I would persuade her to stroll, but she was not up to it some of the time. She had been back home with us considering that final 12 months March for the reason that of the COVID, ending up her diploma. Then she started out functioning at a call centre, but I realised about a thirty day period prior to her passing that Tiffany was vomiting in the mornings. And she would say it is phlegm on her upper body. She was sensation ill and under no circumstances stated a word to us and would still go to perform,” Thompson, who shared that her partner needs weekly dialysis, said.

They required to transfer her to KPH, but they did not have any house and the very same detail at St Ann’s Bay. So she ended up at Port Antonio healthcare facility. We ended up striving to get a catheter for her, and my son had found somewhere, but then Tiffany had a seizure, and that was it,” she stated quietly.

Adhering to her March 29 passing, the family members is organizing a cremation at a date to be finalised.

Tiffany, according to CAJE, was a trouper: “She was the just one who would sew costumes make props program, immediate, and execute skits and even perform at front-of-residence.
