Christine Hewitt to be Buried on July 16th by Brite Lite
By: Claude Mills
 Well known media personality Christine Hewitt will be buried on July 16th at a venue which is yet to be decided. The funeral services will be handled by celebrity mortician Tommy Thompson of Brite Lite Funeral Services.
"Everything must be like how Christine is, she was joyful, she didn't want anyone to mourn over her, so basically, we will be doing something nice, pretty that matches her personality. There is going to be a big ni-nite to celebrate her life, where people can come and express themselves. The ni-nite ah keep at 58-and-a half Mannings Hill Road, same place that held her father's ni-nite. We did her father's funeral as well," Tommy Thompson, chief executive officer of Brite Lite Funeral Services, told YardFlex.Com.
Hewitt, who is survived by her daughter, Tricia, three brothers, and six sisters, will be interred at Dovecot.
"The body was badly burnt, but her request was that she not be cremated so we have the mammoth task of preparing the body for burial. As you can well imagine, it will not be an open casket funeral, with a lot of portraits, projection screen images, lots of photos of her in her eventful life. It's going to be a 'semi-state' kind of funeral because she was close to heads of government. We are still trying to locate the best available venue to accommodate the thousands that are expected to be in attendance."
Hewitt was killed by unknown attackers last Thursday. Her charred remains were discovered in a Hiace minibus in the Riversdale, St. Catherine area.
Thompson said he is still upset over Christine's death because she was a close personal friend.
"I saw her a couple of days before her death, and we spoke at length...deep down, this is one funeral I didn't want to do, because it has an emotional side to it, but I have to do my job, it hard to lose a close friend...Christine is someone that once you hear her voice, mi have to laugh. We ah go all out on her funeral, trust me."
It was Brite Lite's impressive oversight of arrangements for the funeral of slain community leader Willie Haggart in May 2001, at the National Arena, that really put the fledgling funeral home on the map. He has buried such well-known figures as Donovan 'Bulbie' Bennett, businessman Eugene 'Fat Eye' Parkinson, Oliver "Bubba" Smith, Andrew 'Bunman' Hope and entertainment dancehall icon Gerald 'Bogle' Levy.

I had the good fortune and pleasure of meeting Christine Hewitt once at the airport in Montego Bay a few years ago, and being the lively person that she was, we had a conversation while witing for our respective flights to depart. I told her that I admired her and loved her programme at the time, which was "Man Talk". She replied with such a nice smile, "Ah ture, mi glad seh people still admire mi". We had a very long and animated conversation about everything. She was very intelligent, well spoken, funny, witty and well read. She made no bones about the fact that she went to one of the best all girls high school in Jamaica, Westwood High School in Trelawny and would at some time love to enter representational politics. I am in grief at her death, particularly the way she died. However, I will take solace in the fact that I met a very wonderful, bright and intelligent person. Christine - Your light will forever shine on.

DEAR DISTRAUGHT, I THINK IT IS UTTERLY DISGUSTING THAT IN YOUR COMMENTS YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS TRAGEDY HAPPENED TO CHRISTINE BECAUSE SHE KNEW THINGS ABOUT OTHERS AND THAT SHE GOT HERSELF INTO THE SITUATION. NOW MATTER WHAT SHE KNEW ABOUT OTHERS DOES NOT JUSTIFY WHAT THOSE MURDERERS DID TO HER. DO NOT TRY TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR THEM. SHE DID NOT DESERVE TO DIE LIKE THAT!
rest in peace! mi glad fi di righteous people dem a yaad! ah dem a prevent the almighty from destroy di island....memba port royal?

Christine did not deserve to die like that as a matter of fact neither does any other human being regardless of what you know or dont know. The police need to go all out to bring the killers to justice.

Christine was a determined woman, and as a Westwood student, I mourn. NOT ONLY for Ms Hewitt, but also for Jamaica. What is happening?
We need to admit to our wrongs,repent and pray for forgiveness or we will all suffer from the terrible violence and crime around us.

Christine Hewitt: a Jamaican Journalist and entertainer said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written, in June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
JESUS!!!

God doesn't kill anyone, he just allows Satan to destroy their body.. The bible says, do not fear him who can just kill your body..fear He who can kill your body and soul..
I hope that Ms. Hewitt asked for forgiveness and accepted Christ.. If not, no matter wht she did on earth will not compensate her before God's judgement.. Sadly, that is the way it is...

im sorry to know that someone had was to die in that horrible manner, no matter who the person is. but ms hewitt once said on public television that "THE BIBLE was the worst book ever" and that she did not believe in christianity. and for someone who speaks about the word of GOD in that way, it is no surprise to me the way she was taken out of the world. people remember that GOD IS NOT DEAD, HE IS SO MUCH ALIVE.

When a person denies God they have opened up any evil things. In her life she rejected God and her way of death you see that Satan had a jolly time in burning her to crisp. Hope that we all see that man does not live by bread along but by the WORD OF GOD.

Beloved:
There is no point in speculating about Christine's soul and salvation. But how about you? How about me? We do not have to fear death in any manner. We just have to be ready. Eternity is not bound by time and goes on and on forever. I would not want to spend it in a bad spot, if you know what I mean. Trust the living Lord Jesus Christ today and reap an eternal inheritance. Trust God rather than question him and he'll make it okay. Okay?
Love always, Tina (probably short for Christine or Christina, note Christ in the name) All of us were created for him and by him no matter what our name is. Therefore, we were made to be loved. When things go horribly wrong, we are to be blamed rather than God because he gave us dominion over the works of his hand and he empowers us if we would just let him and not reject him. Thanks for listening.

