TRIBUTESto ENYA 

Enya Elissa English 

OCTOBER 20, 2003 - AUGUST 18, 2022

Compilation Note: There were minor edits to some tributes for clarity. 

For the most part, we have maintained the submissions as they were received.

Enya 

ORIGIN: Irish 

MEANING: Fire; Little seed, kernel 

Enya as a girl’s name is of Irish origins and means “fire,” “little seed,” and 

“kernel.” Enya is the anglicized version of Eithne and was popularized 

by the Irish singer of the same name. In Irish history, at least nine saints 

bore the name’s iteration. One 6th-century St. Eithne was the 

mother of St. Columba, who was the Irish abbot credited 

for spreading Christianity to Scotland. 

Today, Enya is a much-loved classic along the Emerald Aisle 

and is sure to put fire in the belly of your little one. 

And, our Enya Elissa certainly lived up to her name. This tiny seed, 

planted in our lives 18 years, nine months, three weeks and five 

days, multiplied her smile, joy and talents within her family, church, 

community, school and beyond. The fire she has lit is a powerful story of 

purpose and legacy and one that will illuminate our lives forever. 

We love you, Enya!

Enya Elissa English, 

On the 19th of October 2003 it was a rainy Sunday evening when Everton and Maxine took me down 

to Spanish Town Hospital to give birth to you, but you weren’t ready to enter this world until Monday 

October 20th, 2003, on Heroes Day. That’s how I know you were destined for greatness - 4 pounds 4 

ounces was your weight. The instant I saw you, my life totally changed. Yes, thank you Lord, I got a pair - 

a boy and a girl. Giving birth to you was a joy. I will never forget. If I had to do it again, I would definitely 

go through the days of not wearing any underwear and living on cough syrup just for you again without a 

doubt. That Monday…I would do anything to go home to share you with my family and the world at large. 

I did not give you any nickname because I never liked it, so Enya was what everyone called you until you 

met your next mother, Aunty Jodi who called you Toothpick and I never had a problem with her calling 

you that because it was only for church. Enya I’m torn, broken, bitter, filled will hatred for death because 

he robbed me empty. I’m lost and confused. There’s a void that can’t be filled. There’s so much I want to 

say but pain won’t give me the chance to tell you how I feel but one thing I’m grateful for is I took you 

into the house of the Lord with me. So, I can be rest assured that you’re with your maker. The great, I am 

Jesus Christ, loves unconditionally, loves forever, loves never to end my baby girl. 18 years, 9 months, 10 

hours God gave you with me. Mom aka mama bear, cuddle with your king 

Enya why? Why did you get up and leave us without warning? Nothing, 

you just leave. Why couldn’t we fight harder? Why did you not fight harder? You just got up and left. 

We will never get to see what you had up your sleeve and the greatness your mind conceived. You were 

destined for greatness. I see it in the life you had, you touched both small, middle-aged, and senior 

citizens. You have impacted so many in the short time God allowed you with us. But I know for sure you 

will impact the angels, show them a move or two. Bitter pain lingers on, but God knows what’s best. Love 

you in life and death my baby. Pure you are, and pure you will always be. You leave me, your brother, 

family, community, church and school in shambles, but why? 

Return if possible. 

Kayeann 

DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL 

Enya, you were my daughter

things with you... but for the times we 

had together, I will always cherish. And 

even though I know you’re in a better 

place, I am still upset that you’re not here 

with us. Have fun in the sky, mama, for 

we will meet again. Until then, please be

One thing though enuh, she love har 

little boy cousin them enuh. She nuh 

play when it comes to them. Missed and 

forever in our hearts.

Cousin Renee 

A tribute to my niece Enya English: 

I give thanks to God for Enya, because she was 

the child of the great king Jesus. She was born 

and grew up and was baptized in the Ebony 

Vale Baptist Church, a family of Christ. The 

short time God gave her to me as an aunty, I 

am happy to have been in her life. I love my 

niece, and I am happy that I told her that I 

love her before she passed away. She is now in 

a better place with her Saviour. I have so many 

things to say, but God knows them all. You are 

always in my heart. 

Aunty Dorothy Dormer-Boothe/ Aunty Joan. 

Enya was the best cousin out of all of them. She was nice, kind, loving, happy; Always tell me to do good 

and listen to my grandmother. She loves me. 

Lil cuzzin Joel 

Enya, there’s a lot. I don’t know where to start my beloved cousin. You can go to Enya for help with 

anything, and she will assist from she can help. Enya is a loving and caring person, a sweet, sweet, soul. 

Enya always has something to talk about or is always asking questions and is a very demanding person 

in her sweet way. Once you see Enya it’s always a little smile on her face and she loves to laugh. We all 

know Enya is very loud and will slap you while laughing. 

Always jovial. Always ask if I’m cooking when she knows I don’t cook. And always asking for ice cream or 

box juice. 

Enya is my sports buddy. She was always up for playing netball or talking about tracks, but mostly, in the 

days before her sudden passing, we were always talking about track and field. Nothing feels better than 

having someone who speaks your language. 

The thing I love most about her is how she cared for my daughter like she’s her own. You cannot come 

between them. She always asks for Yasi. Yasi eat? Yasi this, or that. She would video call because she 

wants to see Yasi at any given moment. They sleep and bathe together. Everything it’s them. Any little 

thing Enya run come for her and give me a fine piece of cursing and leave with her and say I shouldn’t 

worry about my daughter, and I should have a nice day because she’s in capable hands. And I Know 

Yasannia Will Always Love You Enya. 

My Cousin Enya, I Love You Forever And Always. You’re Very Much Missed. 

Your cousin, 

April

A bright smile and a loud and squeaky voice are the first things that come to mind when I think of Enya 

E. English. She was outspoken and non-violent. She loved children, going to church, and making Tik Toks. 

I have never met anyone as assertive as Enya. The times I spent with her were mainly filled with laughter 

and chatter, which would lead to full-on debates. She would, of course, never lose. There is nothing I can 

do to bring her back, so I’ll just have to hold on to the many precious memories she has left behind. 

From your cousin, 

Shanni M. 

I really hope you are happy wherever you are. I love you. 

My dear cousin Enya, where should I start? We did everything together baby girl. How could you just 

leave me like that? You left me in pieces, Enya. I don’t know how or when I will heal from this. Enya was 

a very supportive cousin, who always helped me with my school work, combed my hair anytime in the 

late hours or early morning for school. Enya and I walked to and from primary school every day together. 

Enya was the older one but was very tiny in body, so most people thought I was the oldest. Enya wanted 

me to pass for Merl Grove just like her so we could go to school every day together just like primary 

school days. Enya taught me a lot and I just want you to know that I always have that special place in my 

heart for you my baby . Enya was very loud with her little mouth. Enya loved to take off guard pictures 

of me and post it and we used to argue a lot about that style that she had. We had our ups and downs as 

cousins, but we always get over that because we are humans. There’s so much I could say baby girl, so 

many memories we had both good and bad. I miss the times when dog would always run us down and we 

are running and laughing like the idiots we are. We always a chat everywhere we go, especially in church, 

as if we don’t live in the same yard. Baby girl, I miss you so much. Continue being the smart and awesome 

person you are in heaven. Rest in paradise Enya. 

Cousin Brianna 

Anytime Enya would come home from school and go upstairs to change, Enya would come down in my 

room and ask, “Grandma yu nuh have nuh snacks?” I said no. She said, “yes, them in the red pan right 

there suh.” Suh me say, alright gwaan go tek out one, and den hear har now, “A one mi did want but me 

see dem suh now me want two and mi want something fi wash it down too.” And me seh nuh yu horse yu 

saggle. She laugh out loud and she seh, “alright grandma.” 

Next time she come and she seh, “Grandma yu cyan buy mi two worm?” Mi seh mi nuh have nuh money 

so go to Renee and tell Renee fi give yu two. No more than two yu hear me seh? She seh, “Alright grams, 

thanks.” 

Enya would always come and seh, “Grams me ago cook weh yu love enuh? The one bone meat - cow foot 

and mi ago share your food nice yer?” Boy, mi just miss mi granddaughter, God know. 

Sleep in peace, baby. Love, 

Grandma

How I remember my sweet little cousin Enya, is Enya loves to smile. She had a beautiful one and Enya 

loved laugh to nuh matter the situation or mood she was in. She’s always happy. Always jovial and I wish 

to keep her that way in my memory. Love and miss you cousin. 

Cousin Donnovan 

John 11:25-26... Jesus said to her, “I am the 

resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, 

though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives 

and believes in me shall never die.” 

I miss Enya. 

Cousin Kelly 

Thinking about you got me to this scripture. 

You’re not here in body, and I believe you’re 

with the Lord. We are saddened that we only 

got eighteen years and ten months with you, 

but your memories will live on forever. Your 

cousins (Azalea and Aurelia) will know how 

wonderful you were. They will know about your 

loud laugh and when anyone looks at you “a 

wah?” would be your reply. They will know you 

loved the Lord, and you were pure. I am going 

to miss your random text asking if we are ok 

and when we are coming over. 

Enya you left me with Precious Memories 

though you’re gone you will always be in my 

heart. Gone too soon but you did not go 

alone. You take a part of me with you. Love 

you forever baby girl sleep on and take your 

rest. God knows best. 

Your loving, Aunty Angela 

Our last conversation was about you spending 

Christmas with me this year and how you’ll 

help in the kitchen like the last time. Enya, I 

will forever cherish the 2019 Christmas that we 

spent together. Love you and miss you. You’re 

one of God’s angels now. 

