Happy Birthday to Jasmine Kerr Rivas, the grand-daughter of Birty and Ann Kerr of Crooked Tree Village. Also, I would like to congratulate her and Andrew Neal, both of Belizean heritage, for their outstanding job at school. They were selected as two of 10 students from participating Alliance High Schools in Los Angeles, California to visit the White House on February 18, 2010. Their trip included meeting the President and First Lady, attending a concert at the White House sponsored by the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles in honor of music from the civil rights era, and a visit to the United States Congress. Congratulations Jas, we love you!!! Your mom |

Gregory: I can't believe you're really gone. It's hard to accept, even after so long. Your cousins miss you dearly, and talk about all the good times you guys have had. I tell them that you will always be in their hearts, but most importantly, you will be the guardian angel that watches over them. You are gone - but not forgotten. Novian-Julian-Jalen |

I'm so looking forward to the reunion next year. Here's hoping that the negativity gets put to better use than using it to hurt others. Good luck to Linda and the committee members because we don't even know all the hard work and effort they put into this. It's so easy for people to try and find fault in the efforts instead of trying to work together and help your fellow man or woman in this case. I'm hoping this time around there is less unwillingness to promote and praise and big up the hard work being put in. No one can put you down if you don't allow them to. Have a negativity filter around you at all times and don't let it discourage you. I appreciate you and all that you guys are doing. Keep up the good work!!! |

This month, Feb 15th makes 6 yrs since my beloved nephew Gregory John Gabriel left this world to be with his maker. Gregory was only 12 years when he was gunned down in Los Angeles innocently. Justice was served as his killer was sentenced to death. Divine love and blessings for his soul in the realms of our almighty. Sadly missed by his god mother and aunt, Laura Crawford |

Oh my G-d, he was at the reunion!! My tears are flowing! My heart is so sad, I did not get to meet my nephew. We do foolish things in life, but there is no excuse in not getting to know your family.
If I had the last day to live, what would I be grateful for? Not the success in my life! It's for family in the past and the present, my friends and my health. Carolyn, thank you very much and I love you!! Every minute we should make every moment count, every breath is a gift of G-d. Linda Crawford |

AS WE LOOK BACK by Carolyn Crawford: FOR MY BROTHER JERMAINE 'SANJAY' TRAPP WHO WAS GUNNED DOWN OVER A YEAR AGO! AS WE LOOK BACK SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE, WE FIND OURSELVES STILL HOLDING ON, DID WE REMEMBER TO THANK YOU ENOUGH? FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGING WORDS YOU HAVE GIVEN TO US? FOR ALL THE TIMES WE LAUGHED AND CARED NOW IN A WORLD WITHOUT YOU THAT IS SO BARE, TO HELP AND PUSH US TO OUR GOALS TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD HAS A DEEPER SOUL, TO ACCEPT LIFE CHALLENGES AND SUCCESS, TO KNOW THAT WE DID OUR BEST, FOR TEACHING US TO GET ALONG, THE VALUE OF HARD WORK, GOOD JUDGEMENT AND THE ABILITY TO STAY STRONG. WE WONDER IF WE EVER THANKED YOU MUCH, FOR ALL THE SACRFIFICES YOU MADE, FOR THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE, TO KNOW YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY WITH STRIFE, IF WE HAVE FORGOTTEN TO SHOW YOU LOVE, JUST KNOW WE ARE PRAISING YOU ABOVE, AND WE ARE HOPING YOU KNEW ALL ALONG, JUST HOW MUCH YOU MEANT SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE. |

They had it much later than usual, unconform report from the person incharge stated that they made, would you believe this, one dollar profit, I am not kidding. The meeting was held months later to report it. | |||

Hello Michael, you want to know why we can't get our road fixed? Because our government is nothing but a pack of gangs. And I mean both parties, they all enter politics to get rich from the resources of the Belizean people. And I'm not forgetting our arear representative that built a road over the back lagoon for a handful of farmers, four or five to be exact. A road that will only damage the environment. I would like to ask our area rep; Where is the rest of the money that "Was Not" spent on the Blackburn Road? Politicians in Belize are crooks and criminals!! GW |

