Today, in this Holy Month of Ramadan. The Most Merciful Allah has called back his servant my mother (Iris Wilson). She was 102 years, having given a long innings. We are grateful. I consider my mother a steelpan activist as she was instrumental in having her yard used as a "panyard" for the original Flamingoes in the village. She was the Matriach of the famiy. (RIP Ummi)

  • Condolences to Salah and the Wilson family on the home- going of matriarch  Ms Iris Wilson.  Her century long life which  included support , growth and continuity of the culture of  the steel pan, gives us a hint of the quality, richness, strength, altruism  and more in the legacy she has left to her descendants and the lives she has touched. May Allah give you and family patience during this time of mourning.
