Had to take a deep breath before I wrote, still doesn’t seem real at all hence why it’s taken me till today to write what I’ve got to say.
My days with you was with me as a young boy under the age of 12 years old, so even dough I knew your boys in my adult life I didn’t spend much time with you but what they have became made me feel like it would be nice to have a mom like you. ( of course you have the best mango tree in the Neighbourhood and me love me belly)
Been my second mums best friend ( Anty Denise) i would be the one to go from house to house with every little thing you needed between house, food ingredients, household items and many more.
All my times with you I can only remember one thing, that lovely smile, keep smiling for use and sleep well we all love you and miss you.

My tears are still flowing as I remember my friend, coworker and passenger seat driver for many years. I remember so well the years we travelled together in taxi and each morning Rattery would wait in Morant Bay until I arrive. We transitioned to my own vehicle and she became the driver who was not around the steering wheel. For the many years we work together my job was made easier because she knew everyone and everywhere in Port Morant area and beyond.
There was no task that lies in her sphere that she would not do and if she could not, she knew someone who could.
If I can put words together to describe my friend I would say she was hard working, loving, kind, courageous and selfless.
Rattery will be long remembered because of the many lives she has touched.
May her soul rest in peace.

I am still lost for words. Everytime I think of you my heart broke in a million piece. You were our unofficial towns mayor, you always know somebody who know somebody who know some body. That tells us the kind of person you were. You are an aunt to all of us kids that grew up in bottom scheme, a best friend / sister to my Mother (Suzette) and others. Miss Rattray you will be missed by us all. Rest in eternal peace.

Though I am writing this, i still can't believe you are not here with us. We are use to hearing your calm beautiful voice instead we are left with silence, quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but bit by bit, we remember not just that you died, but that you lived a full life. And that your life gave us memories way too beautiful to forget. Gone too soon.. SIP..❤❤

You were cousin, but really Auntie. You always had time for me, always talked to me. I am gonna miss you so much. You are in a better place now, no more pain.

I can’t believe I’m writing this. I was just with you, joking and laughing. Even though you were ill, your voice was still strong. You were very supportive and encouraging, with the passing of my dad. You always considered me one of your many daughters you never birth. I loved and appreciated you for that. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rest well, no more pain.

I honestly don’t know where to begin. Everytime the memories replay in my head, it makes me so sad to know that you’re truly gone. The best grandmother in the world I tell you. A great disciplinary , yet so compassionate and sincere. Spending holidays and living with you was priceless. It was a great lesson thought by a wise teacher. I always thought then , why Grandma so strict not knowing you were grooming me to be a lady of class and dignity . Looking back now , it was so worthwhile and I wish I could relive it all. But in life it’s not what you want it’s what you get. I’ve always thanked you for everything you’ve done for me , I appreciate it all.... And I’m so happy I got the chance to show my gratification. You’ll always be loved and missed. And I’ll always remember the love you showed me when I needed it ❤️ #bestchef #bestbaker #bestmom



Love Bryana ❤️

I can still remember the first time we met. All the fun times we had. The mischief we got ourselves
into, playing pranks on our teachers. Always stopping to catch up every now and then, never thinking that you would have gone so soon. Memories are for keeps. Sleep in peace Miss Ethlyn. May light perpetual shine on you.

I wasn't ready
To see you leave
I knew the possibilities
And that it was inevitable
But I'm still in total disbelief

I just wasn't ready
It was way too soon
I questioned God, the sun, stars and the moon

I wasn't ready
I know you did all you needed to do
Now that you are gone
I'm really missing you.
I miss your calls, I miss our talks under the common mango tree,
other small moments only you and I shared
are now treasured memories for me.

Thank you for making me a part of your circle, your family,
You were a mom, a friend and a confidante to me,
I admired your faith, your fearlessness despite all you went through.
You always said, "God a God!"
And I know he prepared a special place for you!
Love always

Ratttrey, you were a true friend. Never did I think that I'd be doing this so soon, that is, saying goodbye. God knows best, He knew you were suffering,though we could not see . So happy that I visited you 2 days before you transitioned into your heavenly abode.
May you rest in eternal peace.

I will miss our almost daily talks, the way you’d tell me I look beautiful one day and the next criticise my hair or something, we’d talk about everything and sometimes nothing but most of all the joy it brings you talking to and watching your grandchildren get up to all kinds of mischief, I will always make sure they remember you and know that you loved them. You were a beautiful soul and we will miss you. Love you Miss Rattery ❤️

I have know her for most of my life and can honestly say she was the most selfless lady one could ever imagine. She's a protector, friend, motivator and most dependable person I was blessed with knowing in my life time. We have lost a gem something now rear in today's existence. I pray this is really for the best and she is at his right hand because nothing else makes sense in a loss so great. Forever etched in my heart are fonds memories of your time with us, gone but forever in our hearts of hearts. Our love will find you and comfort you wherever you are.

Ms.Elvina Rattery (Rattery) you gave birth to five (5) sons but I was the daughter you never had no matter what the situation was we were always apart of each other's life. You were there for every major milestone in my life the birth of my son , my graduation. parties, my wedding. You never judged or stopped loving despite not been your daughter in law we built a unbreakable bond. But God knows best rest in peace until we meet again. I am sure the angels will love your baking and your love and compassion for others.

This community MOTHER has merely left this place to get rest after all her years of service and love for us. People like you never die, you simply transition. We all now need to set our houses in order to meet up with you again in that better place.

With utmost gratitude and love.

If kindness, love, dedication and loyalty was a person, its Elvina Rattery. You were my go to person, my adviser, my comforter when times got rocky. Treated me like a daughter. I took so much comfort in knowing that I could call you at anytime & you would pick up. I will forever miss your daily phone calls just to asked 'u good'?.
I thank God I had you in my life & I will cherish our times spent together. Sleep in peace my dearest.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

An incredible woman, who lives her life knowing that she was loved by her five sons, sisters, cousins,and friends. A mother who sacrifices everything for her sons and always willing to help others. On 14th October 2020, this world lost a beacon which can never be replaced. My love for you will never die, I will miss you but your memories will live with me forever.
Love you my candle in the wind and thanks for those years! I am what i am because of you.

Don't Cry For Me© by Deborah Garcia

October 20, 2020

Published: September 2015

Don't cry for me.
I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now,
and this is where I'll stay.

Don't cry for me.
I'm where I belong.
I want you to be happy
and try to stay strong.

Don't cry for me.
It was just my time,
but I will see you someday
on the other side.

Don't cry for me.
I am not alone.
The angels are with me
to welcome me home.

Don't cry for me,
for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone,
and Jesus took my tears.

Don't cry for me.
This is not the end.
I'll be waiting here for you
when we meet again.
