Our beloved Queen B passed away peacefully at her home this morning. HA was able to be with her. I lack the eloquence and firsthand knowledge to write an adequate obituary. Suffice to say that she was a treasure and a force, an amazing person in so many ways. Island life will be a little bit darker without her light to lead the way, but we are all richer for having lived in a world that she inhabited.
Rest in grace, B!

HA took this photo from in front of Queen B’s home a few minutes before her death.
