Belver your sister’s memory will forever live on in our hearts. She touched the lives of so many, and her legacy of love and compassion will continue to inspire us.

Lean on your friends and family for support, and know that I am here for you, ready to listen and offer comfort whenever you need it.

Tamica and Wayne Grant shared

Belver loved deeply and had an unmatched kindness. We experienced her love in gifts of food, birthday, and Christmas presents, and calls to check in. When she invited persons for Christmas dinner, they left her house with Christmas presents. Belver gave freely but it was so hard to find the best gift for her! She never wanted anything. It was wonderful to be loved by her. In her love, you knew she’d show up for you.

Belver filled rooms not only because she made us want to show up for her, but also with her presence. Belver had a huge presence! She was the centre of attention. She was such an entertainer – the most enthusiastic storyteller! She brought scenes to life and took us on journeys through her memories of life in Falmouth
Belver was larger than life, she filled our hearts and our bellies. She took up such a huge space and in leaving that space she has left a large gap in our hearts and lives. She’s irreplaceable and she will be missed.

Wayne and I are saddened by Belver’s passing and our hearts mourn for Shane, Joan, Shaneal, and the rest of her family.

Scripture – Phillipians 4:8-9
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Hello Everyone, First, I’d like to thank everyone for being here to help Belver’s family and friends celebrate her extraordinary and full life. It is with immense sadness and a broken heart that I am writing my Tribute to my Phenomenal Friend Belver.
Belver and I shared an incredible friendship in Jamaica that made us inseparable until I migrated to Bermuda in 1978. However, over time we lost contact but thanks to our classmates and friends around the globe Belver and I finally reconnected in 2018 via Facebook and WhatsApp and we immediately picked up where we left off, like it was only yesterday. We remised of our times together in Jamaica, shared with each other about our lives in Bermuda and Australia as we got reacquaint once again. Shane can testified to how often Belver and I made time to constantly talked by WhatsApp and our talks were always filled with much love, laughter, great concern for each other and our families and at time we totally forgot that Australia is fifteen(+15) hours ahead of Bermuda.
In 2019 Belver and I started our plans to attend our alma mater high school Cedric Titus Annual Valentine’s Day Gala in February 2020. It was my very first time attending and as I got the opportunity to spend time with Belver travelling from New York to New Jersey, sharing a hotel room, an awesome time together as myself, Kayrine and Jackie having our in room makeover services and Diane who was Belver’s personal hair dresser, so that we could and did stepped out in Style. At the Gala we had the best night seeing all our classmates after these many years, meeting new friends as we laugh and dance the night away.
The icing on the cake was our impromptu road trip to Atlantic City with our careful driver Avril, her FUN passengers Rosalie, Charmaine, Belver and I. The video of us singing along to Beres Hammond is just so very special, one we watched over and over and over and now it means the world to us. Our time in Atlantic City was filled with us trying our luck with the slots machines, sharing a delicious lunch as we laughed and talked about the good old days in Jamaica and just life itself and of course a little shopping…Us Ladies Love to Shop!!!

It was with such sadness that we said our goodbyes but we promised to see each other again soon and that was one of the many things we always talked about, when are are going to visit each other in Bermuda and Australia. Earlier this year I promised Belver that I will visit with her and Shane in 2026 for my pre-retirement birthday. This would have been my 2nd trip to Australia and spending time with Belver and Shane this time was the highlight of my visit as we decided on the best time for me to visit definitely not in the Winter (too cold) and not in the Summer (too hot) so we can enjoy ourselves doing all the many things that Australia has to offer. Regretfully that was not in God’s Perfect Will for us.
Belver and I last WhatsApp text messages and phone call was on July 4th four(4) days before her passing. My Phenomenal Friend Belver who definitely – Gone Too Soon I am heart broken and I will cherish our last WhatsApp text messages and telephone call Forever. I am so very thankful to God for allowing me the esteemed privilege to pray with Belver and encouraged her to rest so she can be strong enough for her upcoming surgery. But that was NOT to be. Pauline a dear friend of Belver and I were making plans for my to visit to Washington, DC the 1st week of December 2024 during Shane and Belver’s exciting USA & Jamaica visits while visiting with families and friends across the USA on their way home to Jamaica, Land We Love. We made plans to visit so many places as we try to make it as memorable as possible.
A couple of weeks earlier when I spoke with Belver I told her that time is drawing close and for her to start telling her friends about her visit to Washington, DC, so that Pauline and I would have an idea how many guests to book for dinner on Saturday, December 7th, 2024. We were also planning to surprise Belver at dinner for her Belated 61st birthday. But God called Belver home to Glory.
To Shane, the Love of Belver’s Life, I know we spoke by telephone many times and I was so looking forward to finally meeingt you in person. Please know that I hope to meet you one day, only God knows where and when, but do know that I will be visiting Australia once again to visit Belver’s Grave with you as we remember her for Life!
Thank you Belver for being my Phenomenal and Faithful Friend over these many years.
Rest In Peace!
Love You!
Your Dearest Friend Winsome

Today we mourn and celebrate a truly remarkable soul, Belver, who was the heart and spirit of our Jamaican community in Australia. To each of us, Belver was more than just a friend; she was the unofficial Jamaican ambassador, a mother figure, and a beacon of warmth and hospitality that knew no bounds.

Every Jamaican in Australia knew they had a home away from home at Belver’s. Her door was always open, her kitchen always busy, and her laughter a constant melody that made every gathering unforgettable. She brought us together, from near and far, creating a family united not by blood but by shared heritage and love.

I remember the joy of seeing Belver at my send-off party when I was migrating from Australia. Her presence was a comforting reminder of the community I was leaving behind. Later, during her stopover in New York, we had an unforgettable night exploring the manhattan, capturing moments that will be cherished forever.

One of my best memories with Belver was when I made jerk lamb, and in her true no-nonsense style, she playfully chided me with, “Whey yuh a go wid dat?” Her straightforward, loving nature always shone through, making each moment with her both grounding and uplifting.

Belver was not just loving and kind; she was a pillar of strength and a source of wise counsel. Today, as we reflect on her life and legacy, let us carry forward her spirit of unity and warmth. Let’s honor her memory by living as she did—embracing everyone with open arms and a generous heart.

Belver, you may have left this world, but your spirit lives on in all of us. We thank you for the memories, the lessons, and the love. Rest well, dear friend, until we meet again.
