Adelma Penn the Newest Adventist Attorney-at-Law,

After successfully passing her bar exam on Monday, June 25, 2007, Adelma Penn officially became an attorney in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.   She gives special thanks to all her friends and the church family for their prayers.  She is an active member of the Maranatha Seventh-day Adventist Church.     In her own words:  “It was only Jesus that brought me through because I did not have adequate time to prepare.  As a mater of fact on the first exam, I could not start; I cried for nearly one hour and had to leave the exam room.  Thank God for the encouragement of the invigilator who made me go back to write the exam.  She told me that I needed to get over that hurdle now, or it could be more difficult later on.  I was able to write that exam in two hours instead of three.  To God be the Glory, great things he has done.”   Adelma is a registered dietitian and has worked for the Public Hospital Authority at the Princess Margaret Hospital for many years and also served as Director of Food and Nutrition for the Ministry of Health.   Congratulations Adelma Penn

 

 

In loving memory of Albert Clarke, Sr.
June 27, 2007
 
Seventy-nine years of living.
Seventy-nine years of loving.
Countless years of building--generations unending.
The glue and patriarch of our family he was.
His memories live on--beyond his death.
Faithful to his beliefs until his last breath
A wiser man we've never met.
A husband, father, grandfather and friend to many.
He left his mark on our hearts and our teary eyes.
We miss a husband and a special dad. May his memories live on

Died June 27, 2004
