Lystra and I worked for many years at the TD call centre. We both shared the same birthday and would always send a birthday greeting to each other even when we no longer worked together. I always knew she would never forget. We would swap horoscope e mails on what the year held for us and we would banter back and forth.I will always remenber Lystra fondly and especially on December 21st. I am so sorry for her familys loss. RIP Lystra!

My Heartfelt Sympathy goes out to Lystra's Daughter, Giselle; her Father and her Brother Dave. I know Lystra since we were Children - her Maternal Aunt, Yvonne Williams and my Mother, Cecilia Alleyne-Valentine, both Taught at Malick Girls' R.C. Primary School at the same time. Lystra's Aunt taught me how to KNIT so I was always at her Grandparents' Home in Petit Bourg. Lystra and I next met when we both passed the Common Entrance Examination and entered Holy Name Convent, P.O.S. on Monday, January 10, 1963. We belong to the Graduating Class of 1968. Those 5 years brought us even closer; both our Families lived in Woodbrook then. Time! We Give ThAnks for Lystra's Life. May Her Ancestors come to Greet and Meet Her to take Her Safely Back Home. On behalf of Myself and My Family, I extend Condolences to Giselle, Lystra's Brother Dave and her Father Mr. Pierre.

To the Pierre/Donawa families. We pray the love of God enfolds you during this difficult time. May your many good memories of Lystra sustain you for the rest of your life. I was fortunate to go to primary school with Lystra @ St.Theresa's (Woodbrook) where we sang together in the school choir, especially @ Independence Inauguration. We also worked together @ T.D.Canada Trust (Markham)for many,many years. The exact moment we actually made contact stands out for me, because we were working on the same floor and did not know that. What a joyous occasion! That exact smile up above is what we all looked forward to whenever we met up with you Lystra. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