I feel saddened for her family cause i know they went through turmoil on the event of her passing.
No matter what though....wether ur evil or of good nature, to die in that manner is a serious tradgedy....we all have friends and family and it aint the person that dies thats feeling the pain after passing away....they are already gone...its the family members that are left behind to weep and mourn.
With a person like this that clearly showed disregard for the creator what must one think about her after life?
Things like these make you think and look into urself man.
On a different note she seemed to be on to something.....something that wouldve cause someone to loose a LOT of money....or she was just flat out hated by someone down there...this wasnt no case of mistaken ientity or ppl going after her money
Thats the only conclusion i can come to.

I am so saddened by all of the cruel and ridiculous comments made on this sight.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Christine Hewitt's family, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of the cruel people writing into this site.
The bible does NOT give you the right to judge. Being as religious as you all seem to claim to be, I would think you understand that GOD is the only judge. And until we reach heaven, will will not know if the bible truely represented what GOD intended. Like it or not, it was written by man. MAN decided what went into the bible and what was ommitted. Man decided which books to leave out, even though GOD spoke the word. Please, don't take her statements out of context. Many believe the way the bible has been used to justify murder, hate, etc is appalling. Maybe she was referring to that? Many question the contradictions in the bible. After all, these were men's interpretations of what God had to say. Many people who are very faithful to GOD believe that religion is bad. Faith is wonderful, but religion causes people like yourselves to do crazy, terrible things.
I am certain of only one thing, that God is loving. We are to be faithful and loving ourselves. He would certainly not be pleased with you associating her death with Him. I will pray for all of your souls, as well as Christines. May this wonderful woman rest in peace. GOD will know what was in her heart, and that is all that matters.

Friends,
My condolonces to the family of the deceased.
The wise man Solomon said in the book of Proverbs that "Life and death is in the power of the tongue'. Christine's death is a trgedy and we mourn with her family."
Human beings are created in the image of God and therefore what they say carries a lot of weight.
If Christine did denounce the Bible as "the worst book ever written" It stands to reason that she in essence rejected Life and embraced Death.
Jesus said The words that I speak they are spirit and they are life. It follows that the words of Christ which are a part of the "worst book ever written" were unfortunately rejected by Christine. For " 2 Tim 3:16 says For ALL scripture is Inspired (God-Breathed) and useful for teaching, rebuking, correction...so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped."
In essence man will always be judged by the words that proceeds out of their mouth. Man shall not live by bread alone but by EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.
So in essence God did not kill Christine. Chrsitine was judged by the words of her own mouth"
We must be careful not to fly in the face of God and handle is word for he has exalted His Word above His name. I am truly sorry for the way she died and hope that we all will take heed to God's word for truly IT IS THE GRATEST BOOK EVRE WRITTEN" (so called flasw and even with mans attempt to add , take awya and distort) It is the WORLD BEST SELLER OF ALL TIME..COME ON ...
EMBRACE THE WORD,,,OBEY THE WORD..LIVE THE WORD. FOR HE THAT findeth the word findeth life"
My take on it..what do you think.

TO JUST ME. To say that God had anything to do with her murder makes me raise an eyebrow in disgust. Now what kind of God would do that?! You have a perversed perception of our Christian father someone should slap u. And there are a lot of people here that have expressed the same sentiments. God is loving, he is merciful, and at the most Christine's comment would have only made him sad. Just a reminder the bible didn't just fall from heaven fresh from god's hand. Yes I agree that there are some things in the bible that i don't agree upon, but i think to myself that these were written by men, in a time where men were supreme and women were only mere possesions. If u truly did read the bible u would know what i'm talking about, so while i don't utterly believe in the bible, i believe in God.
I believe that people should believe what they want to believe, because that's their own life and their own business, and none of u here have the right to judge and condemn because as CHRISTIANS, you have the DUTY to show compassion and mercy, and to people who made negative comments about her death and linking that to religion, is disgusting.

Someone "Angel" says that she is praying for her soul. Remember once the person is dead, the soul will go either to hell/heaven(paradise), we CANNOT pray for the dead people, the prayers for the dead people will NEVER bring the dead people to heaven.

As a human with compassion, it is sad that anyone should die in such a manner.Like most of us, Christine had family and friends that loves her and mourns her death. Let us not forget what the Bible says about praying for those who procesute you and to love your brother as yourself...I don't agree with what Christine said about the Bible because it is the WORD OF GOD - inspired by GOD and wtitten by men and it's the guide to life, love and eternal happiness. I pray for the unbelievers. And who knows what went through Christine's heart at the moment of her death? Only God knows our heart and that is what he reads. I can only hope that she realized how wrong she had been, so that on the day of judegement the Lord does not say to her that He never knew her and sends her soul to hell. Remember that God is waiting for us to come to Him and He is giving us time...but time is ticking

It is indeed terrible for anyone to die in such a horrific manner. No matter what she said or how it was referenced, none of us is to judge what was truly in her heart. God is an envious God, but he is also one of Love and Compassion. So many of you Bible toting hippocrites ought to stop and remember that you have neither a heaven or hell to put anyone in. We all fall short, and none of us know what her relationship with God was...if you didn't know her personally all you got was what you saw, heard or read about. BTW...yes, I am a Christian, a Believer and one who will profess the Gospel of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Judge not, lest ye be judged (Matthew 7:1)
Luke 6:36-38 also says not to judge others so that you will not be judged...and also to forgive others that you be forgiven.
May God continue to comfort and strengthen her family as they will miss her and forever remember this loss.
