“A woman of extraordinary depth.”
This is how former Government Minister and Senator Dr. Daphne Phillips-Gaskin, who died on Wednesday, was described by Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister and Leader of Government Business in the Senate Darrell Allahar as he offered condolences during Friday’s sitting of the Upper House.
“She was an academic, a nurse, a mentor, policymaker, and a patriot. Her lifelong commitment to empowering communities, uplifting women, strengthening families, and enriching the cultural fabric of our nation will forever stand as a testament to her vision and integrity. Mr. President, may we extend, on this side, condolences to her dear family, and may she rest in peace and rise in glory.”