Cousin Alecia Smiley Smith 

Sorry you only had 18 years with us for 

that’s too short...my heart hurts till now to 

know you are no longer here with us. Your 

memories will live on. Sorry we had to say 

goodbye. May your soul rest in peace. 

Claudette Daley Heslop 

Enya, I miss you so much for the lil time that 

we spent together. I love it, and I hope one we 

will resume it but don’t worry we will see you 

soon. One day we will all be together again.

So, my tribute of my cousin Enya, my little mawga cousin, is that we love to play together and I would 

always love to run her down and hold her by her neck or turn her upside down by holding her by her feet. 

I loved to lift her up but she would act like she doesn’t like it, deep down I knew she loved it. She loved 

to run from mi suh me would always lay wait her on the step suh when she see me she would shout out, 

“mommy talk to Davion nuh? Tell him fi move suh mi can go downstairs.” And Aunty Kayeann would 

just shout out back, “mi nu business with you and Davion enuh.” And me nah move enuh suh she have 

to come down so me must catch her. And a the two a wi that up and down in a the yard, because me 

determined fi catch her and she woulda run fi her life because she little and swift enuh. We had so many 

good times together and Enya used to love trouble me while I’m sleeping in grandma’s room. Love come 

and tickle me foot and run and think me nuh know a she but when me ketch her she start shake and she 

would say, “done, done, please.” Only thing I have left back is just memories haunting me. I know my 

cousin is in the hands of the lord and is in a better place. I’ll miss her screaming out my name to leave her 

alone and just us idling so much. Gwaan sleep in paradise my sweet cousin. 

Cousin Davion 

My memory of my loving cousin Enya. Where 

can I start? She was a loving person, a person 

that I can reason with about anything. Words 

can’t explain how much I miss her, especially 

these days playing games. Just enjoying her 

time was a blessing. I wish she was here, but I 

know I’ll see her in my dreams. 

Christopher Junior, Cousin. 

“Uncle Christopher, yu dah a town? Mi wah 

you come fi mi” I was har personal transport 

buggy “mi ago come work fi yu mi want 

money.” Those were the words of my little 

niece. She loves running and she loves sports. 

Mi love play domino with har, mi love run har 

down but mostly mi miss har smile because 

it’s the One thing she knows how to do. Sleep 

in peace mi niece. 

Uncle Christopher 

My Cousin Enya was a beautiful soul and a good 

role model at times. She was the academically 

smart one and a good athlete. She sometimes 

managed to make you upset with dumb 

questions like, “what are you doing?” when she 

can clearly see what you were doing. She was 

a mischievous soul, like when she troubles my 

father and screams when she gets caught but... 

idk I just wish I got a chance to say goodbye 

because it hurts. I won’t see her again. Any 

ways sleep in peace princess. 

Abby (Cousin) 

Well, this is about my niece Enya. Enya, my niece, was annoying and had a very loud mouth but she was 

very caring and loving. She was the type of person that every time that Enya comes downstairs Enya 

always wanted to trade the porridge that her mother made for any type of food. She always ask if me a 

cook and what mi a cook because she doesn’t like to cook. Enya would pay me money to clean up meat 

for her because she hated cleaning up meat. Every time Enya come see me, a pure food she talk bout, 

food, food, food. Anytime, Enya come see me a watch tv she asks, “a weh yah watch?” All when she see, 

she just loves to ask the obvious questions. But that’s just Enya. That’s just how she was. Enya love ask, 

“Aunty Donna yu nah nuh bread? Beg yuh two slice a bread?” Me seh, “Enya mek yu suh lazy fi cook? Yu 

mother have meat in the fridge season up, yu too lazy mon, gwaan guh cook.” Enya love fi buy har dry 

food. Enya just different She loved her cousins so much. I know she misses them because they miss 

her too. Enya, Aunty loves you and will always do. 

Rest In Peace niecey, Aunty Donna 

Enya, you’ve been my niece for 18 years, then they took you away. You will be missed now and forever. 

Enya was smart, intelligent, funny, outspoken and she was a trouble maker at times. Sometimes she 

makes me mad but you can’t help but to laugh at her, but what I miss most about her is that she is quiet, 

and I love her for that. I’m really going to miss her. Gone but not forgotten.

Love you, Enya. Aunty, Marvia

Enya was like that comet which blazed across the evening that is gone too soon. Whenever you see 

Enya the first thing to greet you is her teeth. I don’t know if it is because they were so pearly white, 

she just had to show them off. She had that infectious smile with her one dimple. I can never ever recall 

seeing her without her smiling, a charming, witty, brilliant, intelligent, and priceless treasure was she. I 

remember when she was about 13 and she was there asking me a lot of questions, and I asked her if she 

was planning to be a lawyer. She asked me why I said that and I told her because she nah ramp with the 

questioning, and she burst out laughing. 

Enya is like sunshine after the rain. A young lady who was not only goal oriented but was a true servant of 

God. I last saw her on July 8, of this year and wow did she look beautiful. I said to her “Gal yu look really 

good”, and as usual with her laughter she said, “Thanks aunty Judy.” When I heard that she was in the 

hospital I tried calling her the same week and couldn’t get through. It wasn’t until the following Monday 

that I got through to her. I asked her if she was boycotting my calls, she laughed and said, “No aunty.” 

We talked for a while. I asked her how she was feeling, and she said she was feeling better, only the fever, 

but she was getting antibiotics for it. Little did I know that would be the last time that I would hear that 

voice and her laughter. 

I know that death is a part of life, but still the knowing will never make it easier. 

The comfort I take is knowing for a fact that Enya lived a fulfilling life. Yes, it 

was short but God truly broke our hearts to take the very best. For flights of 

angels are singing welcome home to her and she’s there dancing and smiling. 

The life that Enya lived will always speak for her, what an amazing life she 

lived. So, although my heart is broken and wishing won’t bring you back, I take 

comfort knowing that I will see you again. 

Your aunty, 

Judith Walters 

Enya English was my loving and jovial God 

daughter n she will be forever missed. So 

grateful for the time spent with you! 

Love you hun. 

Rohan Jenkins 

It’s hard for me to start each day knowing that 

you’re gone. I am so much in pain knowing I’ll 

never see you again in this world. I will always 

see your face in the corner of your smile and 

all the little things that no one will ever know. 

Goodbye is just a word I’ll never say, oh I still 

feel you’re here with me, you’re more than 

just a memory. Oh, Enya you’ll never been 

forgotten even if a million years pass us by. 

Sandra (Godmother)

U were a sweet and humble soul. I can recall you always remembering your little cousins after their 

father died, if no one else did you did! U weren’t working but you got vouchers for school and you 

thought of him and gave them to him to help with books. A birthday you never forget for them, you will 

be truly missed. Rest in paradise baby girl the angels are lucky to have you amongst them. 

Kerina Clarke 

Saying goodbye 

Was the hardest thing to do. 

I never thought I would, 

Especially not to you. 

You always listened 

And knew what to say, 

Knew when to give a hug 

When I was having a bad day. 

No one will ever take your place. 

I can always promise you this. 

It’s hard to find someone like you, 

So know you’ll always be missed. 

Shanora 

Life has shown us again its hurtful side 

by taking you away from us when we 

didn’t see it coming. You have left some 

wonderful memories that will never fade 

from my heart, weathering everything life 

threw at you with such bravery. An Angel 

gone too soon; he only takes the best. I 

won’t see that beautiful smile any more, 

two shining eyes at rest. A heart of gold 

stopped beating, 

Gone too soon. 

Shanoria Liking 

I’ve known Enya for a short while, but it seems like I’ve known her for quite some good while. Enya was 

a very sweet soul towards me and always encouraging me to do my best in what I can. Enya is always 

looking out for me even when she’s very sick. She always a call me to come and pick any of her snack that 

she had, even if it’s not a lot. Anything Enya doesn’t want to eat when she was sick, I know for a fact she’s 

going to call me and ask if I want it, even when she’s not ok. I miss you Enya. 

Nickel Boothe 

To my beautiful God sister, I hope your dancing and sharing that beautiful smile up in heaven… you 

might’ve broken my heart by leaving us ; But it warms my heart just to remember every laughter and the 

sound of your giggles. You’re a true gem one that brightens anyone’s day. As we try to cope with you 

not around physically, I hope myself and other relatives and friends never forget what your presence feels 

like. It’s hard to believe this but I’ll just tell myself that you’re taking your beauty rest. Afterall pretty girls 

with beautiful smile like yours needs beauty rest. 

Sleep In Peace. 

God Sister,

Church 

Family

Tribute For the Late Enya English 

In January 2016 when I became pastor of the Ebony Vale Baptist Church I was ushered into the life of 

Enya English and family. I countered Enya through the dance ministry of the church. 

She possessed a pleasant personality but don’t let that fool you as she is also determined. She spoke her 

mind and will defend whatever position she held dear. 

To meet Enya English is to experience someone full of life and hope. She is the image of joy and purpose. 

It seems like Enya had the strength to face and overcome anything. 

Enya had a love for life that was infectious. You could not spend time around her without being infected 

with her love for life. She represented grace amid trial and joy amid pain. 

She will be dearly missed. 

Pastor Oniel Brown 

You brightened our lives with your radiant smile 

Touched our hearts with each dancing glide 

But now you are no longer walking by our side 

For God has taken you home to glory land. 

Reverend Stephen Smith 

You sang to the Lord with all your heart from the children’s choir to the heavenly choir. 

You became a member of the children’s choir at a tender age. Your dedication and consistency in this 

ministry to the Lord, did not go unnoticed. Your charming smile and camaraderie shared with your fellow 

choir members was unforgettable. You could be depended on to remember the tune and lyrics of the 

songs rendered. You demonstrated such a proper disposition even when singing. You were indeed a 

role model. 

