My deepest condolences to the Kerr Family. I grew up with Fay and the rest of her brothers and sisters in Glendevon, Jamaica. They were a model God fearing family who very kind and helpful to everyone they encountered. I remember visiting Fay and her sons in Florida and she was very hospitable to my daughter and I. I regard her as a humanitarian and child of God who will be greatly missed. May her soul rest in peace.

Alex and Omar, your mother will never be forgotten by Adrien and I. I will always remember her as being one of the most genuine people I was blessed to meet. I will forever hold her talks, words, and encounters close to my heart.
Please know we send our love during this time and always.

Our condolences to Sister Foster’s family.
For the short few years that we have known her, we were blessed by her advice, her concerns and generosity.
Truly a faithful warrior has gone to wait for that great getting up morning when she shall rise….

Hey baby sister, that’s what I often said whenever we spoke although we were not biological sisters. Her spirits of compassion, kindness and wisdom were always on display. Our last conversation one week before she passed, we chitchatted about the batch of escovitched fish she sent for me all the way from Florida to Maryland via her niece, Neisha. In addition to some attributes I have already shared, I’ll always treasure her words of spiritual upliftments and also her beautiful smiles. RIP baby sis.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Deepest condolences from Br and Sis Daley

Deepest condolences from Dr. Mark Brown and Sandra Daley Brown, Jimmy, Randy, Janet Daley Parker

Our deepest condolences to all the Kerr family. The Kerr’s family is a close knit family who are grounded in Jesus as Fay was. We have been acquainted with Esther and Lando
over forty years and if she was sweeter she had to be exceptional.
We share the joy of the blessed hope! Fay lived for the here and hereafter. We look forward to seeing her at the great getting up morning. She lived for Jesus, The
Resurrection and the Life.
May her memories be a blessing.

My deepest condolences to the Karr family. It has been years since I last saw Fay. I remembered growing up with her in the Glendevon Church. As a youth I always admired her as she walked passed my house on her way to and from church. Needless to say, I would placed myself on my verandah as she passes. If you never know her, you’ll think she is antisocial but get to know her, and she will leave a positive lasting impression. Her quite and soft tone voice/personality, and a smile that ROCK my world as a youth. When I heard of her passing, with deep feeling, I regress on the years of admiration of her. Like I said it has been years since I last seen her but she has been one of the positive pages in my life story. To her families and friends, May God riches grace and mercy comfort you. I know the pain you will experience now and moving forward but “in all this (he) sin not nor charged God foolishly” (Job 1:22). Press on until you’ll meet again.

I extend heart-felt condolences to all the Kerr Family–both immediate an extended members. Currently, finding words to express the impact of her passing is anything but easy… However, having known the Kerr family and Fay, being a youth at the Glendevon SDA Church, and living in the same city where she lived then, I can truly say, she and the whole family, lived a purpose-driven life, serving the Lord and their fellow human-beings. Fay was a part of that core value system of benevolence, encouragement, hope and strong faith.
I hadn’t seen her for many years after her migration to the USA. Then, I happened to attend a function in Florida where, I spent a part of my visit at her house. She welcomed me with open arms and her smile of long ago was still intact. The last time I spoke to her was 2019. Her smile and echo of her voice will always remain in my memory. Now, she’s just taking, maybe, a providential rest, until then…
Kerr Family, especially Orlando, Esther, Pat, Sonny and sons of Fay: Keep hope alive, be ready for the calling on that “…Great getting up morning” to meet our dear Sis Fay again. Flowers for the Master’s bouquet are being gathered day by day. Please keep your stalk trimmed and nurtured and you will truly be okay.

My sincere condolence to the Kerr family. I grew up with Fay and her families in Glendevon, Montego Bay, Jamaica. She was a masterpiece – she was brilliant/versatile/charming/humble/caring/generous/Christian oriented/and Christ-centered. She was an incredible mother, loving sister, great aunt, loving grandmother, and also a wonderful friend. She was a cheerful, fun-loving person with a positive attitude to be around. Her infectious smile and laughter could light up any room she walked into. I do not get to see her very often because she resides in another state, but whenever she is working nearby she will find the time to visit me and we attend church and I will prepared the meal of her choice. I have enjoyed the glorious times that we spend together talking about our childhood days. I can always reach out to her when I needed advices on any issues I encountered. Last, but not least at the end of our conversation she would remind me to tell my daughters to be successful in their studies. I will bless her memories with great love that will never dies and she will forever be my hero. She will be extremely missed by everyone and may her memories live on forever. Much love for her! Rest in Perfect Peace.

