THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE ALWAYS NEAR”

Tribute

Long be my heart with such memories filled Like vase in which roses have once been distilled You may break you may shatter the vase if you will But the scent of the rose will hang around it still. Author Unknown Words cannot begin to express the depth of gratitude that I have for being your son. As I matured into adulthood you provided a constant reminder that nothing hoped for was any good without faith. That nothing dreamt about was worth pursing without belief in ones self. I grew up with a master motivator constantly around my life. I got to call her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;?. I now cling to the memories of moments when it was you that rallied my spirit to be the best version of me and dared me to step out of my box and be me. I always wondered why you loved to write letters. As I read some of the most profound ones that you have sent me over the years, I realize they have a lasting and lingering effect. They have created a consistent theme of motivation and the development of perseverance for me. I am so proud of who you were to my brothers and sister and I. You shared your heart with so many others. Your outpouring of love and affection was so selfless. You never judged me but let me seek those things I was passionate about. How blessed I am to have had you in my corner constantly cheering me towards those things I dreamt about and wished for. I will cherish the memories that we created together. Your words will linger on in my thoughts of you. You were the perfect mom for me and I will miss you tremendously. I love you infinity, to the ends of the earth and back. Forever grateful for you, Avard.

Mummy

You were my rock my confidant and my number one cheerleader. You were always by my side to give me support and build my confidence. Your words were the directions I needed when I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to turn. You were always the person l looked up to for guidance. You were so sensitive, so pretty, but you had great strength. You always provided stability within our family, you were full of laughter, even through tears you found a way. Most of all you were full of love. You were everything a mother should be and I thank you forever for our relationship. Love Davaine

A HUMBLE CHILD TASTES THE GRACE OF GOD, Gone too soon to be with the Lord. Another flower plucked from our garden, No more pain or suffering; all has been pardon. You were a mother, a sister daughter and friend, The lack of your presence has left our hearts to mend. You lived, loved laughed and loved to eat, Your cooking was a welcomed treat. You came and left and created your mark, A life of humility, servitude and a smile that could create sparks. No more coming to knock on your door, Only to hear â&#x20AC;&#x153;come in number fourâ&#x20AC;?. I love you mom but God knows best, Sleep in glory, you deserve your rest. Love always Travis (Child number 4)

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER FROM YOUR ONLY DAUGHTER, TIARA. Mummy, there are no words to describe the massive blow I felt the morning I got the news of your passing. We had just communicated so sweetly just the day before you left, which started with me waking up to your text “Good morning my sunshine”. Shortly after, my phone rang as you were calling. You said “I’m doing fine T, better days are coming, just remember that I love you”. I smiled, and found nothing unusual or odd about what you said at all. Your constant encouragement and warm expressions of love were expressed as part of a daily routine. Never in my wildest imagination could I ever have fathomed what the next morning would bring…. but I got the sad news… and here we are. As I think of you now, a huge lump swells in my throat and I feel numb as I struggle to fight back springs of tears. Some tears of sadness because I miss you, mixed with tears of love for having been blessed to have you as my mother. Your journey in this life was not always easy, but you were a wonderful, most affectionate and loving mom. You were my counselor and source of guidance, a pillar of strength, proudest supporter and friend. You gave me

life and made countless sacrifices to make my life special. I am here today because of the nurturing and loving support you provided from infancy until the final moments before you closed your eyes for the last time. I will forever cherish the life lessons, fond memories and profound words of wisdom you always shared. You were the most genuine person I’ve ever met. Sometimes you cried about little things because you had such a soft and tender heart. You loved deeply and had compassion for everyone. You constantly shared with others and always tried to feed the whole neighborhood. You brightened our days with your presence and heartwarming smile. You were truly a beautiful soul. I will miss you most on December 14th since we both shared the same birthday. I’ll also miss our long and vibrant discussions over the phone and coming home to see you when I’m on a break from school. When I feel sad, I’ll think of your animated expressions, which always made me laugh. I’ll remember the pranks you played on me or one of your hilarious childhood stories- Like your adventures through Washington Street, times spent with your favorite cousins, or the one about the tricks you played on Trudy when Aunt Dorothy sent you and her to the shop as little girls. You were one of a kind and things won’t ever be the same without you around. You will be greatly missed, my sweet and humble Mona, as you were dearly loved. I will always love you mummy. May your soul rest in peace, until we meet again. Love Tiara.

