Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir:

Witnessing the coming together of the people of Anguilla during the recent search and rescue of Sam ‘Miracle’ Webster was a most heartfelt and inspiring happening for my wife and me.

During our stay with Ann and ‘Smitty’ Smith of Island Harbour we were blessed to be able to observe the love for one another and faith of the Anguillan community. What we witnessed was a God given miracle and a testimony to the spirit, faith, and love that the people of Anguilla have for one another. The combination of faith and the will to survive overwhelmed us. The mass gathering of the whole community at the wharf in Island Harbour, the relentless efforts of those searching for Sam, and the faith of all those standing vigil produced the miracle of his rescue.

All Anguillans should be very proud of their heritage, their community, and their love for one another. We thank you for showing us the beauty of true human faith, love, and caring.

God Bless,
Sally and Ward Clarke
