This is indeed a sad day for all of us Banabans, with three deaths at one time, and 4 injuries.

To Tanua, family and relatives, there is no way for us to express our utter sadness, helplessness and extreme grief over the loss of your sons and daughter.

May they all rest in peace!

I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of young Banaban lives and words seem inadequate to express the sadness we all feel. May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time, and my deepest condolences to the families of the 3 victims.
