Remembering an extremely wonderful and beautiful woman known as Maria Simon/Leatham better known as Tia for Ma Enod

God has taken an angel away from the earth to place her upon heaven that she may better watch over all of those that she loves and cares for. We should all make her proud and continue with the care and love that she has always share. Love, Ann

On the block in Goodwill

The best part of growing up in Goodwill was hanging out on the block or taking a sweat on the bball court or even a win-ball cricket with imaginary boundries and yes, of course, our passion football. Between Clouds, Hoyers, Saints, and Goodwill we should have won more championships than any other team in Dominica but our ego got the best of us.
