Five-year-old Adonijah Jerome, called Adoni, of Micobie, Region Eight, was laid to rest on Wednesday at the Eccles Assembly of God Church on the East Bank of Demerara. He is the youngest of 20 children who perished in the horrific fire at the female dorms on May 21. His relatives bundled together at the church where his mother frequented when she visited the city. Fond memories of the boy and the kindness he rendered to others were highlighted during the homegoming ceremony. He was remembered as a ‘loving, caring and generous’ child, according to a teacher who taught at the school.
