CONGRESSWOMAN PLASKETT OFFERS CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF SENATOR HUBERT L. FREDERICK'S MOTHER, PRIMROSE FRANCIS 

U.S. Virgin Islands — Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett released the following statement on the passing of Primrose Francis, beloved mother of Senator Hubert L. Frederick:  

"I am deeply saddened by the passing of Ms. Francis, the beloved mother of Senator Hubert L. Frederick. A mother's influence is immeasurable, and hers is evident in the strength and character of the family she leaves behind. Ms. Francis’s commitment to raising a family grounded in faith, service, and love for community values is reflected in Senator Frederick's dedication to the people of St. Croix and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

"The loss of a mother leaves a void that nothing can fill. I ask our Virgin Islands community to lift the Frederick and Francis families in prayer as they navigate this profound loss and cherish the memories of a woman who meant so much to so many. 

"On behalf of the people of the U.S. Virgin Islands, I extend my deepest sympathies to Senator Frederick, his siblings, and all who loved Ms. Francis. May her memory be a source of comfort and may the love of this community surround the family during this season of mourning."
