I am Marizel Ayson, mother of the late Lord Kevin Ayson Olaer, whose life was cut short in a tragic event at Maple Ridge Wharf on May 31. As my family stands together in this darkest hour, we find ourselves enveloped in vulnerability, grappling with the profound weight of loss that touches every aspect of our lives, both financially and emotionally. Yet, with deepest gratitude, I extend a heartfelt plea to compassionate hearts, that every gesture of kindness, no matter the magnitude, and every prayer, brings solace and strength, and for that, we would be eternally grateful.