It is with deep respect and admiration that we salute you as a member of the heavenly choir. Sing on 

Enya, sing with the heavenly angels. 

Children’s Choir 

E- Effervescent N - Naturally Beautiful Y - Youthful A - Ambitious 

Enya was with our ministry for only a few months but with that time she did well to leave her mark. From 

her first day of recruitment with Donesa, without a fuss she accepted each task given to her as an honour 

to help serve in God’s Kingdom. She was always willing to lend an extra hand when she could, especially 

to Patricia and Jhanelle even though she was not on their team. Her effortless kindness can never be 

forgotten. She brought her lifting spirit into the ministry, gracing us with her authenticity and positivity 

and spreading her joy to others unintentionally by simply creating smiles and bringing fun by using her 

wittiness. A dull moment could not exist while she was around. 

A willing servant left us too quickly, but we praise God for the time we spent, the love we shared and the 

work that she was able to produce even to the very end. We love and miss you Enya, until we can laugh 

together again.

Toothpick, Winngie, Canngle, Slim Thing, Munchkin, Babygirl, Warrior Princess. None of us could have 

imagined that this would be the end of our journey. Dancing was more than just another ministry; we 

were a family. We were privileged to grow together spiritually, physically, academically you name it; 

every aspect of our lives was intertwined. Through the good, the bad and the ugly nothing could break 

the bond God placed in our group. You were one of the smallest in stature, but you were one of the 

strongest, toughest, and energetic dancers we have ever had which is quite ironic because you were one 

of the laziest, such a contradiction. 

We truly wish we had more time. More time to talk, laugh, share our weekly drama whether good or bad, 

get in more hugs, more prayers, more time to stare at your infectious smile and most of all, share one 

more dance but God had other plans. 

Enya, you have imprinted on our hearts. Although we will be sad and broken for a while, we have found 

comfort knowing you will be with us forever because you ensured your heart was with God. Keep dancing 

and looking down on us. Until we dance again. 

Dance Ministry 

Kayeann, you are not just a Mother, a Friend, a Sister, a member, you are the one who gives ALL she can 

no matter what the cost. You always seemed to have all the time in the world to share, to care and only 

God knows how you were able to give so much to your children. In this ministry you have proven yourself 

committed and devoted time and time again; always on time, always filling in, week after week never 

complaining - It’s like you are always on duty. 

Here now is our opportunity to share, care and give to YOU! To fill in for YOU, to show up for YOU, 

to cover for YOU, to make YOU feel like we have ALL the time in the world to ensure that you remain 

solid, rooted, and grounded in faith and love. We cannot take your pain away, we cannot replace what you 

have lost, but we can support you through it all, and just like an offering bag, we extend blessings and pass 

on LOVE in its richest abundance. 

Usher’s Board 

A line from one of Michael Jackson’s popular songs states, “Like a comet blazing across the evening sky 

gone too soon”. Yes, that is how we feel but if we can put our grief aside for a minute we can speak our 

truth - the truth. Enya came, saw and she conquered! 

Enya’s accomplishments in her relatively short life are way more than some of us will ever accomplish. 

She touched many lives by the way that she lived her life. Enya was not a ‘bystander’ in life, she was an 

active participant. 

Whatever she was called on to do she did, and she did it well. Ebony Vale Baptist Church was an integral 

part of her development. Her mother ensured that she was brought up in church and Enya had the 

willingness to stay in the church. 

Although we mourn her passing, we realise that Enya was an angel that was loaned to us by God. God 

had a purpose for her life, and she fulfilled her purpose. Her life was exemplary in the community, the 

church and at school. Due to the way that she lived her life others are now inspired to be better persons. 

The Lord decided that His angel has fulfilled His mandate and He has called her home. Enya, we love 

you, we will always love you and we miss you. 

Rest well angel.

When your tears flow, your fears grow. When the ocean rises, your feet get tired, shoulders get tight, 

tummy burns and memories flood your soul. We might not have words adequate to soothe your pain, but 

be assured of our prayers, thoughts, and tangible support. We will be there for you. Our God is fighting 

for you and day by day he is carrying you through. His faithfulness never fails and will continue to cover 

and comfort you. Be encouraged and stay strong. 

Combined Choir 

Your beautiful smile will forever be in our 

hearts, and not a day will go by without you in 

our thoughts. 

You were always willing to give a helpful hand, 

carrying out the church’s duties and our 

Saviour’s plan. You would brighten up a room 

with your charming demeanour and captivate 

those around you with your childish and 

playful behaviour. 

Enya, there is no doubt that we will always miss 

you, but we know you are resting in the sweet 

arms of our maker. 

Until we meet again on that sweet day, our 

little princess, you have gained your wings and 

it is now time for you to rest. 

Continue to sleep in peace our beautiful young 

angel, heaven has certainly gained a gem. 

“On behalf of the Care Ministry, we Love you.” 

Care Ministry 

We love you but God loves you more. 

Remember that your brothers and sisters 

share your pain. I personally know that pain, 

we have hugged and shared this experience 

together. I will always be there for you. Time 

heals, it healed me, and it will do the same 

for you too. After this suffering for a while, 

God will restore, support, and strengthen 

you and will place you on a firm foundation. 

Hold on to your faith in God and you will be 

strengthened by it. I cannot tell you how to 

go through this, find your own way through 

God. This is what I did, and it works. We love 

you always and you will soon be miss, busy 

body again. Love you my sister from Sis 

Jennifer and the Hospitality team. 

Hospitality 

Energetic Nifty Yip Adept 

A quiet but humble young lady. Enya was my daughter and granddaughter in one. Sandreen was like a 

mother hen caring and protective of her. When she was in our home, I would have to call out her name 

to see if she was really there. Dimi, I hope you do not feel left out as you are always a part of us. Steve 

would always come in from work and ask, “Little one, are you here? Did you eat?” He never treated 

her differently from his other girls. He would fuss about her not eating just as he would have done 

Sandreen and Sheniel. 

I remember coming in one evening from work and she said, “Aunty Erica I cook. You want dinner?” I felt 

so good hearing that from her, and we ran our little joke about her knowing how to cook, and she said 

“Yuh think I can’t cook. I cook all the while at home.” Those memories and the ones of her dancing 

at church will forever be etched in my mind. Thank you Kayeann for sharing your daughter with us. 

A flower has been plucked from the garden on earth, but I know you will be brighter and stronger flower 

watching over us. 

Sleep 

on little one and take your rest from all the pains.

“She likkle but she tallawah’ A Jamaican proverb that aptly describes Sis Enya English – she was 

small in physical stature, yet she accomplished anything that she set her mind to do. We reflect on 

Enya as a stalwart and a pillar of the EVBC Family Bible Hour (Sunday School) – Youth class. Her 

accomplishments were numerous as she passed several Sunday School examinations and her most 

recent accomplishment at FBH was being successful in the Jamaica Baptist Union Quiz Competition 

for EVBC in 2021. Sis Enya was very competitive - her journey to success in the quiz competition and 

the examinations was based on her determination and her tenacity. Her FBH teachers can recall that 

although Enya was studying for her academic exams, like many of her peers, she was determined to 

participate in the FBH quiz - she requested additional practice questions and reviewed the study material 

with a seriousness of purpose. She was commended for her efforts at the FBH Anniversary service. 

Her FBH teachers can recall her willingness to always participate in the activities of the FBH class – 

whether reading the scripture – she knew her Bible well as she was always among the first to find the 

relevant passages ahead of her peers in the class. She was the first to complete the exercises in the 

Sunday School book or to write/draw on the blackboard or to act out a part. She would be encouraging 

her peers to participate and was a true example for us all. 

Sometimes Sis Enya got a little distracted in the class as some sidebar conversations would occur with 

her fellow classmates. But she was so obedient and apologetic and would quickly follow the instructions 

of her teachers, a testament of good home training. 

We appreciated Sis Enya not only for her contribution to FBH but, on a personal level, when she would 

send a text to console in grief or to offer congratulations for success. Enya was an example for us all 

– she achieved many awards in her very short life, which provided motivation for us all to stick to and 

complete the task at hand. Her faith in Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour was real and was reflected in 

how she conducted herself and her attitude to life. We thank her for the life lessons she has taught us, 

and we resolve to continue her legacy of unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. 

Did you know Enya English? 

She was Pretty, polite, pleasant and stylish. 

A charming Christian and willing participant in assisting with church activities; 

She was never hesitant. 

Such a good team player with a curious mind, 

Kind-hearted and well-spoken, she was one of a kind. 

Enya 

She was our daughter... 

She was a go getter, spoke her mind with respect, knew what she wanted. She was willing to try and was 

always helping others in class. 

ENYA 

Ever ready, energetic, electrifying 

Never nonchalant, 

Yes, I will do it, yes, I will try 

Attitude right and with purpose. 

Gone too soon…thank you Lord for allowing her to touch our lives in her eighteen years. We know her 

purpose was fulfilled, as she had completed her assignments.

Watching you walking across the platform, regally adorned in your cap and gown with your degree in 

hand as you graduate from University. Blowing bubbles at you as you waltz down the aisle with your 

handsome groom on your wedding day. Playing silly games at your baby shower as we anticipate the birth 

of the child you and your husband are entrusted with. These are just a few of the dreams and aspirations 

we anticipated sharing with you as we watched you blossomed from the gangly legged little girl into a 

gorgeous young woman. Instead, we were blessed with your always beautiful, but cheeky smile that gave 

the impression you had just played a trick on someone and was enjoying a silent joke. We were blessed 

with your never-ending hugs that exuberated pure warmth and love, your fiery personality when you 

argued your points and your graceful dance moves as you were swayed by the rhythms of reggae, soul, 

calypso and hip hop. How can we forget your athletic prowess, as you maneuvered the hurdles on the 

track, and most of all, your passionate love for the Lord and your committed service to His people. 

