On behalf of the Government and the people of The Bahamas, our deepest condolences are extended to the Government and the people of the United States of America on the passing of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee was a legendary humanitarian and legislator who devoted decades to public service, pursuing justice, and advocating for people.

I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing and proud to offer heartfelt sympathy on behalf of The Bahamas to Congresswoman Jackson-Lee’s husband, Dr. Elwyn Lee, family, and loved ones.

Prime Minister the Hon. Philip E.B. Davis and Foreign Minister the Hon. Frederick A. Mitchell have been informed and they have asked me to pass on their condolences

May her soul rest in peace.
