I first met Jennifer Samuda in the early 1980s. I was then working with my grandparents’ real estate company and she was their main contact person at the Royal Bank Crossroads branch where I would do business on their behalf. I was always happy for her business success. She died of cancer on February 22 in Florida and her memorial service was held here in Jamaica on March 18.

I remember going to her for the treatment of Acne when she had her business in Queensborough and this would have been on a monthly basis. This is where I first learned about the Neutrogena which everyone is raving about at this late stage of the game of skin care treatment. Jennifer Samuda new her stuff and was able to advise many of her clients on the does and don’t of skin care. She will be truly missed as a pioneer in the business of skin care treatment.
