Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has led the tributes for the former programme manager of the state-owned DBS radio, Shermaine Green-Browne, following her sudden death in the United States on Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Skerrit, expending \u201csincere condolences\u201d to her family, said that the veteran broadcaster was \u201ccertainly one of the best-known media voices in Dominica,\u2019 and that he was \u201cvery sad to hear of her death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShermaine Green-Browne was one of the great Dominicans, a patriotic Dominican who gave all of her life service to Dominica and Dominicans. It is written that the Lord giveth and the Lord takes away and blessed be his name.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe pray for her soul \u2026this is the fragility of life that at one point we have to die, but we never welcome death\u2026but that\u2019s the reality of life,\u201d said Skerrit, adding \u201cyou cannot speak about media, you cannot speak about communication, you cannot speak about broadcasting and certainly you cannot speak of DBS radio without speaking of Shermaine Green-Browne\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Her family said that the veteran broadcaster, who was in her 60\u2019s, died at a hospital in Miami after she had been found unconscious at the home she shared with her husband, Paul Browne, a Jamaican-born former diplomat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her son, Kyle Anthony Browne said that efforts would be made to return her body to Dominica and that the sudden death has rocked the entire family.<\/p>
