Remembering Cousin Romania
My dear cousin Romania, I will miss you very much. You were always caring, concerned, kind and very pleasant. It troubled me deeply from the time I heard of your illness and you were always in my thoughts and prayers. I'm saddened by your passing. It's heartbreaking knowing that you are gone. Through it all, I know you are in a better place. There will be no more sorrows no more pain. Cousin Romania, you will always be remembered. May God grant you peace and eternal rest.

Romonia was a loving caring, person. She had a very pleasant personality, and was kind to everyone she came into contact with. As a cousin, she was always willing to share ideas, whether big or small. I will always remember her for her cheerful voice, and her love for flowers. May her soul have a pleasant rest in the loving arms of Christ Jesus.
May God continue to bless her three children - Edward, Lancelot and Sharon, and her two sisters = Beena and Carmaletta.
Cheryl.
I worked with Ms. Breedy during her last few years she worked with Head Start. I have missed working with her. Please except my heart felt condolences for your loss.
Loss Of A Cousin
"Cousins are usually the first friends we have as children." And this is exactly how I will always remember my dear cousin Romonia. She was always my friend. She was the one who you can talk to about every and any thing confidentially. She was the cousin who will go the extra mile just to make sure that everyone was okay. She was always the one who will keep in touch with family, irrespective of distance. Space will not permit me to write all the precious memories of my cousin but I can safely say she was a happy person. I have never seen her unhappy. Always a bright smile irrespective of what might be going on in her personal life. The only time I can recall her shedding a tear was when I went to see her in Tampa after she had suffered a stroke and could not speak. After hugging we looked at each other and she burst into tears. I knew she was saying in her mind "there is so much to talk about".
I will surely remember her laughter. I will still continue to longed for her nightly chats, especially when it was about her flower garden and preparation for Christimas; her floral arrangements and most of all her curtains.
There is no doubt that my cousin has lived a full life. I am satisfied that she is with the Lord now because she always put him first. Stay sweet my cousin until we meet again.

Farewell Cousin Romania
My dear relatives and friends, there is no way around grief only through. Matthew 5: 4, “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
Today, it’s an honour to celebrate the wonderful life of our dearest Ramana Breedy. For those of us who knew her, she would have wanted us to have a smile on our faces and to be positive because that was who she was. For my siblings and me, we knew her as Cousin Romania because that’s what we grew up hearing our aunts and uncle, from Lloyd and Carmen Syfox clan, referred to her as. They had a very close bond as they grew up together. As a child, I recalled when she visited my Granny (Carmen), she and my aunts, especially Dianne (Trixy), would spend hours talking and laughing. In my eyes they were like sisters. I recalled twice my grandmother took me to Corentyne in Berbice, Guyana as she visited Romania and while they chatted and laughed heartily, her son Eddie and I (We call each other Cuz) played outside.
As destiny would have it, when cousin Romania migrated to the British Virgin Islands in the early 90s she didn’t forget her cousins. She sent for Dianne who in return sent for other family members including my eldest sister Gwendolyn. In other words cousin Romania was our family’s “trail blazer.” It was she who led the way out of Guyana to the Virgin Islands and North America for my relatives. Cousin Romania was always fun to be around, she looked at life as a glass half full. She had a huge heart that was always kind to others and her wonderful smile comforted anxious souls around her. For those and many more reasons she remains highly respected and loved deeply.
Cousin Romania your memories will live on and celebrated through the generations, current and to come. You have certainly left a mark in my heart, and nothing will ever erase it. You have fought a good fight and you have finished the race. So farewell to you as you rest in Christ’s Eternal Peace.
