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.

22ND MARCH 2009
♥ † ♥ Mother's Day ♥ † ♥
There are a special group of women
Who you might not know or recognize
They are the ones on Mother's Day
With big tears in their eyes.
Some might have children that you see
but what you don't know
Is that they also have children
that only they can see.
They can see them in a special way
That way is as an Angel
For what you don't understand is
They have all seen, felt, or held an Angel.
Mother's Day is their day too
Try to see that fact
That their hearts are full of pain
Because you too
Didn't see their Angel.
Happy Mother's Day
to all the Moms who have
seen, felt, or held an Angel.
Love,
♥ † ♥ Your Angel in Heaven ♥ † ♥
WHERE DO I BELONG ON MOTHER'S DAY
I'm facing a dilemma
That I don't know what to do
Looking at Mother's Day
And another year without you
Sometimes I feel I don't belong
In the circle of my friends
Because my heart doesn't feel
Like keeping up with all the trends
Sometimes I wish I could be different
And face the day with a smile
I try and do that often
But it gets hard once in a while
I look all around me
And see kid's shopping for their mum's
And all I can think about this March
Is how you never made it to your prom
My friends ask me to join them
For lunch and sometimes dinner too
But where do I fit in
When I'm so lonely without you?
Sometimes I feel I just don't fit in
With the rest of the world
And yet I know that others
Also lost son's and little girls
I watch the ones who are further
Down the road than how far I've came
And I hope that one day I can see
Mother's Day without tears like rain
I wonder where I belong
And whom do I belong to
Although you're not here with me
I'll always be Mum to you
So on this Mother's Day
When the world celebrates as it does
I will remember all the things
And the way things once was
I miss you my child
I miss you with all my heart
And though I don't know where I belong
I think I'm about to start
For a mum is a woman
Who loves her child deep in her heart
And though on earth they are parted
That love stays forever in her heart
I'll think of you this Sunday
And I'll try to smile when I do
For God made me your Mum
And I'll always belong to you
♥
☆ A SHINING STAR ☆
When I had to leave you
I didn't go too far
Look up to the Heavens
Im a Brillant shining star
May this light show you
As it glistens from above
A very special thank~you
When you lifted me with love
A little star that brightly shines
A star thats free from pain
Held gently in God's loving arms
Until we meet again
As you go on your journey
Be the best that you can be
And know that God is there for you
As he is here for me
When we miss each other
And what each other near
You shine your light upon the earth
And I'll shine my light up here
So we will always remember
When we seem so far apart
To shine our lights together
With love upon our hearts

*♥~Bereaved Birthdays~♥*

Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years?
*♥~♥*
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share it's special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife.
*♥~♥~♥*
Before a spirit comes to us
It knows when and how it must depart
It chose it's path carefully
We are honoured from the start.
*♥~♥~♥~♥*
The sadness we now feel
On such a joyous day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us every day.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
So hug your precious memories
Closer to your heart
And honour your beloved spirit child
Who chose you from the start.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*

birthday wishes
are there birthdays up in heaven
does an angel blow his horn
annoucing to all the angels
this is the day that you were born
can the stars be your balloons
and angel food your cake
presents wrapped in moonbeams
all the angels helped to make
so i'll whispera little prayer today
asking everyone up above
to sing you a happy birthday song
and give you all our love
Hello, Old Friend,
Oh, yes, you know
I lost my child a while ago.
No, no please
Don’t look away
And change the subject
It’s ok.
You see, at first I couldn’t feel,
It took so long, but now it’s real.
I hurt so much inside you see
I need to talk,
Come sit with me?
You see, I was numb for so very long,
And people said, “My, she is so strong.”
They did not know I couldn’t feel,
My broken heart made all unreal.
But then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest, began to choke,
Such a scream, such a wail,
Broke from me…
My child! My child!
The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on, you see,
everyone except for me.
Now, when I need friends most of all,
Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bear,
When I mention my child,
I see their blank stare.
“But I thought you were over it,”
Their eyes seem to say,
No, no, I can’t listen to this, not today.
So I smile and pretend, and say, “Oh, I’m ok”.
But inside I am crying, as I turn away.
And so my old friend, I shall paint on a smile,
As I have from the start,
You never knowing all the while,
All I’ve just said to you in my heart.
In my thoughts & prayers always. Love Liz & Stuart x
