Ma Comrades, good for the Comrade Sister if she family can afford send her off in style but whats with are the people footing the bill bury yet another politician... if politicians wish bury they own then start a trust fund to foot the funeral bills - but there would be no more official funerals once demands are made on them fork up they owns coins.... Nor do we as a colony of islands require a Constitution - nor elevating select few to the status National Heroes, Royal English Sirhooods and Damehoods.

Mr. Dodo TalRussell
For your information the government assists with the funeral arrangements, they do not pay for the funeral in its entirety. Which if you knew anything a funeral cost at MINIMUM $20,000.
Furthermore as a former Cabinet minister she would have represented this country in one of the highest capacities. Also as an MP she would have represented the people of her constituency. Not to mention the other contributions she made to The Bahamas as a whole.
So you need to get down off your high horse and see that she is merely being afforded the respect and honour due to her for representing her country in the highest standard.

And sidenote, people like you who don't believe in honouring those that serve are usually the ones who haven't serve.
It's been my experience that folks like you are bitter, jealous, and lack motivation and capability so therefore you feel the need to bash those that do, because you are one of those that don't.
Furthermore, you try to pull everyone down to your low level because you have a complex of being inferior.
....get a life TalRussel because The Bahamas will continue to honour those that bring honour to our country.
