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.

Tribute for this weekend
Candles will be lit as usual
On Sunday For Monday
To All Parents
“I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of mine,” He said.
“For you to love the while they live
And mourn when they are dead,
“It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
“But will you, till I call them back,
Take care of them for me?
“They’ll bring their charms to gladden you,
But should their stay be brief,
“You’ll have their lovely memories,
As solace for your grief,
“I cannot promise they will stay,
Since all from earth return,
“But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
“I’ve looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
“And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes
I have selected you.
“Now will you give them all your love,
Nor think the labour vain,
“Nor hate me when I come to call
To take them back again?
I fancied that I heard them say:
Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
“For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter them with tenderness:
We’ll love them while we may,
And for happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.
“But should the angels call for them
Much sooner than we’d planned.
“We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”
Tomorrow
If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.
When We Remember
You can shed tears that they are gone
Or you can smile because they have lived
You can close your eyes
And pray that they’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes
And see all they have left
Your heart can be empty
Because you can’t see them
Or you can be happy for tomorrow
Because of yesterday.
You can remember them
And only that they have gone
Or you can cherish their memory
And let it live on
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what they wanted:
SMILE,
Open your eyes,
LOVE
And go on.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

★ 6TH MARCH 2009 ★
You're with me in memory and in my heart
You're with me always, we're never apart
I talk to you, you hear my call
Cause you pick me up whenever I fall.
I hear your footsteps whenever I walk
I know you listen whenever I talk
I know you are looking down at me
I can't see you but you can see me.
If you ever get time to come back to me
I'll be waiting and I always will be
I'm waiting to see that you are all right
Come anytime, day or night.
But until that time comes, I'll keep waiting for you
And watching your star in the sky of blue
I'll love you forever, you're in my heart
Never, oh never will we be apart.
LOTS OF LOVE, JUDE.X

GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS
I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling stars,
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.
I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.
I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel,
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel
Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day
comes that I'll finally be with you

Was looking at photo's of us today. How much fun we used to have always giggling and having fun. You truly were the bestest friend a girl could have asked for. I have so many memories that I think about everyday and I know how lucky I am that I had the chance to make they memories. I am truly greatful for the time I had you in my life. Love & Miss you with all my heart xXxXx
Lemon drops in the balcony
Gum stuck on the floor
Memories and previews
Of wonders yet in store
A fantasy for little girls
A mother's dream come true
A special bond over space and time
That still links me to you
No longer do we sit together
Though we never are apart
Those days of yore
Are forever in our hearts
The view now somewhat different
The seating not that far
The days of lemon drops live on
In my little girl the star
Love and God Bless
With grief that burns deep
and anger so wild
I want to know where
Where is my child
Is she really with you [god]
In that wonderful promised land
Can she give me a sign
Then maybe i might try to understand
Has im her mother you must understand
I just want to know where
where is my child
I Release You to Fly
Today, as I sat on the edge of eternity,
and watched as life passed me by,
I wanted to feel your embrace again,
But couldn't no matter how hard I try.
Life is not as simple as we think.
Days seem to just come and go.
But the treasures of that loved one,
Oh, what a joy it is to know!
I overhear other mothers when they cry,
And wonder if their pain will ever ease.
Is that the way I was meant to live?
Oh tell me... tell me please.
I know that a child is a precious gift.
One that comes with few directions.
We try our best to follow the handbook of life.
But later see our imperfections.
Loving a child is surely a full time job.
And oh what blessings we receive!
There are no nine to five jobs here, my friend.
Never will there ever be, believe!
We just keep on giving to our children.
Even when they are no longer in sight.
The love we have for them continues to grow.
And prayers are said night after night.
So, today as I sat on the edge of eternity
and watched as time flew by.
I couldn't help but feel your embrace ...
Just before I released you to fly!
