Caribbean Week 2012 Bride Suddenly Passes Away

Tricialouise Gurley, the bride who exchanged vows in June with her groom at the Marry Caribbean Week fantasy wedding in Grand Central, NY, has passed away.

Gurley, Founding Board Member of the Montreal-based Youth MOVE, was 30. She passed away August 3, 2012 in her home in Montreal, Canada from an unexpected medical emergency.

Gurley married John Millard on June 6th, 2012 at New York's Vanderbilt Hall, Grand Central Station during Caribbean Week in New York. The two met on the internet in July 2011 and were selected after a contest promoted on MarryCaribbean.com. They had recently honeymooned in St. Kitts, courtesy of the Marriott Hotel and American Airlines.

She was transitioning from Baltimore, MD to Montreal. She was pursuing her Bachelor of Social Work degree.

This is a tremendous loss to the youth movement, but I look forward to those of us who learned from her, taking this knowledge and passion forward to continue to positively effect change on youth and family serving systems, the Youth MOVE National Board & Staff said in a statement.
