SCORES OF RELATIVES, schoolmates and other friends gathered in the Lester Vaughan School’s auditorium in St Thomas yesterday to view the body of 16-year-old student Shaquille Webster who lost his life recently while swimming off Browne’s Beach, St Michael.
Many wept and some had to be consoled as they filed past the white casket containing the body. Some people shook their heads sadly, contemplating the tragedy.
Both parents described Webster as a fun-loving boy who would be greatly missed.
Webster will be buried today in the St Thomas Parish Church graveyard after two services. The first will be held at the Lester Vaughan School’s auditorium from 9 a.m. and the second in the church, starting at midday.
Two services for Shaquille
