Prime Minister David Thompson died Saturday morning at 2:10. He died at his home in Mapps, St. Philip with his family by his side.
That is the headline news all around my country Barbados today, as our beloved leader has died from pancreatic cancer. Along with the country, he has left to mourn a wife and three daughters with whom I am personal friends with. I am saddened by his passing and I ask members of this forum to pray for his family and country which is now, for the time being, leaderless.
