A remarkable woman has left us
Debbie Jacob - Mark Lyndersay
WE have truly lost a queen – in body, but not in spirit. The death of Sandra Des Vignes-Millington, Singing Sandra, last Thursday evoked an immeasurable amount of sadness over the passing of a strong woman and dedicated calypsonian.
In her life, Singing Sandra provided us with a musical mirror that reflected the humour and pain that defines Trinidad and Tobago. She never lost her roots; she never lost her humility.
Sandra served as a mother and role model in her community and on the calypso stage, where she demonstrated strength and success. Through her dedication to the Morvant community where she lived, Sandra showed us that everywhere in Trinidad deserves love and respect.
