Thanksgiving service for Beverley Dexter

Young Jhada Dwyer (left) is a picture of sadness as he carries the urn bearing the remains of his grandmother, renowned Jamaican soprano Beverley Dexter, from the University of the West Indies Chapel, Mona, following a thanksgiving service yesterday. He is supported by his mother Carol (Dexter’s daughter) and father Rohan. Dexter, who was married to noted choir master, Noel Dexter, suffered a heart attack and died at her St Andrew home on March 7.
