Jenna Suzanne Morris
Jenna died on the 28th December 2003 when the car she was a passenger in lost control and crashed.
Jenna died just 19 days after her dad died on the 9th of December 2003.
Jenna was born in Perth on the 12th March 1989, the youngest daughter of Brian and Marie and sister
to Samantha,now 22, & Jilly,now aged 20.
As a baby Jenna had medical problems and was in and out of hospital during her childhood, but this
caused her no difficulties later on and she grew up to be a fit and healthy girl, who was always
good at sports. From a very young age, she was a real chatterbox too and she certainly had her
naughty moments. Her speciality, consisted of nipping her big sisters, then bursting into tears and
running to her Dad to say that they had hit her!
Most of Jenna’s childhood was spent in Stanley where the three of them grew up playing outdoors,
fighting and falling out with each other! They went to Primary school in Stanley and Jenna loved it,
excelling at sports in particular.
After Primary school, Jenna attended Perth Academy and although she hated maths, she enjoyed, and
did well in lots of other subjects, including Biology, History and Modern Studies. Mind you, if i am
to be honest, she did go through a phase of skiving off too. Samantha once caught her in town with
her pals when she should have been at school and played hell with her – that was until it was
pointed out that she was skiving off too! Jenna seemed to have put all of that behind her latterly
though and she was working hard at school. She gained a clutch of Gold Awards and Certificates of
Merit in various subjects and got her Young Achievers Award in 2001 too. Her last report in S3 was a
really good one. Perth Academy now has a new trophy awarded for \"Outstanding Citizenship\" in
Jenna\'s memory.
In her spare time, Jenna was really into sports in a big way. For 3 or 4 years, she and her sisters
went to the Perth City Swimming Club every Friday night and she achieved her Gold Award for
swimming. She also played hockey and tennis for a while too and she tried curling and ice skating,
where she was a natural. With Jenna, there was none of that clinging to the edge and falling on your
bum every time you tried to move! The first time out, she was whizzing round the rink as if she’d
been on the ice for years.
She was also into Kick Boxing and had been going along to the Tulloch Institute for about 4 years
– ever since she’d seen Aly McBeal kick boxing on tv in fact! She was pretty good at it – she
had her purple tag and had various certificates, trophies and medals. She had a damn good punch too
and in her time, floored quite a few people. She even broke some one\'s ribs once and yes, it was a
guy!.
Jenna certainly had determination in bucket loads and this showed once during a competition, when
she was stopped because she had a nose bleed. She was told to wait until she was ready to continue,
but her response was instant - typically, she just wiped her bloody nose on her sleeve, took up her
stance again and defiantly said “I’m ready!
Cadets had become a huge part of her life. Ever since Samantha had joined, Jenna was desperate to
get in and she joined as soon as she was twelve. And to say that she gave it her all is a bit of an
understatement. When she went for her Half Star exam, she came out as the top recruit and she was
top again in her One Star exam, which covered map and compass, drill, shooting, turn out and kit and
general attitude. She was promoted to Lance Corporal in May 2002 and in the summer of that year,
attended an annual camp for military skills training. Her team came second in competition against
fifty odd other teams from the whole battalion and I think she was really pleased with the fact that
they were all girls. In December 2002 she won a trophy for best junior NCO and she was then runner
up in her Two Star exam in April. Shortly after that she was awarded the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh
and she was promoted to Corporal in the summer time too.
In September she had been for the SETC national competition for military skills and she was also
part of a team that took part in a national first aid competition at Sandhurst. She practised for
ages for that one and I think had every cuddly toy in the house bandaged to within an inch of their
lives! Her team came 7th out of 18, which was the best Scotland had ever achieved.A first aid trophy
is now presented annually to the best local detatchment in her memory.
Jenna also played hockey for the Cadets and won her ACF sports colours for athletics too. And that
long list of achievements is probably only the half of it! She was serious about Cadets and would
spend hours bulling her boots and making sure that the tramlines down her trousers were just
perfect. She also ran the canteen and she certainly ran it “her way”! She always kept the place
scrupulously clean and I believe that she used to get ever so slightly ratty about the disorderly
queue! So in her own inimitable way, she imposed strict discipline. She drew a white line and
insisted that only one person was to cross it at a time, everyone else was to stay behind it until
it was their turn and anyone pushing in the queue was out on their ear! She even had a sign up to
say that bad behaviour would not be tolerated, “by order of Jenna Morris”! And god help you if
you overstepped that mark!
Jenna was a lovely girl and she was always smiling and game for a laugh. Her lively, sociable nature
meant that she was really well liked and she was happy, bubbly and easy going. It took a lot to get
her to lose her temper, but she certainly stood her ground when necessary. She took no nonsense if
she thought someone was taking the mick or had crossed her and she was feisty and spirited. She had
real determination and tenacity she certainly wasn’t one for giving in.She had a fiercely
competitive streak and not to put too fine a point on it, she liked to win. She had talked about one
day becoming a PT Instructor for the army, although she had also mentioned being a lawyer – I
think it was all that Aly McBeal! Actually, with her great strength of character and lovely
personality, I think she could have done anything she wanted to in life…..
Jenna was very close to her sisters,they were always together,whether they were out shopping for yet
more pairs of shoes or at a kickboxing competition or cadet camp.
Only a parent who has lost a child knows how much i miss Jenna and how i wish i could turn the clock
back,its been 5 years now but it still feels like yesterday,i\'ll never stop loving her & missing
her.

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST
Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again,
I crash on rocks of anger,
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When waters are to swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past,
By swimming in Hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I'm gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
Don't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love.
You can only guess how much that
You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.
But it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me, grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comfort by trust.
It's only for a little while we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I'll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
If you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home!"

FOR SUNDAY
Tears
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.

Thinking of you.XXX
The Four Candles
The four candles burned slowly
Their ambiance was so soft you
Could hear them speak.......
The first candle said “I am peace, but these days, no one wants to keep me lit.”
Then peace’s flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
The second candle said “I am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable.”
Then Faith’s flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
Sadly the third candle spoke “I am Love and I haven’t the strength to stay lit any longer.” “People put me aside and don’t understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.”
And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.
Suddenly........
A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning.
The child begins to cry, “Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end.”
Then the fourth candle spoke gently to the little boy, “Don’t be afraid, for I am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles.”
With shining eyes the child took the candle of Hope and lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out in your life.

Goodnight Jenna xxx
Angels are all around us,
And watch us from above,
Angels watch us and they guide us,
They wrap us in their love.
Their loving arms surround us,
But their faces we cannot see,
Their whispers we cannot hear,
As they talk to you and me
We know they are watching us
Each and every day,
If only we could hear,
All the loving words they say.
They talk to us while we are sleeping,
And appear to us in our dreams,
They know when we are crying,
And they hear our silent screams.
Our Angels are always there for us,
To wipe away our tears,
They help us to get by each day,
And try to wash away our fears.

Summerwind
The one who owns this summer is not here,
not here to know the tender summerwind,
not here to share the glowing and the song.
The one who owns this summer did not live,
not live to touch the richness of this day,
this day in summer when you are alone.
Weep to the summerwind, weep and love again
the one you remember,
Sascha

Still think of Jenna every day, we were best friends through Primary school and spent nearly ever day together. Lost touch when she went to secondary school and was like a blow when i heard the news. Miss her and wish i had kept it touch. Got back in touch with Jilly through my sister in law which was nice to catch up on old times and still have a part of Jenna in my life. Will always love her and think of her. xxxxxxxx
♥ HAPPY FATHERS DAY.♥
