Family of the late Sgt. 1475 Wayne Rolle sends message to the community - Jan 6, 2015 - 10:48:41 PM
The family of the late Sgt. 1475 Wayne Rolle would like to
express our profound gratitude for the support and prayers given to the family
during his recent passing. His tragic
death sent shock waves through our family, his colleagues, friends, and
community. We all know and appreciate
that in life, death is certain; however, we never expected our loved one to be
a murder statistic. The way he died was
senseless and cruel and is particularly difficult for his three children, who
still grapple and will continue to grapple with this tragedy in the weeks,
months, and years ahead...

I rise on this very sad
occasion to bring words of condolences on behalf of the Minister of
Health, Honorable Dr. Perry Gomez, the Public Hospitals Authority,
Institutions, agencies and the entire Healthcare Family in the
Commonwealth of the Bahamas. As well as, My wife and I, and particularly
those of us who had the privilege to have worked with Frahkan. He could
be aptly described simply as a positive professional gentleman.
It
was in 1998 when his mother Mrs. Flossie Cooper approached me and
said:- "Dr. Beneby, My eldest son who was now out of school was working
part-time at a Supermarket, and he was seeking long term employment,
would I consider him for a position in the Anesthetic Department
(Working along with the physician Anesthesiologists in the operating