My heart broke as I sat in bed speechless as my husband gave me the news. She was my Sister-in law but a Sister by the law of God. Hospitable, easy going, warm, generous in spirit. She made me feel like a Sister and I will always be grateful for that feeling of belonging to a family that appreciates you. You always looked out for others… our shopping adventures were memorable! Always finding something to purchase that could be used by ‘someone’ in Jamaica. Helping someone to go to school or some project that would make their life, even their existence better.
The Pathfinders were special to her and she made sacrifices for them as if they were her children. Ever wanting to please Massah God she would prefer to walk away from any situation and be ‘done with it’ than to displease Him. You certainly were a gift to me and I embraced you with all the love I had. To all the Sisters and Brothers, to her children Alex, Omar, Lenroy, Grand baby and her extended arm Devin and Daughter in law and grand baby girl and the extended families, all the other relatives, Friends, Church Family and colleagues. May God give you courage and strength to go through this painful time. She loved God a d He loved her. Walk on my Sister, See you in the morning! (Venis Erskine Kerr…Dee)

I am deeply saddened at the passing of my dear friend Elaine. Condolences go out from my family to her family and other close friends.

I met Elaine in 1982 when we both entered Cornwall College as new teachers just returning from maternity leave. The bond was formed for that reason and because our sons were born within one week of each other and we taught in the same department.

The very first time I went to the US, I went with Elaine. Over the years I would visit her, at times with my entire family. She was very kind, always hospitable and generous. We would chat and laugh sometimes into the wee hours of the night and go shopping together especially at Ross.

The last time I saw her was at Alex’s wedding. We shared hotel room together and had fun. I remember her always reading and she worked very hard to do the best for her family.

She is missed…

Although death is a part of life, it is the most difficult to accept. During this time of grief may the Loving Lord keep the family safe and comforted.

Please accept my deepest sympathy while reflecting on the precious memories of Elaine knowing that soon and very soon we will met her never to part again. Love you all.

My condolence to the Kerr’s family on behalf of my dad Kenneth Darmand and myself.
Whatever happens we must always trust God’s heart even when we can’t see His hands.

My deepest sympathies to the Kerr’s family at this time of great loss. The Kerr’s family is like a golden thread that runs through adventism in Glendevon and West Jamaica from its core and foundation to this very day. A family of leaders and achievers, yet humble, compassionate and hospitable. My late mom did a brief employment stint with Fay and she was a dependable and generous boss. Her brief yet purposeful life is testament to the fact that with diligence and focus we can accomplish a lot, while serving God, family and our world within a short time.
To the all the family members, especially those whom I know personally- Orlando, Venis, Dr. Mutel, Sonny, Lanisha…may you find comfort in the fact that God gives rest to those who have ran their race, done their work and fought a good fight. Another saint awaiting the blessed promise. Keep faithful family!

With tears in my eyes, I want to say my deepest condolences to my family for my dear aunt who have passed away on the 9th of October. We the the family have missed a dear aunt, sister, mother, friend, in law and relative. Sleep in perfect peace my dear aunt. God has took one of his strongest soldiers, u have fought a very good battle. Your in heaven resting now sleep on my lovely aunt, u will be surely missed, gone but not forgotten always love u. S.I.P my dear aunt. Sadly missed.

My deepest condolences to the Kerr family on the passing of a sister, mother, wife, friend. In times like these the Lord is carrying you. She will be missed but rest assured that she sleeps, and one day soon death will die and we will meet our loved ones never to part again. Until then let us keep faithful.

My deepest condolences to the Foster and Kerr families. I am very sad in hearing about my friend death. We may not speak to each other’s as often as one should, but we have this bond of understanding between us, that no matter how long it takes us to get in touch with each, our friendship remains the same. Fay as I called her, is a unique person, she is kind, loving and compassionate, She is always thinking about others. She let nothing gets her down, She never gives up. She will let you know”I am not going to worry about a thing, I have a Father in Heaven who tells me, He is going to take care of me, and that’s what am going to do, let Him take care of me”. Fay is always there to give you a few words of encouragement, to enlighten your soul. She is one in a million. To the families, I want to say be strong, trust in God knowing that Fay live a remarkable wonderful life on earth, that will be remembered by many, but most of all, that life was lived for Jesus and has been written down in the book of life, and we who remain faithful and just, will be able to join her on that great resurrection morning to greet our Lord when He return. Fay is Gone but will not be forgotten. Be strong family, God will take care of you.

To Omar, Alex, Grandchildren, Sisters, Brothers and the rest of the family. My Condolences for your loss. My Sister from another mother, we have laughed, cried, carried grief and shared my joyous occasions. We used to reminisce about the life we had in Jamaica. For the last few months you have been telling me you were dying and that you made peace with your god. That was one of the hardest things I have had to hear, because even though I knew you were suffering I just couldn’t let go. You told me that if we didn’t speak again, we would meet on the other side. O death where is your victory, you were defeated at Calvary’s cross and joy will come in the morning. Rest In Peace My Beautiful Sister.