Are these memories enough to compensate for those we will not get to experience? Yes!! The truth 

is, those seemingly few years we had with you, a reality that we sometimes still find so hard to accept, 

have provided us with a lifetime of memories. Thank you for being such a wonderful and special part of 

our lives ENYA. We will truly miss you. You have your wings little angel, wear your crown with pride and 

continue to dance with the angels in heaven until we meet on that great homecoming day. 

Sophia and Rae-Anna 

A radiant smile, an infectious laugh, a pleasant voice. Beautiful dancing feet, an honest unfiltered 

enquiring mind, all these and so much more embodied our earth Angel who impacted everyone she came 

in contact with. From that first solo dance I watched you “Oh freedom - Over me” an Energizer Bunny. 

I will never forget that last time I saw you telling me I should be preaching. My commitment to you is to 

let my life be a living Bible. Walk good. 

Shereen Bennett 

Enya, a name I never thought I’d speak 

of under circumstances as this. One of 

the bravest souls I ever came across on 

the dance team. Always willing to try 

something new even if she knew she’d 

look funny, to the extent of laughing at 

herself and still trying to fix what needed 

to be. There is a saying I quote, “if you 

love me, better you tell me now, don’t 

bother waiting till later, when I’m gone, 

you’re scattering roses”, and this was a 

chance I never got to take. You will always 

be my memory of great times, the years I 

got to spend with you as an acquaintance, 

a friend and those heart-to-heart 

conversations we would randomly have, 

are all the things I’ll have to keep in a box 

of memories that you and I created. 

For me, it’s never a goodbye, but see you 

soon, on to a greater life as you remain in 

our hearts. 

Until we meet again, bright beautiful soul. 

Brittany 

My dearest Enya, you were always full 

of light and a ball of happiness. Not to 

mention one who would always give 

trouble, because that’s one characteristic 

that made you so lovable and cherished. 

You were never the person to pass me 

without screaming my name “Spesh” 

followed by a warm hug and then proceed 

to ask me when I can bring you out, then 

eventually we would start talking about 

silly things until we burst out laughing like 

we are in a comedy show. You have most 

definitely touched the hearts of many by 

just being yourself. I wish I could have said 

goodbye, but looking back I don’t think I’d 

be able to, instead I’d want to slow time 

down just so you could be with us today. I 

would have made the moments last much 

longer. Your smile is like the stars and the 

moon, brightening up the night sky and I 

will never forget it. Though I’m missing you 

I’ll find a way to get through. I hope your 

dancing in the sky. 

Love, 

Blaire

My dear ENYA, it pains my heart just 

to write this. I really don’t know what to 

say because I still can’t believe you’re 

gone. This I know for sure it was a 

pleasure to know you for the 18 years 

God lent you to us! I guess heaven 

needs you more than here. It was such 

a joy to dance, sing, and sign with you! 

I know for sure you’re continuing to do 

the same in Heaven, dancing, singing and 

singing with the angels. Enya, we miss 

and love you! You will always be in our 

heart. Until we meet again my dear! 

Lakecha Grant 

Enya was an angel sent from God. Enya was a true 

natural child, she had a mouth, yes, but she was 

always respectful to her elders. She would say what 

was on her mind. That was how Enya was. She didn’t 

take nonsense. Her belief was in God, and she was 

keeping it real. That’s how she was until the day she 

left us. All young people should take a leaf from 

Enya’s book, and they should try to emulate her life 

as she lived, do the things she did, and come out 

looking really good like her. May God continue to 

take care of my baby. 

Yvonne Campbell 

Enya, your memories live on. They live on past your name and past the roles. They live on based on the 

people you’ve touched, the hearts you have blessed and the lessons you’ve taught. They live on past the 

troubles you’ve faced. The slippers you’ve dodged. It lives on through the memories of your laughs and 

the ministry of your dance. They live on through the words you’ve spoken in times of chaos that soothed 

the atmosphere, the hugs you’ve given and the helping hands you have stretched out. Your memory lives 

on through the listening ear you’ve always lent. It lives through your understanding and the words you 

share to solve problems. It lives through the memories of the good times and bad times. I thank you for 

sharing your time with me. 

Aaliyah 

Dear Kayeann, Dimitri and Paul, words cannot express how painful this loss is. When I looked down 

memory lane and saw that fine, sweet, and graceful soul of Enya moving around, surely a gesture I will 

never forget. All along I prayed to God to send us his Guardian Angel to walk with us on earth, not 

knowing that Enya was indeed one of those Angels. She has graced us with her strength, confidence, 

growth and a ray of sunshine when performing on the big stage. She displayed to me a true child of 

God. Hey baby girl, tell me how heaven looks. Someday we will gather again in Gods kingdom. I love you 

Kayeann, Dimitri and Paul and the rest of the family I am praying for you. 

Treshanna Watson 

Enya, the only thing that we have to hold on to, in order to cope 

with the fact that you are no longer with us, is that we are sure 

that you have gone to be with our Saviour. We can just imagine 

when he sees your beautiful smile, how he will welcome you into 

his bosom. Although we will miss that radiant smile, brisk walk, 

humbleness and your devoted participation in different areas of 

the church’s ministries, and the tears that we cry may not stop 

for now, just know that we know, that you are now in a better 

place. We love you little Enya and may you continue to sleep in 

eternal peace

This news shocked everyone, Enya. We knew the plans you had but sometimes our plans do not align with 

God’s plan, and it hurts sometimes, but we trust God. You are going to be missed literally forever. You 

were not only Dimitri’s little sister, but you were also all of us’ little sister. You would always congratulate 

me on my achievements, and I always tried to match you by congratulating you whenever you won. You 

always won Enya, you always won! I remembered I told Dimi that for every pass you got in “CSEC” 

I would reward you, and you did almost make me go broke because you did so great. Heaven won, an 

Angel Enya. You were a gem to everyone that knew you. 

Love you and miss you Lil’ sis. You made us all proud the short time God lent you to us! 

Kedeanne Muirhead 

The journey of your life was filled with 

laughter. There’s no regret until the smile 

you blessed us with suddenly fades from 

our lives. We will never say goodbye and it 

broke my heart to lose you, no one will ever 

know. You will not go alone, a part of me 

went with you. Even though you are out of 

sight, you are always on my mind. 

Love you always my dear Enya 

Marge 

Enya, you are not here, but your presence 

and warm smile lingers in the shadows. I 

will always remember your laughter and see 

you dancing when I think of you. You have 

left a void in my heart, as if you were my 

biological daughter. Rest in peace. 

Sister Spence 

A beautiful soul gone too soon. 

My heart cannot express the way I feel, 

and my mind refuses to accept that 

you’re no longer here with me. The fact 

that you don’t easily open yourself to 

those you hardly know, anyone who sees 

you could see a humble soul. I cannot tell 

when this emptiness inside will go, but 

until then my child, I will hold on to the 

memories we shared and the smiles I will 

have each time I think of you. For I know 

in the arms of your Saviour your soul will 

dwell; so farewell until we see each other 

again. 

Farewell my dear Enya. 

She was a good friend of mine. 

Shea 

Jordan 

Enya, you were like sunshine because you had a smile that you always wore so gracefully. 

Though you were young, you lived with the wisdom God had blessed you with at such a young age. I have 

never seen or heard of you doing anything of ill report. You were young but you still answered the call of 

God. “Who will go and work for me today?” You responded, “Here l am O Lord, send me.” 

You left us very unprepared for your absence. Reminders of you will be ever present because you were a 

blessing to everyone around you. Yes Enya, you are still teaching us to overcome challenges with a smile. 

No one can take your place in this chapter of life. We can only move on with the memories of joy and 

peace you left with us. You will carry on in the hearts of those you left behind. 

We will miss you Enya. The memories of you remain in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace.

I remember one year while teaching 

Sunday school we were preparing for our 

yearly youth exams, the group we had was 

small but Enya was always enthused about 

the next pop quiz I was gonna give them. 

She would always want me to mark the test 

quickly as she wanted to know if she passed 

and if she was ready for the exam to come. 

She was always willing to help and always 

made whomever in her presence laugh. 

There was never a dull moment around her. 

You will be forever loved and missed. Rest 

in the arms of our Saviour. 

Regards, 

Joni Campbell 

Sweet girl Enya, what can I say? I miss 

you so much it hurts. You are one of the 

sweetest people I ever met with that 

radiant smile that lights up every dark room 

and those warm hugs that signify love and 

comfort. You were such a brilliant, smart, 

dedicated, ambitious, playful, and happy 

girl. It was a pleasure having you around and 

to have met you. Attending church and not 

seeing you is gonna be hard. Your memory 

will surely live on. Heaven surely gained an 

Angel, and there’s always gonna be a place 

in my heart for you baby girl. We love you 

but God loves you best. 

Tennesha Terrelonge 

Tribute to an Angel in Heaven 

To an angel up in heaven, I want you to know I feel you watching over your mother, brother, and friends 

everywhere you go. 

Enya, I thought you would have stayed with us longer. But it was never to be, memories of you in my 

heart that I can only see. 

Our angel up in heaven I hope you understand that I would give anything if I could hold your hand. I 

would hold it tightly and never let go and all the love inside of me to you I would show. 

