PHILIPSBURG:--- Minister of Public Housing, Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure (Ministry VROMI) Hon. Maurice Lake expresses deepest sympathy to the family of Calypso Barbara Nesbitt who passed away on Monday.

"Calypso Barbara has not only contributed to Sint Maarten, but also to the youngsters of St. Peters including myself. She taught us how to dream and bring out our talents as youngsters in the St. Peters community.

"In reflecting back to basics, I always remember where I came from as a child and the principles I was brought up with by our seniors within the St. Peters/Marigot Hill community.

"Our seniors always instilled in us pride, respect for each other and together as a community. That is also the message that Calypso Barbara brought across in her teachings to us as youngsters. May her soul rest in peace, and her legacy continues to live on in our community," Minister Hon. Maurice Lake said on Tuesday.
