      Sorry to learn of the death of this individual. As the saying goes, who don't hear will feel. For years they taking this mold thing to be a joke. Well let the big wigs carry on. Unfortunately, this will be the case until they can face reality and deal with the situation at hand.

      Does one need a rocket scientist to determine that mold is present? How do you know if you have a mold problem? Large mold infestations can usually be seen or smelled. Go figure!

            True, you have "truth" coming to you one of these days, so stop there making mockery. Every Knee Shall bow and every tongue WILL confess that there is indeed a living God....and that Jesus Christ is Lord. Stop deh!!

        Don't let internet trolls upset you. I'm sure it wasn't personal. Dwaine touched many lives and I'm sure that his family, friends and coworkers appreciate your kind words during this difficult time.

    RIP Mr. Rawlings. May God keep your soul at rest. Mr. Rawlings was an excellent BVI Airport security/ night watchman. Like many of us in this country it is a shame he had to work to jobs just to survive and give his family the best chance. The Airport has lost a real soilder too! RIP.
