I call upon Your perfect wisdom to guide everything to ensure the complete safety and protection of my loved one. Please take my fearful thoughts from me and heal them for me.

I’m willing to trust that Your love ensures our safety and well-being, and there is nothing to fear. In the presence of Your light, there is no darkness. No one can be harmed, threatened or in danger when they are surrounded by the light and protection of Your love.

Please take my fears and replace them with Your certainty of a peaceful outcome. I place my loved one in Your capable hands and trust, with all my heart, that they are safe and secure. Thank You, in advance, for their safe and immediate return. Thy will be done.

Amen

The power of social media has proved useful in the efforts to try and locate her as now family members are able to narrow the search area. “I think I saw this lady walking the toll highway heading toward old harbor….she caught my attention because i didn’t see any houses closeby,” wrote a user in the comment section below a post on Dear Dreams, a popular Jamaican Blog platform.

Another chimed in, “I am almost certain I saw this lady walking pass Ferry yesterday about 4-4:30pm… She was heading into the direction of Spanish Town. The person I saw, had already pass the bridge out of Ferry walking alone, dressed in dark clothing, I think the top was black…”

While there has not been a confirmation of her exact medical condition, persons have speculated that she is currently suffering from a type of dementia.

According to The World Health Organization, “dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in memory, thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday activities.”
