Tribute to Miss Iris. Miss Iris was my very good friend for many years. While living in Jamaica, she would always keep in touch with me and made sure that I am doing ok. Later she migrated to Canada and I visited her. She made sure I had a wonderful time and I really enjoyed my stay. Misss Iris was a caring and loving person. I really miss her. She is with Jesus in Heaven now. Condolence to Miss Iris family. From Ms Bate (Mavis Dookan).

As I reflect on my childhood days growing up , I can’t forget how mama Iris played an integral role in my life , She was my mother , my confidant , my adviser , my friend . she was always kind and caring to everyone who comes in contact With her , but most of all , I was privileged to have gotten so much love, as I was her next door neighbour . How can I forget the Affection she gave me , like the evenings when I am coming home from school and I am passing her house ‘she would call out to me , Gem, A leave some ackie and saltfish dinner fi you ‘ I would gladly make a U turn and receive the dinner . I will always love her, she was a Godly woman who was selfless , a blessed mother who reaches out to everyone I am blessed and my life is enriched to have had you in my life . Mama Iris epitomize the importance of true love and care , not only to her Family but to whomever she comes in contact . Mama Iris , you have served your purpose well , you are not gone , we will meet you on the other side .i never thought I would have missed This moment to pay my last respect , however , Covid 19 would not have allowed it . this will not prevent you from taking your well deserved rest . You will always be In our hearts . Your love is a blessing . Rest in peace .

A TRIBUTE TO MISS IRIS BECKFORD. It has been said before that: "In life, we always come to realize that there is a role for everyone we meet. Some will love you and some will teach you. Some will use you and some will test you. But the people who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who make you realize why life is worth living." Wherever beautiful souls have been, they always leave behind a trail of beautiful memories. This is how we know for certain that we'll never loose the people who have loved us and whom we love -- even in death, because their love leaves an incredible imprint on our memories. Our relatives and dear friends are never truly gone. Their spirits live on in the memories of those who loved them. Miss Iris, has always been my true friend-- a person I have always loved. In real life our true friends automatically become the family we choose. I have always loved you Aunt I, because although you knew my heart and my thoughts, you loved me anyway. Being chosen by you was one of the greatest moments of my life and now you have passed -- it's one of the worst moments of my life. But true friendship transcends death. The bond between real friends is beyond this mortal world. I can still feel Miss Iris with me everyday, helping me to make it through. She is by my side, and yours, forever. She will continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Memories made will never be forgotten. I am better for knowing her, better for loving her, better for having met her. And so, saying goodbye to you Aunt Iris, isn't for me. Instead, I will say that I look forward to seeing you again my friend, each time I am reminded of you. May you be as blessed in the next life, as I was in this one by knowing you. Until we meet again Aunt Iris, rest well.

My condolences to the family. Let me pause to reflect on the moments I have spent in mom’s presence. She had such an infectious smile , you couldn’t be around her with a long face. She lived a good life and I was a small part somewhere in there in which I am so grateful and for which I feel bless. May her soul Rest In Peace. May God be with and comfort the family as they celebrate an icon of a mom’s life

I did not know miss beckford while growing up but her lovely daughter my friend Doreen Solomon we walk together at May Pen Secondary. We lost contact for a while. I was working in a Beauty Supply Store in Brompton. Guess what it was a beauty to behold my friend again. In 2021 January i met and fall in love with another beautiful daughter Theresa Solomon who introduce me to her big sister on facetime so God place me as and i feel like i am one of the Sisters of your beautiful family Miss Iris may your soul RIP and your family left behind Please be Strong.