Our angel Enya up in heaven for now we are apart you will always live inside of me deep withing my 

heart. A precious gem. Love you always, Enya. 

Andrew Martin 

As I recall the words of Enya’s career objective on her resume that she shared with me, I can truly say 

she was outstanding. She had major plans for her life and also the potential to achieve all of them. In my 

brief encounters with Enya, through the Youth Summer Employment Program that is hosted by my 

workplace, I was touched by her animated accounts of what happens when she goes out to collect the 

data. I still laugh when I remember her story about being chased by a cow but still, she pressed on with 

her work. She had great work ethics, even at this young age, and she was top of my list for this year’s 

summer program which she unfortunately was not able to participate in. Enya left her mark in this world 

because she was an amazing human being that was raised by an amazing mother with strong values. I will 

always remember her in that regard. Rest well Enya, you did your part.

Missing You 

06|09|2022 

for E.E.E. 

Numb is my heart, 

Not knowing how to start; 

I am broken in pain 

Not by stone... 

For if you hit me now, 

There’d be no feeling in any of my bones — 

You have left us in disarray, 

Gone never to smile another day… 

I wish I could have asked you to stay, 

To shine your light and have strength to play. 

Forgotten is what you’ll never be, 

Not knowing how to imagine 

You not, being beside me… 

So much joy you bought, 

A peace to my busy soul, 

Just one more chance, 

I’d love to have you to hold. 

You were My Princess, a name you received with so much joy. I can’t 

remember the very first time you stayed over but I remember I never 

wanted you to stop. I remember one week I invited you over because I 

missed you SOO MUCH! In my selfishness of wanting, you with me 

it never occurred to me that was one of the emptiest weeks at home, 

barely any food, no one had money for groceries but you never grimaced, 

as I put things together for you to eat, giving you small portions because 

that’s what we had it wasn’t til after you left it was brought to my 

attention how absent-minded I was by bringing you over without proper 

accommodation. I ALWAYS WANTED YOU WITH ME! 

There are SO MANY secrets we share, so many times you’ve scolded 

even me for my actions. And no matter what you could get me staying 

up with you @2am [and then waking me at 5am cause you had to be at 

school early, and insisted we travelled together] studying the night before 

a test or exam even when you spent 4 days just relaxing because you said 

being with us made you feel safe and happy. {the days you were here, were 

the earliest I was at work} 

I will miss you showing your love in hidden ways, the portrait you made 

for me was the DEAREST gift I’ve ever received. You told me how 

beautiful I was and how much you wanted me to remember that. My 

Princess, no matter how many pleadings I had to do with you to talk to 

me when you’d prefer to be silent, to eat even when you weren’t hungry, 

to be honest about a situation if you were afraid of the outcome, to be 

gentler with a few people because not everyone understands how you 

love. I WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN . 

Thank you for choosing me. Though a part of me is gone with you, 

I breathe only because I know you would want me to. 

Sandreen, your confidant. 

My mentee, Enya English (as I loved to say...Enya Patois), because you perfected the patois so well, I 

still can’t understand how your surname was English. I will never forget your early years visiting me at the 

church office, begging for a rubber band or two, begging for a paper clip and how you used to giggle and 

touch just about everything. I miss you so much; words cannot express. God had placed His special stamp 

of approval on her life....in 18 years and 10 months. She ran the race, kept the faith and completed the 

task set out for her. God has called another angel home. May the Lord comfort our hearts as we mourn 

such a significant loss. 

Gone but will NEVER be Forgotten 

Aunt Janet

Enya, 

I have cried and stopped and had the cycle on repeat for days before I could pen this. I am honestly at such a loss for words. 

I have never considered saying goodbye to any of my children. My heart is broken, manifested physically by a constant 

ache that refuses to leave my chest. Thank you for allowing me to love you and loving me in return. I am grateful to have 

spoken with you every day in the last eight days before your transition. That’s what I choose to call it because I know that 

for those of us who believe in Christ, earth is but a rehearsal for eternity. I’m thankful to have said I love you each time we 

spoke. My heart burns with regret at that last call when Kayeann put the phone to your ears. Selfishly, though you were not 

in a position to speak, I wish I could have kept talking to you longer. Oh, Enya, how I love you. 

I recall Kayeann coming with you as a toddler to church, glimpses of you in your Basic school uniform, but more intensely, 

I reflect on 12-plus years of you in my life, and I smile, and I wince. You were my Toothpick, not only because you were 

the tiniest of them all, but because despite your size, you could be sharp and piercing and ensured your mark was felt. In 

summary, “Likkle pickney yu gi talking enuh!” But, oh, how I love you. 

When we would meet for dance practice in a group of sometimes 30 or more, there was a high-pitched voice above the 

noise. I would simply have to peer over heads and follow the sound. Behind the bellow would be a small frame giving out 

a sharp correction to others (who were more than likely older), a performance theater in which you were the storyteller 

sharing your latest adventures, and at times, the path to your voice was defiance of instructions. You were never rude but 

strong-willed and determined. As you grew older, that firm will became one of your most admirable characteristics. You 

never gave up on your faith, even as you watched others go astray. You, my child, knew your path and refused to follow the 

crowd. “Yah good girl, man.” For that, I love you. 

I smile in admiration when I recall one of my first phone conversations with you outside of dance. Your curious mind at just 

six intrigued me. “Aunty, wish part yu deh?” My response was, “work.” “Suh yu guh every day?” And before I could answer, 

there were several other questions. You didn’t let the conversation end there but followed up that Saturday with more 

questions - what type of work, whether I liked it and how much I got paid? “Likkle gal yu did faas.” But, oh, how I love you. 

You were never afraid at any age to challenge me and came to every practice (and I meant every practice, for you were 

rarely ever absent) with a perpetual, “why?” I wince as I remember finalizing the choreography for our pastor’s farewell 

in 2013. You were the youngest selected to minister at this ‘high-profile’ event, with the Governor General’s wife in 

attendance. As we rounded out the last rehearsal and executed the end of the song with a bow, in the solemness of the 

moment, you broke the formation, turned, folded your hand and yelled, “a wish part im ago siddung, cause mi nah bow to 

nuh man, only God.” Though stunned, I quickly had to assess whether our direction made sense. On another occasion, I 

remember accompanying you to purchase uniforms at Merl Grove and telling the lady in the bookshop a specific number 

to which you promptly interjected, “Aunty, how yu fi a take four and a five day inna the week?” causing the entire room 

to break out in laughter and me slightly embarrassed, having to revise the order. “Pickney, yu never ramp fix mi up.” It will 

never stop my love for you. 

You knew how to tug at my heartstrings. I will never forget the day of your baptism when at 10, your testimony made us 

all cry. It was also the often sly smile, the wait until I would walk to the car, the random call at work, or while I was driving 

home. Equally, you knew how to push my buttons. Regardless of my anger, you would just be silent and ignore me. As you 

grew older, you would make those periods of ignoring me last longer, and I know you knew that hurt me more than a feisty 

answer. But I also learned how to push yours, and when I upset you, you occasionally would report me to Kayeann who 

sometimes had to play referee. I would often smile at the fact that you cared enough to complain. And I know you cared… 

”Coulda gwaan like yu tough.” Oh, Enya, I love you. 

I could tell stories for days, but I will remember you and those rashes every time I see a mango. I will never hear about 

crabs, breasts, pass the bus stop at Merl Grove, see a pack of Milo, hear the word patty, or hear “a tru yu nuh know,” and be 

able to hold a straight face. I will miss your stories about Abby, Joel and Yassi and your many “nah talk to Brianna” episodes 

(90% of which you could never recall how it started). I will miss how you called Kayeann - “mommy” (“ah dat mi a tell 

mommy” “mommy love cook e food too early” “mommy mi nuh waan dat” “mommy falla mi nuh”) and hearing you brag 

about your older brother Dimi (though often in his absence). I will miss your facial expressions, loud laughs, and your refusal 

to speak English (and the irony of how that belies your last name). I will miss the art you brought to storytelling and how 

through it, you taught us how to laugh with you and laugh at ourselves. I will miss celebrating your many accomplishments 

and accolades (especially the Accounting Auditing Firm you and Dimi would open). “Enya, yu mek mi proud enuh. Proud 

buck!” My beauty and brains, I love you. 

Most of all, Enya, I will miss having you here.

Community 

and Friends

Peace be with y’all. Enya was more than a 

friend. She was more like a daughter to me. 

Very respectful, calm, and wise young lady. 

She’s not the type to be seen on the road 

unless she is going or coming from school. 

The little time you’ll see her is when she 

goes to the shop, which she doesn’t even do 

much. Enya was very polite and intelligent 

and filled with manners, so I really miss 

picking her up early in the mornings for 

her to catch the bus to get to school and 

sometimes when I’m unable to, I feel so 

bad because I knew she feels safer and 

more comfortable with me taking her to 

and from. I really miss her and her happy 

face and smile because truly she was just a 

humble young lady and if everyone treats 

and grow their children the way Kayeann 

aka Kay does, the place will be filled with 

wonderful children. But Enya will always be 

remembered, always in my memory. Rest 

in paradise young, Enya. 

Enya was a brilliant light in the world. She 

leaves permanent footprints in our heart. 

We celebrate ENYA’s legacy every day. 