I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my cousin Murvin “Murry” Sylvester Crawford. Mur, thank you for being, first of all, YOU! A year ago you had to face some challenges and you endured. Even when the outlook seemed bleak and you didn’t know what was coming next, you moved forward. You never give up!! Let me tell you, none of us give thought to the truck that you drive down our highways every day. You are a professional truck driver, and we owe a great deal of “thank yous” to you, and all the truck drivers that make those deliveries all across America. It is more than just driving a truck; you and all the professional drivers are responsible for a great deal of the food on my table tonight. Thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your diligence and bravery! I appreciate you very much, and all your hard work and dedication to family. You are one of a kind!! |

I am Tricia Jones the daughter of Landy Jones. I just want to say on behalf of my mom Rosita Jones, my sister Ivy Jones and my brother Landy Jones Jr. that we loved and miss our Uncle Vincent a lot. We use to stay at his home whenever we visited Crooked Tree. As humbled as their home was, it always felt like a palace. All the good food my Aunt Magret made. Just a couple of weeks ago I visited Ramona in Chicago and we remebered the wonderfull time we had when we were in Crooked Tree. He just made us laugh all the time with his crazy jokes. I last saw my uncle when he visited me in Los Angeles and as usual always would tell me that I was his favorite niece. I know he tell all of his niece the same thing, but that was my Uncle Vincent for you. He always wanted everyone to feel special. I know all his family and friends were special to him and he showed it everytime you are around him. I love and will miss him daily for he will remain alive in my heart. Love to all my cousins and Aunt Margaret, especially Ramona, Hank and Adelita... Much Love!! Tricia Jones Logan |

My sympathies goes out to the Tillett family on the passing of my cousin "Uncle Dan". Dan was partly raised by my parents and he and Rudy grew up as brothers. Dan loved to read his books especially western. Whenever he is in Crooked Tree you could always find him in house reading. My sympathy goes especially to Miss Molly who was always at his side, to Jessie Tillett Crawford and her family and to Donald Jr. "Bleedy" and his family. To Chad and Ron who loved spending time with their grand-father at the camp. After his stroke he was never the same and I pray that you find comfort knowing that he is in a better place now where there is no more pain and suffering. Uncle Dan may you rest in peace. Lou and family |

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Bredda. My family has been praying for him since we heard he was sick. I know that we all must die one day, but still it is hard to let go of those we love and spend so much of our lives with. Ms. Margaret, may you find strength in your family and especially the Lord. May you also find peace with time! I know how much you will miss Bredda. Love and prayers! Linda Crawford Elul |

My condolences goes out to the family of Vincent "Bredda" Jones. Miss Megs if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't know that Bredda name was Vincent. When we were small everyone called him Bredda and you were the only one that called him Vincent. My prayers goes out to you and your family in this difficult time. Louise |

| This morning my uncle, Donald Tillett Sr. passed away, he had a stroke and he never recovered. Dan, as he was known by most people live a simple life as a farmer; he was very personal, but to know him, he was a fun guy to be around. One thing I admired about him, he enjoyed the company of himself. | |||

| I just came back from our beautiful Crooked Tree, the rainy season had started, it is like living in the stone age, so many pot holes, they became mini lagoons.The sadest part of it, our people continued to suffer in silence, no one seems to care. For many, many years our village suffered from lack of good leadership or no leadership. At present we have a chairman in name only and Castro and his cronies are no where in site. | |||

| On 7.10.09 Supreme court judge Awich awarded three Belizeans $420,000 in damages against Zabaneh banana farm for union busting, it was a land mark decision for Belize. It was shameful, the evidence showed that in June 2001 after these six men were fired, Samuels [ex immigration minister] sign a deportation order for them even though 3 were Belizeans and 3 were legal residents, Musa cancelled the order. | |||

Today I woke up And said a prayer for you I prayed that you'd forgive me For all the stupid things I do I prayed for a love to find you A love so pure and true A love that will never die Like the love I feel for you I said a prayer for the ones you love And the ones that love you I prayed that you'd see the sky In all it's beautiful blue A prayer in my mind A prayer in the air A prayer soaring up without a care I made up my mind to say a prayer Each and every day A prayer that you'd find happiness in every single way. |

To all the fathers out there; HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! :) What Makes a Dad God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it ...

