The thanksgiving Service was held on Thursday December 22, 2011 at the St Lucy's National Shrine, Micoud to celebrate the life of Lion Belina Clifford, former Zone Chairman Zone 3B and founding member of the Micoud Lions Club.   The following tribute was delivered by the Zone Chairman, Lion Lyndell Gustave

Our Dear Heavenly Father, we are gathered here to pay our final respects to the memory of a friend and fellow Lion,

Lion Bellina, as a mortal, dedicated her life to her fellow men; patriotism to her country and service to her community  Hers was a life devoted to an industrious application of her vocation to the end, that she merited a reputation of service  Loyalty to her friends was known to all.  Here was a woman who held friendship as an end - not a means.  Hers was a philosophy which held that true friendship demanded nothing - accepting service in the spirit in which it was given.  Her every action and demeanour demonstrated her obligation as a citizen - giving unswerving loyalty by word, act and deed - she gave freely of her time, labour and means to the end.  Her every action was to render assistance to her fellowmen by giving sympathy to those in distress and to the weak and substance to the needy.

Here was a woman, whose every effort was directed towards the creation and fostering of a spirit of generous consideration for others.   She promoted and practiced the principles of good government - taking an active interest in the civic, commercial, social and oral welfare not only of her community, but also island wide.

In this out final meeting with a departing sister, we  honour her in death as we would have honoured her in life.