The lovely bud, so young, so fair 

Called off by earthly doom 

Just came to show how sweet a flower in 

paradise could bloom 

What though death at times steps in 

And call our best away 

And sorrow seems to win over a heavy sway 

Leave for her a red young rose 

Go your way and save your pity 

She is happy for she knows 

That her dust is very pretty 

Sleep our little angel 

Here so briefly 

Our bright light 

The sunshine of our heart 

Jessica 

Charles aka Scata (taxi driver) 

I want to extend my condolences to the family. I’m deeply saddened to hear of Enya’s passing. When 

I heard I was saddened and heartbroken. Enya was an angel in human form. She was warmhearted, 

beautiful and an ambitious individual and I was honored to know her. She will be missed but will live on 

in all the minds of those who had the privilege of knowing her. Someone special can never be forgotten. 

Happy times I could never regret, and wonderful memories will live on forever in our hearts. May she rest 

in eternal peace. My deepest sympathies go out to the family during this difficult time. Stay strong. May 

tender memories soften your grief, may you find comfort and peace in the thought of joy that knowing 

your loved one brought. 

Gary Sappleton 

Enya, she was educated, nice, young, and 

adorable. When you saw her, she’d greet 

you with a smile. She was quiet sometimes; 

you’d wonder does she know the word 

trouble? I saw someone focused, she was a 

young lady who was going somewhere, she 

was a rare kind of flower in a garden, you 

would have to notice, we got her for a short 

time, but she’ll always be remembered. 

Sleep sweet Enya. 

Jennifer Wright Smith - Family friend 

Ever since you went away the days go 

slowly by and the hardest thing to cope 

with is never knowing why. 

Some days the sadness leaves me. 

Some days I just can’t understand the 

reason you’re not here. 

But I’ve learned that those we love never 

go away. They walk beside us every day. 

Life and death hold mysteries but one thing 

for sure, I loved you then, I love you now 

and will forevermore. 

Petrina

Enya will always be remembered as a very jovial person and a person with a bright smile. She was very 

good at Debating, the game “French” and Golfing. Enya is such a caring, loving, and very dedicated to 

accomplishing her goals and making her family proud. You were loved and will be missed by many Enya. 

Rest In Peace.

Enya you were such a beautiful soul, and you are forever in our memory and our hearts. May peace be 

with you. We’ll meet again but until then, fly high with all God’s angel. 

From, 

Peddy 

It pains a lot when we heard the news that you’re no longer here with us. You were a kind and loving soul 

Enya. Even in your pain, you still find the time to help out others. You were a fighter. You may be gone 

from our sight but not from our hearts... We love you Enya... Rest in peace...

really miss you Enya.

Enya is a daughter of the community. She was a gift from God to us. She’s always laughing, and she is a 

no nonsense person outspoken and very encouraging with a bundle of ambition. I am so blessed to have 

known her.

When I am gone 

Release me and let me go 

I have so many things to see and do 

You must not tie yourself to me with tears 

Be happy that we had so many years 

I gave you my love and you can only guess 

How much you gave me in happiness 

I thank you for the love you have shown 

But now it’s time I travelled on alone 

But grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must 

Then let your grief be comforted by trust 

It’s only for a while that we must part 

So bless the memories while in your heart 

I won’t be far away, for life goes on 

So, if you need me, call and I will come 

Though you can’t see me or touch me, I’ll 

be near 

And 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’ll greet you with a smile and say, 

welcome home 

From, Carolyn and Kedean 

Your life was a blessing, your memory was 

a treasure, you are loved beyond words and 

missed beyond measure Enya. I really do 

miss you Enya, our times at Golf and our time 

bonding together. I’m still trying to come 

to the fact that you’re not here with me/us 

anymore. When you left, you gained new 

wings. I was heartbroken at losing you, but 

you were needed more in heaven. The worst 

emotion is having to miss someone that’s no 

longer with you. I miss you badly, but I know 

you’re in a better place. I Love you so much 

Enya baby. 

Tashie Gazader 

I’ve known Enya for about 15 years. I first came across her at friendship primary school track & field 

training where my little brother was a part of the track team a couple of years ago. Down the line, 

although she lived in the community, we didn’t frankly exchange words at the time. Years later blew 

out and I found myself playing football in the surroundings where she lived with most of my friends and 

some of her cousins. Sometimes her mom would join in the fun of the game also. But when Enya would 

come on the field it would be a game of laughter and excitement lol! Someone would tell her to pass 

the ball, she would kick it as hard as she can with her big toe lol. She would sometimes run away from 

the opposition who’s coming in with a tackle. We would sometimes get angry with her but at the end of 

the day, it’s just a game of enjoyment and exercise and it wasn’t a dull moment when she’s on the field. 

During my years of working with her uncle (Boogie), she would sometimes ask him to come to work with 

him in a joking way but trust me she was serious about it. Boogie would take it for a joke, but one day he 

gave her a chance to come to work and she did mean business. She helped out a lot, but she would ask 

a lot of questions. The one that had everyone laughing is when she asked Boogie, “Wah time we aguh 

eat lunch?” Boogie himself wasn’t in a good mood that day, but what she said and how she said it made 

everybody in the van start laughing that day. Enya was curious, fearless, and funny. I can still remember 

the last time I saw her. I was making fun of her asking her if she wasn’t gonna grow and she would laugh 

and smile and she asked me if I had left the country because she hasn’t caught sight of me in a long while. 

She was such a meek soul with admirable intellect. I am sorry to say may her soul dance in heavenly 

peace. The life of the one we love is never lost. Its influence goes on through all the lives it ever touches. 

Goodbyes are not forever, are not the end; it simply means I’ll miss you until we meet again. 

Your friend, Sterling/rahyme.

MY DEAR Eyna, if tears could build a stairway and memories were land, we would walk right up to 

heaven and bring u back again, no farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye you were gone 

before we knew it and only God know why. Enya you were stronger than you know, braver than you 

believe and smarter than you think and loved more than you know. You will never be forgotten. Sleep 

well sweet girl. 

Prayer for Kayeann 

Father God, I pray you will guard her heart and mind against the lies of the enemy and unintentionally 

harmful comments from others who haven’t walked in her shoes and don’t understand the grief she’s 

feeling. Father, you are the God of all comfort, please comfort her heart right now. You will be the lifter 

of her head; you will remind her how very much she and her precious children are loved and will you tend 

to the desires of her heart. We know that your word says, you love to lavish good gifts on your children; 

lavish your love on her today. God heal the hurt and wound she feels. Do not let Kayeann’s pain go 

in vain. 

AMEN 

Nicole Roland Aka Nikki 

Hey Enya, 

Just cannot believe that you’re gone. When I 

first heard of what happened, I just couldn’t 

believe, and I refuse to believe. It was like 

yesterday when you were here at my house 

sleeping over, I could hear your laughter 

and you enjoying yourself. I could see all of 

that on you growing into a beautiful young 

lady. You had so much going on for you, and 

then it was all taken away, but I know that 

you’re gonna gain a lot where ever you go. I 

am so proud of you girl and all that you have 

achieved. I know your mom is very proud of 

you too. I know your mom loves you, and we 

all love you too. 

Enya! I am going to miss you girl, I really am. 

I am going to miss seeing you passing the 

gate. 

Life is out there waiting on you sweet angel, 

and it is going to be beautiful out there, 

because you have a beautiful soul. So, take 

care until I see you again. 

Some people come into our lives and leave 

a footprint on our hearts, and we are never 

ever the same. You were one of those 

persons Enya. You will never really know the 

true impact you have on those around you. 

Death is painful, however death taking a 

precious jewel like you is more painful. You 

were a young lady with a good heart who 

cared so much about friends and family. 

You contributed to the development of 

every single person you met on your path 

and never ceased to be an inspiration to all. 

You were without a doubt a great person. 

You were intelligent, discerning, attentive, 

and full of knowledge. You showed so much 

compassion and displayed a lot of humility. 

So much, that everyone of use seeks to 

emulate you. Your loving memory will ever 

remain a monument in our hearts. 

Perisa 

Andrea Hall 

Enya, my happiness, my joy, wish you didn’t have to go so early. I wish that I could tell you I’m not ready 

to let you go. But you’ve already departed, and my heart is feeling so low. I miss that little twinkle that 

used to light up your eyes. And I miss the sound of your voice, your laughter, and your sighs. But most 

of all, I miss the way you made me feel. There are others here who miss you and they’ve gathered here 

today. Your life touched so many people who became your friends along the way. They want you to know 

they love you too And they’re filled with sadness and grief. No one really wants to say goodbye So we’ll 

just wish you eternal peace. 

From yours truly, 

Leahcim Anderson

When I lost you, her mother would say. I wish I could see you one more time, Come walking through the 

door, But I know that is impossible, I will hear your voice no more. 

MOTHER KAYEANN DORMER 

She would wish to say to my mother. I know you can feel my tears and you don’t want me to cry, Yet, my 

heart is broken because I can’t understand why someone so precious had to die. I pray that God will give 

me strength and somehow get me through 

As I struggle with the heartache. That came when I lost you. 

ENYA ELISSA ENGLISH 

She would wish to say to my brother, Dimitri English don’t cry for me I will be okay I am where I belong. 

I want you to be happy and try to stay strong. Don’t cry for me it was just my time for I didn’t have no 

fear, God take away all my pain it’s gone, Jesus took my tears. Please don’t cry for me. 


She would wish to say to father Paul English please don’t cry for me daddy. I know that you loved me 

with all of your heart and that none of you wanted me to depart. I don’t quite understand it myself. But I 

know you’ll get by with a little help. 


she would wish to say to your mother. 

If I could come back for just one day 

I know exactly what I would say. 

To my mother, yes I would say to be sad for a day and to do what you need to do. And then lift up your 

eyes to the wonder of the sky and know that I love you too. 