Deepest sympathy goes out to the Tillett & Perriott family for the lost of Mr. Henry Tillett, especially my kids for the lost of their grandfather. Mr. Henry was very good to me. I am sorry that he is not going to be there when I get back home, but he is in a much better place right now. So, Mr. Henry please do me a favor and take good care of my little boy, Patrick Henry for me. And until we meet again, may you rest in peace. Lost but never forgotten Bevy |

It hurts so bad that I could'nt be there, but i'm there in spirit. My only comfort in loosing you grandpa is knowing that you are now with my beautiful grandmother Grace after 26 years. |

It is with deep sadness I write these few lines on the passing of Henry Tillett my closest neighbour. I remember big boy from I was a kid big, strong, powerful! Love to smile and enjoy a joke. I spoke to him less than a month ago, I was move to see how sick he was and how much he was suffering. It hurts to see so much off our love ones suffer in silence, it goes a long way to make a phone call, send a care package, a few bucks. Elvis Tillett |

Words can not explain how deeply sad it is to know that Grandpa Henry is not with us any longer. You were taken from us so suddenly. You're probably up there in heaven dancing with Granny Grace, Grandma Bunsy, Russell, Aunt Liz, and Uncle James. To my family, we have to stay strong and know that he is in a better place now. I used to always worry about you Grandpa, but now I don't because I know now that you are safe in God's hands. Now you're at peace, on the wings of the angels. Grandpa, may the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sunshine warm upon your face And the rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you in the hollow of his hands R.I.P Grandpa I miss you so much Love always & forever Sherie Tillett xoxoxox |

| The Perriott family would like to convey our heartfelt condolences to the Tillett family on the loss of our dear cousin Mr Henry. Keep in mind my family that the God of all comforts is near to those that are broken at heart. Grief is the normal and natural response to the loss of someone we love. Grief is said to be a necessary part of the healing process and of learning to adapt to your loss. There is an empty space where before there was a living person. You need to adjust to life without that person. Grief may provide a necessary emotional release. Stay close to each other comfort each other and always remember The God of all comforts will give you the courage and the strength to cope. We all know he will be missed greatly and also contented to know that he is not in pain. Our prayers and love to all the family. Love The Perriott's Family. | |||

I returned from our beautiful village after a months vacation; it is with deep sadness and disappointment that I report the water project and the road to the main highway is dead for this dry season. All the pipes for the water system is in the chairman's yard eroding. I asked the person who is in charge of our village for the last forty years what's up with the water system, he doesn't have a clue, which is sad. Elvis Tillett |

I am thankful for every little thing you have done for me over the years, big and small, because without you I would not even be close to the person I am today! Know that I am living my life with the values you have imparted me-- kindness, perseverence, generosity, and action to help those around me.Because of you, I have the courage to fight for what I want in life, and have become a determined woman. You have always supported my dreams, as crazy as they are sometimes (!), and I can only hope that I will one day be half the mother, sister, aunt, and all around good person that you are! I love you Mommy, Aunts, and big up to women working hard everywhere! | |||

My condolences to Alda Rose Jones and her family for the loss of her son, Shayne Warren Gillett. May G-d give you the strength and the insight born of faith. When we lose one who is dear, we mourn, but we must not mourn excessively. We must be grateful for what we had and find comfort in memories. Alda, you may find the road ahead lonely, or you may dread tomorrow without that voice or smile that you are familiar with, but G-d will give you the courage to continue. May G-d remember the soul of Shayne Warren Gillett Linda Crawford Elul |

My sympathy goes to Alda and her family for the lost of her son Shane. Like Johnny I did not get the opportunity to meet him. We all grew up in Crooked Tree so we feel the pain for each other when one of us loses a loved one. I understand through my brother Murry that he was a nice and quiet young man who loved his mother very much. I pray that you will find comfort in the days ahead and that you and your lovely daughters will be there for each other. May Shane rest in peace. Louise |

I am so saddened to hear about the untimely death of Shane , a young man in the prime of his youth. I was not privileged to meet him personally , but I happened to know of him through his Grand-father the Late Alvan Luthrel Gillett, who meant so much to him. Shane is a close relative of mine whom I would have loved to meet, but the Lord had other plans for him and prepared a place for him , so that where he is , he can be also. My heart goes out to the entire family and especially Alda; comfort your heart to know that the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. God's divine power will be with the Family in this time of bereavement and always. Sincerely, John A. Gillett |

