Deepest Sympathy To Ethley and family. To God we belong and to him shall we return xxx.

A Tribute to Mrs. Euradine Lake: It is an honour for me to stand before you as a representative of the Warner family, and also as a former member of the Zion Seventh-day Adventist church in Sandy Point, St. Kitts, the church that Mrs. Lake attended. I have known Mrs. Euradine Lake (Sister Lake as she was called) all of my life. There has been a very strong bond between our families for as long as I can remember. As a child, I visited and played with the Lake children. Some of the boys are close in age to my older siblings. We attended church together for many decades until I emigrated. We participated in every church event – Sabbath School/Church services; MV (Missionary Volunteer as it was called then); Prayer Meeting; Ingathering; crusades; Weeks of Prayer; track distribution/visitations, etc. One of my fondest memories is going caroling with her at Christmas. We even helped to build our church by gathering sand and stones from the sea side; pounding stones; mixing cement; and making blocks, etc. One of my last contacts with Sister Lake was on Mother’s Day. Whenever I spoke to Ethlie, I always inquired how she was doing – sometimes she was well, and sometimes she was not. Because of the distance between our respective homes, I was unable to visit. However, many years ago when my Mother was visiting with me in Maryland, she came to spend a weekend with us. She and my Mother were able to catch up on good times talking well into the night. Sister Lake and my Mother were like sisters; for many years they corresponded by mail. On my trips home to St. Kitts, I would call Sister Lake and allow my mother to talk to her. I learned of Sister Lake’s illness/hospitalization prior to attending Camp Meeting in June. I decided that inasmuch as I was in that region I would make the extra trip to Winchester to visit her. Upon my arrival at the hospital on June 22, I was a bit fearful not knowing what to expect. Fortunately for me, Arthur, his wife and one of his cousins were there. It was a pleasant surprise, not to mention a relief. I asked Arthur to escort me to the room as I was a little nervous. As I entered the room and saw my beloved friend, the tears began streaming. Arthur stood at one end of the bed, and I stood at the other end. He talked to her and told her that I was there to see her. I held her hand and squeezed it, with the expectation that I would get a response – but there was none. It took every ounce of energy not to bust out crying just seeing her the way she was. Over the past weeks, I kept in touch with Ethlie every few days just to get updates on her condition. Sadly, Sister Lake succumbed to her illness. God saw fit to lay her to rest. Today, I am happy to say that Mrs. Euradine Lake was a wonderful Christian, a devoted wife and mother, and a true friend. She will be truly missed by all who knew her. I look forward to the day when we can be re-united in the Earth made new, where there will be no more sin, no more pain, no more sorrow, no more parting. What a wonderful day that will be! Her strife is over; she sleeps in Jesus. Farewell, my friend. Ercille Warner & Family

Walton, I know that this is not an easy time for you and your siblings but if you focus on the good times which you have had, the pain would appear less. My sympathy to all and God bless.

Miss you Mom.

My deepest condolences to the Lake family. Take comfort in knowing your mom is with her Heavenly Father. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted (Matthew 5:4).

Dear Ethlie & Boys My prayers are with you today. I want you to know that even when life gets tough and bereavement comes our way, God is still in control. It is His everlasting arms that will hold you today and give you the strength and encouragement you need to face each new day. Psalms 34:18 - 'The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit'. Bless you all. Vikki X

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of the Lake family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I first met Aunty Euradine in 1982 on my very first visit to barbuda with my Dad. we shared a room together for a week. I have fond memories of that time and i remember it like it was yesterday. Those memories will remain with me forever. RIP Dear Aunt.

Death is a reality which we will never as human beings be able to fully accept but death is inevitable. Ethie I wish to convey my sincerest condolences to you and to the rest of the family on the passing of mom. She was indeed a strong tower but I trust that she would would have instilled in you those attributes that will enable you to cope well not just in this trying hour but going forward in the future. Continue to trust in the Father.

"When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more" are the words that adequately describe how Mrs. lake will rise to meet her loved ones as our Lord ushers her and them into time eternal with Him. Ethlie and family, may you live with the assurance that your faithfulness in caring for your loved will be rewarded with " Well done thy good and faithful servant..." May this be the reality as your mourning turns to joyous expectation of this reunion. May His peace enfold you. You are in our prayers. The Hawkins

The Lake family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