She would wish to say to family and friends. If I could come back for just one day. I know exactly what 

I would say to you my family and friends and those who I loved as a message for God who speaks from 

above. I would say it’s okay to be sad for a while. But what I really want most is to see your smile And for 

you to go on live once again. Allowing the lord to comfort your pain. 


Would wish to leave these few words to you all. When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to 

see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me I wish so much you wouldn’t cry 

the way you did today. While thinking of the many things. We didn’t get to say I know how much you 

love me. As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. When 

tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart. For every time you think of me, I’m right here in 

your heart. This is for you family and friends. Acts 2:38 Repent and be baptized every one of you in the 

name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy spirit. 

1 Thessalonians 5:11 

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 

Love you all.

Enya English you were such a Beautiful soul, 

kind and thoughtful even in your darkest 

hour. 

Enya even though you gone to be with your 

heavenly father, you will never forgotten. 

You have touched our lives in many, many, 

many different ways. May your beautiful 

soul REST in ETERNAL PEACE.... 

Enya was like a little sister to me. She’s 

always smiling. If you need assistance with 

anything she’s always willing to help. Such a 

wonderful soul. I really miss her. It bothers 

me to see that she’s no longer with us, but 

God knows best. May her soul Rest In Peace 

Akeel Hall 

Tasceanna Walker 

The first time I saw this child it was her smile that got my attention. I asked, whose child is that and was 

asked you don’t know Kayeann? And my response was yes, and I was told that’s Kayeann’s daughter. 

From then, onward if I don’t remember her name, I would address her as Kayeann daughter to which 

she would answer, “Yes, Ms. Joan” and a smile. Anyone who knew her and interacted with her could see 

she was destined for greatness (a productive and blooming tree whose growth was cut short). She was a 

respectful, intelligent, multi-talented, jovial but yet quiet young miss. Rest well Princess. God needed a 

Shining Star. 

Elizabeth Dale 

Life is not the same as it was. All now I 

don’t play a decent game of French because 

you aren’t there. Your presence makes a 

difference. Love you, Enya. 

Christopher (family friend) 

My memory of Enya is her love for playing 

dominoes, especially French, and how she 

would normally get excited and loud while 

playing. Enya was meant to be the best of 

us regardless of her time spent with us. I’ll 

always keep my fun memories of her smile 

and energetic vibe. 

Family friend, 

Sheldon 

Enya is smart, intelligent girl. She always 

happy. I love to see her smile and Enya 

you are always in our heart. You are the 

angel in heaven looking down on us with a 

smile. 

Friends and family always love you. Miss you! 

Nyssa 

ENYA is intelligent, smart, she’s always 

inside. You’re an angel looking from heaven 

down on us. Fly high, Enya 

Zowie 

Enya was a kind-hearted, quiet, and genuine person. Whenever she’s home or not, you never can know 

because she is always inside if she’s not at school or church. She was a very smart girl who was really 

dedicated to her books and church, and that was something I admire as her neighbor. Such a pleasant girl. 

She was always smiling. Whenever I am washing, I could always call on her to give me some water from 

the pipe. Sometimes I would ask “Enya u tyad a mi?” Then she would smile and say, “no, mi nuh tyad, 

dat good man.” That’s how reliable she was. I knew she would have been a success story, God took her 

because he had greater plans for her. So, yes, we do miss her a lot, but heaven was needing an angel, and 

Enya, that’s you. Gone, but will never be forgotten. Fly high Enya, may your soul rest in peace.

Kadean Coote

A flower was planted, watered with love, started to grow as a little sprout, nourished, cared for and 

blossom, was just about to produce the greatest sweetest flower. Enya was just a little flower bud in the 

prime of her life. She will be remembered for her pleasant smile, mild manner, discipline, loving child of 

God, always encouraging and supporting. Enya was one child that was all about her education, she always 

excels at whatever she does. 

As a child growing up, she was always holding on to her mother and Dimitri her brother could do no 

wrong, she just loves him above and beyond. I remember the last time we saw her on July 8, 2022, she 

supported my daughter’s Pizza Sale, she was the prettiest little flower one could ever see, I said, “Hey 

Enya you are truly a beauty.” She smiled and said, “Aunty I took my picture package today.” She looked 

so radiant and with her sweet voice said, “Thanks, Aunty.” 

On July 19th, Kayeann sent me a voice message to pray for Enya. She explained that Enya wasn’t well, 

and you know I petition heaven on her behalf. A few days later I was told Enya was feeling a little better. 

I was truly grateful to God. Only to find out she took ill again. I was called again and this time she was 

admitted in the hospital I prayed so hard, I plea, I beg God and just cry out my heart to God as a mother. 

Enya was just a different kind of person, never quit, never give up, always giving God glory. I will always 

love Enya as my very own. Let us remember Enya as the beautiful flower that she truly was. Enya from 

Kenya that was the name Judith called her and of course we did the same. 

E is for Everlasting Daisy one of the best flowers that ever bloomed. 

N is for Nigella, a flower called love in the mist, a beautiful pink rose. 

Y is for yellow archangel, a beautiful yellow flower. 

A is for Angel’s Trumpet, which blooms September to November. 

These beautiful flowers depict a beautiful garden that was truly what ENYA’s life embody. She will always 

be remembered as a garden made by God which in its season, picked with the hand of God. Sleep on 

sweet flower, you will truly be missed. Heaven sent for you, but your life was well spent. 

To her mother, Kayeann, you are indeed a great Warrior. Keep praising God. My mother always say 

Kayeann is my daughter, and she is a blessing to all. 

To her brother Dimi, keep trusting God. You have come this far by faith and your best is yet to come. 

To her Grandma Aunty Polly, trust God my dear. Please turn your eyes upon Jesus, he is your only 

source. 

To the rest of the family, trust God. Believe that God has allowed this to be a wakeup call to the family. 

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let 

not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 

God bless you all.

Our Questionnaire 

This is not just questions for you are God, but questions to the entire universe and mother nature itself. 

We ask, why such a beautiful and pure soul? Why this contagious smile? Better yet why Auntie Kayeann 

and Paul’s only girl child? 

We often have to remind ourselves that we are on a new journey that requires our utmost strength in 

order to stay focused. 

Enya, we promise you that we will never leave her side and we are now committed to her now more than 

ever. At least we know that will keep you smiling whenever you look down on us. 

The silence is deafening not hearing your random laugh, not smelling fries being air fried in the kitchen. 

Can someone, anyone, seriously provide answers for the purpose of our healing and mental stability? 

Let me answer for you all, NO! You can’t and you never will. This is very, very unfair. 

Rest in Heaven to the most beautiful soul I know. 

Denise and Jovanni Hyde 

You rest in the arms of angels 

In a place of peace 

Watching over us always 

From heaven above. 

You guide us through our journeys 

And help us through each day 

Always by your mother’s side 

You never went away. 

This bond that mother and daughter has 

Can never be broken 

Made from love so pure 

Death does not break this bond 

It lives on forever more. 

You rest in the arms of an angel 

Free from illness and pain 

Waiting for that day 

Where we meet once again. 

For the short time I have known Enya 

She impressed upon me the spirit of being humble. 

A young lady gifted with the ability to 

Do well, she will forever be in my mind as an eagle 

with a kind and gentle soul. 

Revelation 21: 4 

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: 

And there shall be no more death, 

Neither sorrows, nor crying, neither shall be any 

more pain: 

For the former things are passed away. 

Avril Merchant 

Nothing is more painful in this world than 

losing someone you love so deeply. Some 

truths in life are very hard to accept. I 

won’t see you smile, and I won’t hear you 

laugh anymore because time wasn’t on 

your side. It isn’t right!! Your memories 

will never be forgotten, you have touched 

countless lives, and today you leave a void 

in our hearts no one can fill, SLEEP IN 

PEACE ENYA 

Erecka Henry Riley 

Dear lord please take care of my little Enya 

for me yes, the one with big eyes and short 

black hair. I can remember she used to ask 

me for things when she needed it. Now 

there is no need that she is with you, so let 

her know that she is special as you already 

know, she touched the hearts of everyone 

she knows. God tell her that letting her go 

is so hard, make her know that I can still 

remember her smile, it could brighten up 

the darkest room. I just wish you didn’t 

have to take her so soon; God make Enya 

know that I miss her day and night. I used 

to text her and ask if her mom was there, 

who do I text now that you have taken her 

home? 

Sleep Enya English that’s how I would call 

her. 

Keresha Murray 

Enya, what an imprint your footprint has left upon our hearts. Your life was a blessing and your memory a 

treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Sleep in peace baby girl.

Nadine Brown (friend)

School

The best thing about this short girl was her smile and 

ability to make everyone happy. I can still remember 

how she used to make me smile on my darkest days. 

For that I’m forever thankful to you, Enya. Training 

has always been hard, but you find a way to make 

training fun with your weird questions without even 

trying. I remember when we finally made a final for 

champs. She was so happy. Her words were “Who 

fi tell we seh wi cyaan wear finals jersey.” That day I 

took a million pictures just because Enya wanted me 

to remember this milestone of our life. Thanks for 

being the best training partner and friend I could ask 

for Enya. I hope you knew how much we loved and 

appreciated you. 

Nehlia Mills 

Enya my G still can’t believe you’re 

gone. Cannot lie, you are always 

laughing, always at school beating 

we at the game French. There are so 

many other things to say but I just 

want you to know that we miss you 

and the whole L.O.E love you. Enya 

always helped me with my school work 

and encouraged me to be successful 

L.O.E. Family 

Jah know star, more time you take for granted all the time you spend with your friend them, now them 

gone. Enya never have I imagined that a day would come when I’m here writing you this tribute. Over 

the years I’ve known you, you’ve become more of a family than a friend. The news hit me and put me in a 

state of disbelief because you’re young. Vibrant, jovial and fun Enya just take her wings and gone just so. 