I was reading and looking at some pictures of Vice President Biden recent trip to Central America. It appears that all the leaders are only interested in posing for the cameras with him. President Obama will be going to Trinidad soon to attend the Summit of the Americas, I urge Prime Minister Barrow to do more than photo- op; try to secure assistance to help with our deportees. They are a major factor in our high crime rate; we need to do more for them. |

Hi Linda: The TV, the Internet and cell phones takes you into the ever instant-present. The world's rapidly changing scene can create shifts in your outlook you never truly expected and don't quite understand. All this week it seems that we were bombarded with terms like Ponzi scheme, bank bail-outs, jobs losses, recession, depression, etc... it seems hopeless. I am a frequent visitor to this Web-site and lately it seems that no one was visiting. I watched the numbers and it wasn't until yesterday that I saw a spike in visitors. When I got your e-mail I hurriedly check the Website. It was all the pictures!!! Thanks for taking the time to create the album of our "Brilliant Cricket Team"; it took us into another world! Looking at the young men on the team was wonderful; I would never have known some of them if you did not include the family history. Thanks for bringing us something to escape the sad stories of the economy. Our children and grand-children are learning a great deal about our history and culture in Belize. I would also like to thank Jane Crawford and Dean Tillett for the "force" behind all those beautiful pictures. Go Brilliant!! You are indeed, "A force to reckon with" Louise Crawford |

Today, February 15, 2009 will be 5 years since my beautiful nephew, Gregory John Gabriel went to heaven to be with the Lord. God called him home because he needed more angel up there. There's not a day goes by that I don't think of him, death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Each time I see a young boy his age, I'm overcome by grief, and especially to think that Gregory would have been getting ready to graduate from high school this year. As long as I can, I will pray for his mother, my sister, Ella and my brother-in law, Greg; I will laugh and sing with them and accept the things that we don't want to accept, but God has other plans for him. Gregory, I know you are not alone, you have your grand-parents rejoicing with you. My love for you is unable to die. Aunt Laura |

Elvis, I agree with you 100%, no representative ever think of the causeway and the road into Crooked Tree. Crooked Tree Village is promoted very heavily in all government magazines as a top tourist destination. Why do we have one of the worst road in Belize? Can they tell us how they spent the $4 million that was approved for Crooked Tree last year? All these elected officials want is to get elected, and after the election, it's all for themselves. There is nothing in Crooked Tree for them to make money from!! Laura Crawford |

| Can someone explain to me like I am a two year old, and don't we as people of Crooked Tree Village deserve an explaination about the status of the Black Burn project. That project was dead from the start, it is a no brainer. It was obvious that the biggest supports of the project had hidden agenda. As to the area representative, he is just another one of those no class politicians we are good at electing. We could have spend that money towards paving the road from the junction. | |||

To my beautiful grand daughter Jaleesa Leslie who lives in Orlando, Florida; I love you and your new sis Meleesa very much. Jalessa, keep up the good work on your tennis practice. You are so great at six years old; you have no match at your age, playing against ten and twelve year old's and beating them like there's no tomorrow. Also, to my other wonderful and beautiful grand-daughter Tiffany Leslie, who lives in Texas, celebrating her 11th birthday. I love you and miss very much; hoping you have a wonderful birthday. May God be with you always. Love, Nana |

Happy Birthday to my beloved brothers, Ronald Crawford and Kevin "Cutty" Tucker. First, Ronald: I know that this is a trying time for you after the untimely death of your son Sanjay, but just put your trust in the Lord and he will see you through. We love you and keep the faith! Kevin, I'm a little late, but isn't it better late than never? Thanks to modern medicine, you have reached your ??, what number again? Don't worry, as they say, growing old is mandatory. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOTH OF YOU and MUCH LOVE!!! Your sis, Laura Crawford |

Hello all, I was home [Crooked Tree Village] for the New Year, I've been going home every three months for many years now , and this is the worst I have ever seen the road from the junction and the road inside the Village. My people wake up, all the Villages in the rural have pave road and Crooked Tree, with less than two miles of road is still waiting .Politicians comes to us in election times and make promises, but at the end of the day ,all of them are liars and crooks. Shame on them!!! Elvis A. Tillett |