OUR WONDERFUL GRANDMOTHER, She never grew old. Her smile was as bright has the sunshine, And her heart was solid gold. Her life was full of loving deeds, Forever thoughtful of everyone’s special needs. She always encouraged and inspired us, To follow our every dream, She’d say you’re not alone Cause I am on your team. Today and tomorrow, our whole life through, I will always love and cherish all of our memories. Britney, Raven, Nikario, Lou-Ann and Luther,

To my Mother-in-law When I heard the news how guilty I felt, for being so far away And not being able to help. The only words I could here was “If Nikki was here”. I wouldn’t be in this hospital bed, but with Louie and Nikki Instead. I know you would say Nikki don’t cry, I told you I was only here with you for a little while. You met me and immediately changed my name, You’ll tell everyone about me, What I was doing, when and how, I guess that was your way of showing that you cared, Long walks, Long talks, and an occasional I love you, To a simple call to say forgive me, if I offended you. Travel, lunch and dinner dates are all said and done For now I only have pictures and memories, To remember each one. Always willing to help Spending time with your grandkids and always with a treat, To Laughing out Loud HAAA HEE (head throw back and all), To sitting on the couch and falling asleep. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Rest well in your Father’s loving arms. Nikki (Daughter-in-Law)

TO MY SISTER It is said, that you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family, With Mona I got both, as she was truly a godsend. For as far back as I can remember, you always looked out for me, Keeping me out of trouble, giving me great advice and even my 1st taste of Keith’s. I have so many great memories of your that I’ll always hold dear, But I’d trade them all, if it meant your voice I could hear. It’s a struggle to think of anyone who always had a smile as frequent as yours, It seemed as if you could hold it for hours, I already miss your good morning texts, your have a blessed day, your I love you bro, I really wasn’t expecting it to stop, because it was your time to go. It’s going to be hard because there is much more that I’ll miss, But the biggest thing, is that I’ll miss having you as my big sis. Love your brother Wendell

TO MY BELOVED SISTER MONA: You’re going to be greatly missed. I will miss the way I could come in your room and just talk and chill and just have a relaxing time. You were so easy to talk to. I also will miss the way you look at people with those big eyes like they were crazy. I am going to Miss that beautiful smile as well. I told my children the other day I wonder who will take care of me now. I will also miss the day’s when you would get off work and come and visit me at the back and say “sister my sister how was your day?” I am also going to miss your famous words you liked to say “I’ll be back this is really a hard pill to swallow”. Yes this is a hard pill to swallow. I was counting the days for your return home. It will be hard to replace you. There is only one Ramona. I Love always your sister Portia.

cclesiastes7:1-3 states the day of death is better than the day of birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting. For death is all our destiny. Frustration is better than laughter because a sad face is good for the heart. Today I celebrate the life of my oldest sister who was also like my mom. I got to enjoy 45 years of life with one of the most caring people I know. Mona reminds me of the scripture that says if your enemy is hungry or thirsty give them something to eat. She will do this with a smile. In fact I can’t remember Mona even saying no. She will always say don’t worry we will work something out. Always ready to give her last. Mona truly lived a selfless life and she will hear God say Well done my good and faithful servant. I will truly miss my big sister. Rest in peace. Love always your brother, Ed ( Eduardo)

TO MY SISTER: I’m blessed to call you sister I also call you friend You’ve loved me unconditionally And stood with me through thick and thin You’ve shared my joys and sorrows My laughter and my tears You’ve been my inspiration As we grew up through the years. When we were little children We laughed and played together Then growing up you stood by me Through good and stormy weather There’s something God has given us That’s more than Family He placed a love for you, my sister Deep down in the heart of me Sleep in Perfect Peace Your Brother Ancil.

