Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • If this is the same Dr. Hubert Young who attended to me as a child, whose home and private practice was next to ours in Calcutta Street St. James then I am truly saddened, and send my condolences to his family. I am saddened, because if this is indeed him I was searching for a contact for him for years to tell him thank you for saving my life, thank you for being kind, generous and opening up your home even if it was for a few minutes so that I could have embraced a moment of peace. - Posted by: Sherna Alexander Benjamin () on: Jul 18, 2015
