Another death on the island

This week Jeffrey Ngirarois died, and his family has gathered at the back of the Tinian medical clinic as they 'watch' over the body of their beloved family member until the funeral, that is scheduled for next Thursday.

Creating a small memorial at the back of the Medical clinic is also a familiar custom here on Tinian. It gives people a chance to pay their respects to the deceased, and usually provides a picture of the deceased so that we can remember them.