On August 18, 2022 2:19 pm you text me and say, “ You’ll text me when you feel better” and a couple 

hours later mi get a text say you gone. 

You know what? Let’s not dwell on the fact that you’re not here but those four years of friendship. You 

leaving without a proper goodbye hurt me to the deepest core but I just want you to know I love and miss 

you, My G , My sister, My teammate. 

Rest in heavenly peace my friend. 

I hope the angels know what they have. I bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you’ve arrived. 

Love, Amanda 

My loving friend, thank you for all the 

laughter and happiness you brought 

into my life. You were always willing to 

help, always there whenever I needed 

to talk about anything. You were so 

genuine that the love was always 

reciprocated. You have taught me to 

never give up and to always press on 

no matter the situation and for that, 

I will forever be grateful. I’ll forever 

miss you brightening up my day. 

Your sister, Shekada. 

Enya We all miss u bby g. When I heard that 

you’re no longer here with us, I couldn’t even sleep. 

I didn’t even get the chance to say I love u, and 

goodbye. I’m still in disbelief Enya you have a 

bright future ahead of u, big dreams and big plans 

and u just gone like that bby g. But just know say 

Dannefer love u so much. U wouldn’t even know the 

love I have for u and how much I miss u pumpkin. 

Sleep in peace I know we’ll all remember you 

even though you’re not longer here with us. 

Heaven just gained another sweet angel and I 

hope the angels know what they have. 

Dannefer Honeygon 

You never said goodbye and only God knows why 

So as memories of the past revive in our mind 

Give us strength and time to try and articulate what a wonderful friend Enya was 

For weeping for someone as lovely as her could’ve stayed longer. 

Wish you never had to leave this early 

But this is the truth that is always hard to accept, the memories shared will forever be remembered. Rest 

in peace my friend.

Enya English has been known to me personally from 2018 when she entered my Principles of Accounts 

class. She was the smallest in the group but had the strongest voice. She was a very pleasant and 

determined student, who always aimed for excellence and was never afraid of saying “miss me nuh 

understand”. It did not bother me at all, and I was always willing to teach all over again for her. It was a 

great thrill for me when she was successful in her CXC Principles of Accounts and was later promoted 

to Sixth Form where I taught her for two years. Enya was always the first to text or call me when she 

received her results. However, this year was different. 

My fondest memory of Enya was on Teachers’ Day May 2022, when she came with all smiles and 

presented me with a fresh cut red rose and a personal made card. The rose was so beautiful I kept in my 

refrigerator for days. I cherished that moment to this day. I am happy that this occasion was captured on 

video, which I kept playing over and over again, cannot believe she is really gone. 

I will always remember her cheerful ways and her lovely smile. 

Rest well, Enya.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 

3 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. 

Now, this is your time to rest my sister our precious gem. There was never a dull moment around you, 

always smiling or telling a joke. 

Your go too hairstyle was putting your hair in two and from that, I called you little puff. They were so little 

and made you cute. 

Beauty with the brains, you are such a brilliant girl whenever I needed help, I could come to you, and you 

wouldn’t turn me away. 

Can’t forget math class with you because you made learning fun. 

In accounts class you were the star, building the competition in class and making everyone else excited to 

learn and participate in class. 

When it was finally CXC time you called us late nights and early mornings, me a talk some bad 2 o’clock 

or 3 o’clock and after we better go sleep because we have to wake the next morning for school and at 

school, before the exam, you would drill us multiple times because at the end of the day you wanted us to 

pass. 

Don’t forget when school over a the first bus you a catch to go home lol 

home you gone. 

or after practice straight 

Gone too soon and wasn’t able to accomplish most of your dreams and for that we will continue to make 

you proud Enya. 

There’s so much to say but words seem lost to me now. A true friend is never truly gone. Their spirit 

lives on in the memories of those who loved them. There will come a point when I will be able to look 

back at our memories together and smile. 

I know we’ll all remember her even though she’s no longer with us. 

Let’s make sure she’s never forgotten. 

Love, Scarlett

Enya! Enya! Words will never be enough to express how much she enjoyed being in our presence. She 

wanted so much to be successful in all she set her heart to. Admiration for her teachers, coaches, peers, 

and teammates was not enough for her. She wanted them to know how much she enjoyed being around 

them. Her infectious smile and joy to be around will always be remembered. You have not left, you have 

just exchanged the place you came and saw for one made even better, a resting place in your Creator’s 

arms. 

Ms. R Salmon 

Former Head of Sports Merl Grove High 

Enya : I call your name and it just makes me smile always. You are a perfect example of how to enjoy life. 

Free spirited, laughing at the silliest of things, never angry, always seeing the best in others, hard worker, 

never afraid to try something new even if it is not your thing and doing it with a smile. Joyful expression 

was who you are. Christ made you special at showing others how life should be lived. Laughing, smiling, 

living each day as if it was your last. Nothing seemed to be a bother to you just ending a moment in a day 

and returning the next, not missing a beat, demonstrating how to have a really fun day and time. I taught 

you how to hurdle, and not one day or time did you complain just took the challenge and ran with it. Run 

on my child, enjoy your moment, dance in his presence, smile as you wave to us. As we try to laugh one 

more time with you as you take your rest. 

Coach GBourah 

A heart of gold implanted in such a beauty 

We enjoyed every moment shared with you 

Your smiles are pure like water from the well and 

your words are true 

Your personality is filled with excitement, joy 

and madness 

Merl Grove wi come from 

*Yuh dun know di badness* 

Your memories will live on in our hearts 

The love we share will never set us apart. 

Thank you for your love and the smiles you put 

on our faces around you. 

Nuff love from kushii, Chezii, Chas, and Parry 

Enya was such a sincere, honest, and 

trustworthy friend. Enya has looked out for me 

ever since I started at Merl Grove High School. 

Even before that we went to the same primary 

although we were in two different grades, 

the teacher allowed me to stay in their class 

sometimes because my uncle was in that class. 

That’s how I met Enya. I saved a place for you in 

my heart. And your memory will always live on. 

God as gained another angel.

A priceless gift of love, light and zest for life is what you’ve been to me. 

You’ll forever live and be loved in my heart and mind for eternity. 

With love from earth to heaven above. 

Mrs. Cecile Blake, 

Grade 2 teacher whilst at Friendship Primary School 

I taught Enya for over 5 years when she was a student of Friendship Primary School and an active 

member of the dance group where we participated in the JCDC dance competition and won several 

medals. 

Back then, she was so tiny and feisty. I figured she was just making up for her size. I always wondered if 

she would grow and that she did into a beautiful young lady. She had such a bright future ahead of her. 

She was humble, focused and knew what she wanted. I still can’t believe she’s gone but......

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to weep, and a 

time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. 

Enya Elissa English….. Belle amie! A beautiful soul is who you were. We had so many memories, dreams 

and things we wanted to do and accomplish. If anyone knew Enya well, she always wanted to become 

an Auditor or an Accountant. She was always jovial, Ms. Picture Perfect, always smiling, talking and 

laughing. Enya and I shared so many memories over the past few years. If y’all know the Jamaican term 

“batty and bench” that is who were. Always together, no matter where I go or she go even if it’s on the 

phone we would still be together. I remember one time we were on mid-term break. Enya went to a hotel 

she called me right through her stay at the hotel. She called me when she reached, eating, even when she 

was taking pictures, I was still on the phone with her. 

We spent most of our memories at school. Enya was a scholar, she doesn’t play about her work. Enya 

was one who would sometimes lapse in class but when it’s work time Enya always knows what to do. 

Sometimes I would say to her “my girl nuh you just did a sleep, so how you know wah fi do?” and she 

would just laugh you know her sneaky little laugh and say “nuh worry your head” and I was there all along 

paying attention and still don’t understand. We were always doing TikTok, just making memories and 

making each other laugh. Enya was kind, caring, genuine, and straightforward. Enya will tell you the truth 

and nothing but the truth. We never had a disagreement. If there was ever something between us we 

would just sit and talk. Enya was like my sister. I would look out for her and she would do the same 

for me. 

Little did we knew that night that God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do 

the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For a part of us went with you. You 

left us with beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, you are always 

by our side. 

REST IN PERFECT PEACE OUR ANGEL 

Shenice Campbell 

Through our strengths and weaknesses, we have faced together in our life’s journey, the many obstacles 

that came our way to pull us down, we persevered. You were energetic and fun to be around, even though 

at times you troubled me, along with Shenice and others. Through the many years I have known you, 

there has never been a dull moment. Every laugh brings tears of joy and sadness. You were a friend I 

could count on to encourage me and pull me back up when I stumbled or fell. At times, I know how 

forgetful you can be without having me constantly remind you of a couple things here and there. I have 

so much admiration for you, and I would like to thank you for shaping me into a better version of myself, 

and I know you would have continued to do so as well. You were there for me when I lost the only parent I 

had left, constantly checking in to ask if I was alright as well as bringing a smile to my face when I 

felt down. 

I won’t cry knowing you’re here with me. It may not be physically, but I know you’re here spiritually as 

well as in my heart. Your love will never be forgotten. We know you are watching over us. 

Georgia Grenyion 

Your life was a blessing, your life was a 

treasure. You are loved beyond words and 

missed beyond measures. May your sweet 

soul Rest In Peace. 

Kimone Ewen 

Enya was an intelligent little ball of energy. She 

will be remembered by her bright smile. The 

impact you left on your generation will forever 

live on. Sleep in peace Enya.
