May the souls of the ancestors, rest in peace.
May the souls of the Africans in Guiana, who fought against the Europeans for self-determination, rest in peace?
May the souls of all Africans who were killed and or wounded by Europeans everywhere but especially those who were violated on the East Coast of Demerara, rest in peace.
May the souls of the farmers, rest in peace.
May the souls of the leaders the villages, from November 18, 1839 until the end of the first half of the twentieth century, rest in peace.
May the souls of all who were denied social justice, rest in peace.
May the souls of all who attempted to eradicate prejudice, and racism rest in peace?
May the souls of the teachers, particularly the Primary School teachers, until July 1973, rest in peace?
May the present crop really begin to represent the people over political entities and thus witness meaningful changes?
Above all, good people, we, must never forget Daniel Thomas Adolphus Jones, James Alfred Trotman, Donald Ashley Bevel Trotman, Carlton Patton Browne Melbourne, Tappin Johnson Elliott, Leopold Duncan Sarrabo, George Cocksfield, Joseph A. Parkinson, Alexander Simon, and Nathaniel Maison, and all those who made efforts to improve the conditions of life in our community. The people who advocated and lived for community development of Golden Grove, Nabaclis and Haslington district.
Living in truth and walking in the light of the previous generations of our adopted ancestral home, is the motivation for the aforementioned thoughts.
