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.

I hope this letter reaches you
Up in the sky so blue,
The beautiful place with golden gates
That you have passed through.
I often wonder if what they say
About Angels & Heaven is true,
But there's one thing that I know for sure
And that's how much I'm missing you.

SHE DOESNT
She may eat and she may sleep
She may breath and even speak
But
SHE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME !

A BROKEN HEARTED MOTHER
It's an entity all it's own
with it's pain that's never really gone.
It has many thoughts and faces
But very few reality traces.
It makes you ask many a question
All of which you try to shun.
What~When~Where~If Why?
Could I have done something, so my child wouldn't die?
These are what every parent asks
This part of grief is a heart wrenching task.
Hours turn to days~days to months~months to years
This is the war~you fight without gear.
You feel bare and naked and all alone
at times, you feel like you can't go on.
You say "This happens to someone else ~ not me!"
This I think every parent would agree.
But this time it really is you
You scream "No No No" but it's oh so true.
This nightmare that never ends
With these feelings~ you just can't pretend.
People say "Well you sure look good!"
Don't they know we would die if only we could.
Yes, grief has it's own way
While we endure it and live day to day.
by Judy Craig
WITHOUT YOU
My heart is torn in two
WITHOUT YOU
There is no sunshine
WITHOUT YOU
There is no joy
WITHOUT YOU
My heart will always cry
WITHOUT YOU
I am nothing
My beauitful daughter that once was here
I want the world to know
I loved you very dear
WITHOUT YOU
I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD BE HERE WITHOUT YOU

Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit Again
As Usual On Sunday For Monday
MESSAGE FOR MY FAMILY FROM HEAVEN
To My Dearest Family,
Some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
That I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
Every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
When my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on.
There's so much that we have to do,
To help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things,
That he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
Was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
The day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....
In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
And all those loving years.
Because you are only human,
They are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
It does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
Unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
All that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
You wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads
Ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
By taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
The world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
Who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....
That my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
Who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
As on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
And you've got Me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....
From that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....
You're coming here to Me.
MISS ME..... BUT LET ME GO
We've known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain,,
We've lived in the sunshine,
And walked in the rain. ,
But now we're separated .
And for a time apart,,
But I am not alone- ,
You're forever in my heart.,
Death always seems so sudden, ,
And it is always sure,,
But what is often forgotten-,
It is not without a cure.,
There may be times you miss me, ,
I sort of hope you do,,
But smile when you think of me,,
For I'll be waiting here for you.
Now there's many things for you to do,,
And lots of ways to grow,,
So get busy, be happy, and live your life,,
Miss me, but let me go.
MY FRIEND I CARE
Don’t tell me that you understand.
Don’t tell me that you know.
Don’t tell me that I will survive,
How I will surely grow.
Don’t come at me with answers
That can only come from me.
Don’t tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free.
Accept me in my ups and downs.
I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand and let me cry
And say, “My friend, I care"
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
Angela(Christopher-John Rowe)Mum
Jenna
I remember everything about you,
your voice, you smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.
I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.
I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.
You are gone from me now,
but one they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days...
In my thoughts and prayers always. Love Liz Stuart Maxwell's mum x
7TH FEBRUARY 2009
✿*.*｡✿ I NEEDED SOMEONE SPECIAL..........✿*.* ｡✿
I asked that they'd be Godly,
With wisdom of His ways.
A friend to help and guide me
I the troubles of these days.
✿
So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge,
But encourage us as we walk.
✿
The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble.
But to have a friend to catch our fall,
Teaches us to be humble.
✿
When I asked the Lord to send a friend,
Though many came and went.
He gave much more than I ever asked,
For you are the friend He sent me.
✿
WITH LOVE AND THANKS FOR BEING THERE, JUDE. X X
