I was saddened to hear of the death of Mother Webster. I have enjoyed time of fellowship with her as we travelled the Connection doing the Lord's business and sharing constantly with her on the telephone in my every effort to reach Bishop Webster. The family of Heard Chapel AME Church , Bermuda joins with me and the Santucci family in these expressions. Our prayer is that the God of all comfort will be with the Bishop, his family and District family as we celebrate Mother Websters life and contribution across the Connection.

All of us, fellow travellers as cousins in life's journey will sadly miss, but always relish our time on this Earth with our cousin Carol. Like her father and mother before her she knew well and had the same assurance which we all have. She knew that "if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens" (II Corinthians 5:1)