Today we celebrate the home going of a faithful friend, a caring cousin a

magnificent mother, who has gone too soon. You were truly a precious gift from God, sent amongst us for a short time to grace us with your beauty, your kindness, your love, your patience, but mostly for your infectious God inspired personality. You have touched the lives and hearts of so many who were fortunate enough to come into your presence, in such a special way. Your strength and warm smile even on dark days made us realize we had an angel amongst us. Your kind caring love for your children, your family and friends will be a legacy that we will forever remember and cherish. We pledge to continue to impart this legacy to others. Now that your journey has ended, May you find peace and rest in the loving arms of our Lord and Saviour. Aunt Rosemae

Tribute To Ramona A sister is someone who loves from the heart, no matter how much you argue or have difference of opinion you cannot be drawn apart. When we were younger, you always protected me and as I grew older, we shared ideas and hung out together. We laughed together, we cried together, I spoilt your kids and you got me back and spoilt my kids. Then we got older and had our own interests. When we had time, we would try to have a girl’s night out where ‘the sisters’ would have dinner together or a show; our last outing being at the Dundas Center. The best way to show love is with time; I thought we had more time. I will miss you never ending a call with ‘goodbye’ but with ‘I love you’ You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. You gave with love. My prayer is to continue your example and hope to be as giving and loving as you were. I Love you. Sisters forever Rose

ord, how can I say thanks for the friend, counselor, mother and most importantly my adopted sister, yes, Ramona Melvise Moncur who you’ve placed in my life for such a time. Yes, she was all of that to me. Meeting Mona as she was affectionately called in 2015 at the Diabetic Research Institute was where our journey began. At the time, I didn’t have a car and asked if you didn’t mind dropping me home and you agreed. Driving home was as if we had known each other for years; an immediate friendship was formed. Mona, our time of celebrating birthdays, visiting each group member, church services and lunch dates, our time of just sitting around talking for hours, our daily Whatsap inspiration or just a “just a checking on you sunshine”. Yes, Mona, your smile will be missed, but I will cherish it. To a true friend, may your soul rest in peace. God doeth all things well. Marie Roach

RAMONA, We still can not believe you are gone. As my Mum said through her anguish and tears, ‘the life of the party is gone’. You, my Mum Theodora, Aunt Trudy and Uncle Max were a little tightly knit group…. who were so close and spent so many great times together We miss your beautiful smile, fun personality and loving ways. We miss you! You were technically their first cousin, (brother and sister’s children), but in reality, you were their sister and mine as well. You would check in with me daily, like you did with so many others, and oh boy did you love my son who you called ‘Master Daniel’ and all your family. You were special and you were indeed loved! Beautiful Ramona Moncur, I know you are in a better place and was welcomed with open arms by not only our Heavenly Father, but your father and siblings that passed before you. We treasure every memory of you. Sleep well and take your rest. Until we meet again our Sister! Love, Theodora, Maxwell, Trudy, Ormanda and Master Daniel, (Your Moncur family).

t is almost impossible to capture in a tribute to Ramona, the 40 plus years of friendship, laughter, good times and bad, love and support that we shared. I vividly remember meeting Ramona when we were teenagers through Washington Street. You were attending A.F Adderley and I was attending R.M. Bailey, however, we never allowed that to stop our growing friendship. In fact, as we discovered all the things we had in common and celebrated our differences, our friendship became stronger. We endured much of life together, from teenagers to young adults to mothers; we traveled this road called life together, and I couldn’t have chosen a better friend to share it with. We shared so much, and Ramona was like an aunt to my children and I to hers. I remember when Joe. Jr. was about 5 years old we went to Ramona’s for breakfast and she ended up making Guava Duff that day. Joe had never had guava duff before, and Mona offered him some. He replied, “no thank you I do not eat that.” Well Ramona would not let slide and she told him “if you don’t eat this duff, I won’t let you go home.” Joe quickly tasted the duff, and he loves it to this day. I would always ask Ramona about accepting the Lord as her Savior, and she would always tell me “when I accept the Lord, you will know.” The happiest day of our lives was when she said “Yes I accepted the Lord as my savior.” We talked about Jesus and how he will provide whatever we asked for. Her decision to accept the Lord as her personal savior further enriched our friendship and we went to church functions together too. Ramona always spoke her mind, and over the years she mastered doing it with a gentle tone and caring nature. She always knew what to say to turn a bad day into a good one with her witty responses and her very optimistic outlook on life. Ramona has truly given me more than I could ever repay her for. Ramona’s beautiful spirit will live on through her children, and they will always know how much she loved them. She tried with all her heart to stay for them, but God called her, and she had to go. I will miss my dear friend. Until we meet again Yvonne.