Catherine and Family

My family and I extend our deepest heart felt condolence to the Kerr’s family. We can’t find words to express how we are feeling about the passing of our beloved Fay. We have know the family for years. When our family moved to Montego Bay, we lived on the 2nd floor of their house.
The Kerr family are kind, loving, decent, humble and God fearing. My daughter, Marcia was 4 months when we moved to the house, and Fay fell in love with her the moment she saw her. When she started to talk she could not say “Fay” she told everyone she was Tay’s baby.
Fay ‘s mom was her mama.
We truly loved Fay she lived a God fearing life and did not hold any grudges. She was always quick to forgive when things go wrong. One of her favorite saying was always “I am not going to let anyone or anything stop me from seeing Massa God face”.
Whenever Fay called she wanted to know how her daughter was doing. When Marcia completed her LPN Fay encouraged her to take it a step further and pursue her RN. Fay was an advocate for “Education.”
On our numerous visits to Florida, we always had a good time with house filled with laughter.
Fay loves to travel, on her way from Vermont she stopped by the house to visit us in Pennsylvania.
She was a cheerful fun loving person. We know death is certain but this was sudden and very painful.
To Mutel, Pat, Sissy,Lando snd Sonny it is not easy loosing a love one but God will give you the strength to go on. You will never get over it but you will get through with God’ s help.
To her precious sons Omar and Alex and grandson Devin you were loved by your mother and grandmother our numerous conversations always begin you and end with you, she truly love you all.
She is gone but will never be forgotten, her memories lives on. God’s garden must be beautiful he picked the best flower. I miss her laughter our love for her and memories lives forever in our hearts. We know we shall meet her on that great triumphant morning. Sleep on beloved Fay we loved you, but Jesus loved you more.
Good bye our sweet Fay.

Lando and the rest of the Kerr family, sincere condolences to you. May the Lord give you his peace in this time of your sorrow.

My deepest condolences to the Foster and Kerr’s families. It makes me real sad to hear of my friend death. We go back a long way, and even when we don’t communicate for a while, when we do, we have this understanding between us that our friendship will remain the same as it is. Fay as I called her, was a unique individual. She was kind, loving, thoughtful and compassionate. She was always thinking about others, and is always there to give you some kind words of encouragement that uplifts your spirit. She once told me” Zoe, I don’t let any thing bothers me, I have a Father in Heaven that told me, He will take care of me, if I tell Him my needs, and that is what I do. I take my problems to Him and let Him solve them for me, and He never fails”..Fay never gives up, she is a fighter, and her faith in the Lord was very strong, she had touched so many life’s. To the families, I want to say trust in God, He will take care of you. Take comfort in knowing, if we remain faithful to the end, we will meet our dear sister and friend on that great resurrection morning. Fay is gone, but she will not be forgotten, her memories will continue to linger on. Families, put your trust in God, He will take care of you.

I had not known much about Fay, but I am sure she knew a lot about me through my adoptive Mom, Dr. Carmen Kerr. It was a sad news to hear about her passing but I had to accept since I know everything we call either good or bad comes right from the hands of God. We are lucky that we are believers. We all know that we are passing through and hope that life will be better after this evil one. Therefore, we look forward to meeting Fay on the resurrection morning and of course this will depend on having accepted Jesus as our personal Savior just before we pass on.
Please receive my heartfelt condolences and have a comfort in the Lord.

Philbert from Rwanda (the adopted son to Dr. Carmen Kerr)

My heart is saddened by the sudden passing of our dear sister Fay. My deepest condolences to my brother-in-law, Orlando, his nephews Alex and Omar and all the other members of the Kerr’s Family. Fay was a remarkable child of God, who loved the Lord and served Him joyfully. She will be greatly missed.

Sometimes in life you meet someone special who’s more than just a friend. Who you admire and love. That someone was Fay who said, “I am a sister from another mother”. The feelings was mutual. Oh! How we love ❤️ her so much. She was always there for us in the good times, and the bad times always making us laugh 🤣 at her quick quips. I cry for her still crying, but I know that as ” long as day follows night sorrow will fade, and peace will come”. She said “when we get to heaven she is going to ask God to build her mansion right next to ours”, and that will be my request also. To the family I will say, “may the good Lord bless and keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace”. He is the Comforter.

My sincere condolences to my dear sister, Dr. Ester Kerr and the rest of the family. I know how much you loved Fay and the wonderful person she was. I pray for comfort for the entire family. Weeping may last for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Like the apostle Paul, Fay has fought a good fight, she has finished the race, she has kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for her the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to her on that Day, and not to her only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

Sleep on beloved, sleep and take your rest.

I was shocked by the passing of Fay because I was not aware she was sick! I didn’t know Fay personally but I know of her and all I ever heard were good things and kind words. We cannot always understand why God allows what he does but we can rest assured in His love for Fay and all of us. I hope to see her on that great resurrection morning of the righteous ones where we will meet never to part again. So Brother Orlando and the rest of the family be comforted, it won’t be long now.

Fay was a go getter, she did not allow her hardship to prevent her from achieving her academic goal. She was determined to succeed, which she did.
Fay loved the Lord and was very active in His work, especially among young people, she was an encouragement to others. We look forward meeting her in the earth made new, never to part again, rest in peace our sister.

Come With Me (author unknown)

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
and whispered, “Come with me”

With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
and saw you fade away,
although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
a beautiful smile at rest;
God broke our hearts to prove
he only takes the best.

It’s lonesome here without you
we miss you so each day,
our lives aren’t the same
since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely,
and everything goes wrong,
we seem to hear you whisper,
“Cheer up and carry on.”

Each time we see your picture,
you seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keeping,
we’ll meet again someday.”
