I met the beautiful Sister Darian during one of my visits to Miami  spend time with Sister Ivy Read, of Kingdom Builder Ministries.  Darian would come to visit with her during the week and take her to Church on Sundays. We became friends immediately.  Her warmth and caring nature was evidence of her deep love and commitment to God. She loved her family and was very proud of her children and grandchildren. She was a devoted daughter, adored her Dad  and spoke about him whenever we met, even allowed me to say hi to him in Jamaica. I believe she spoke with him almost every day. 

There are so many stories I could tell but they are too many to share so I will just share three below:

I shall never forget her delicious ackee and breadfruit.  She would cook and telephone me to say she's on her way.  Once she even came to teach me how to prepare and cook the ackee from scratch! I tried many times but mine never came anywhere close to hers. 

She knew I was a visitor to America from England, so she would on many occasions take me to Malls, supermarkets, restaurants,  drive outs, and often popping by Sister Ivy's for a chat. 

She was a kind person,  very giving. I remember she gave me two beautiful suits and a hat. So sophisticated they were, I wore one of the suits to the Lord Mayor's inauguration and the hat to our late Queen's celebrations. 

She was such a beautiful, kind, caring soul. But she was also humorous,  energetic, loved her gospel music and dancing. One night she took me to a convention in another area of the city, she got me up dancing, spinning me around, as we sung our praises to the the Lord, and when I wanted to stop she would take my hand and start again, she was full of life. These stories will live on in my memory forever. Rest in peace dear friend. 

Sister Darian's heart was a home of comfort and love for so many. I shall miss her terribly,  my visits to Miami will never be the same.
