Grieving from the unexpected death of his mother, beloved Parang singer Susan Maicoo, Aaron Maicoo is trying to return home to be with his family.
But Aaron, a dentist in Jamaica, recently lost his passport and is unable to travel. He has been trying to get assistance from the TT High Commission in Jamaica.
In an interview with Newsday on March 24, Aaron's father Rawle said Aaron was told to return to the High Commission on March 31.
"We are appealing to anyone who can help to get him home as early as possible," Rawle pleaded.
Rawle said the family will have to hold off on funeral arrangements until Aaron can return to TT. He said their other three children, Rawle Jnr, a medical doctor based in Ireland and his wife Caitlin and their three children; daughter Jessica and her husband Larry Williams, both attorneys; and youngest son Joshua, a mechanical engineer are waiting for Aaron and his wife Danielle, a medical doctor, to return home.

Newsday sent questions to Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Amery Brown who recommended that Aaron go to the High Commission office immediately.
Maicoo, 62, died on March 23 at the Port of Spain General Hospital. She had been ailing for some time and was warded at the San Fernando General Hospital for six weeks before being discharged on March 14.
She was a former primary school teacher, and worked at the Siparia Union Presbyterian Primary school before retiring.
She was well known for her Christmas hits Trini Christmas is the Best, Dance, Dance, Dance, and Where Daisy Gone, her tribute to the late parang queen Daisy Voisin.
Arrangements are being made for burial at the Apex cemetery in her hometown of Fyzabad, after a service at Victory Tabernacle.
