“I would like to express my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy on behalf of Special Olympics Namibia and on my own behalf on the untimely death of this Special Olympics pillar in Seychelles and ALP member who regrettably fell. On the flip-side though, she has completed her race and has covered huge acres of land in the Seychelles in planting the Special Olympics seed to grow and be harvested beyond her call of duty. She has without a doubt followed the shining example and legacy left behind be Eunice Kennedy Shriver. I am sure the late Annette Domingue has joined Eunice Kennedy Shriver where they are looking down on us and smiling at the good work done by Dr Dow, the Africa staff and all programmes.
“May her soul rest in eternal peace.”

“Special Olympics Mauritius joins with so many Special Olympics families who knew Annette Domingue in offering our deepest sympathy on her passing.  We were both shocked and saddened to hear about the sudden disappearance of the Seychelles Special Olympics legend.  After the death of Jose, Annette Domingue is the second loss of Special Olympics Africa.

“We are sure that she would want all of us to celebrate the good life that she had in the Special Olympics movement. We can all be thankful that we had her presence in our lives and continue to remember her as the great lady that she was.
“In Sympathy.”
