Minister Of Education Jacobs Expresses Heartfelt Condolences To The Family Who Lost Their Son In A Tragic Accident

GREAT BAY, Sint Maarten (DCOMM) – Minister of Education Silveria Jacobs expresses deep and heartfelt condolences to the parents and family of the young boy whose life was tragically lost in an accident on Saturday morning at the Princess Juliana International Airport.

“While it may fade from our daily thoughts after some time, such a tragedy can continue to haunt those involved for years to come Read more
