The following Letter to the Letter on the legacy of late D’Abadie/ O’Meara MP and former Arima Mayor Lisa Morris-Julian was submitted to Wired868 by Ancilla Kirby-Scott from Port of Spain:
In the depths of life’s brevity, we are cruelly reminded that our existence hangs by a fragile thread.
The shocking and untimely passing of Lisa Morris-Julian has carved an unfillable void, a heart-wrenching chasm that resounds with the echoes of her extraordinary life and boundless devotion.
As we cope with the weight of her absence, we are thrust into the haunting enigma of life, where the brightest, most vibrant souls are unceremoniously ripped from our grasp far too soon.

As we bid a heart-rending farewell to this extraordinary being, we draw solace in knowing she is embraced once more by her beloved grandmother, Carmen Purcell, a humble servant to the people in her own right. Together, they envelope us in their love from above, a cosmic connection that transcends the pain of our mourning.
Lisa’s father, Raymond Morris, also welcomed her into the warm embrace of the Lord, where she now basks eternally in love and light.
The Morris, Julian, and Purcell families—alongside colleagues, friends, and loved ones—stand united in their grief. We, as a community, are enveloped in sorrow for the loss of this remarkable human being.
Raymond died on 15 March 2024.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to all whose lives were graced by her presence, touched by her boundless love, and elevated by her profound wisdom. In the wake of this harrowing tragedy, we are painfully reminded of the imperative to savor every fleeting moment, every precious interaction, every sacred connection we forge with others.
Lisa’s life serves as a poignant reminder that our time on this earth is all too brief, an urgent call to make the most of it. As we navigate the path forward, we must strive to embody her selflessness, her compassion, and her relentless commitment to lifting others.
Ultimately, Lisa’s legacy will not be overshadowed by her untimely departure, but rather illuminated by the countless lives she touched, the spirits she healed, and the hope she ignited.

Nice remarks. She was a nice person who exuded love and kindness to those around her. I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but I was looking for something more concrete more nouns, less adjectives. And i’m sure they exist, for instance – what were her accomplishments as Mayor? her accomplishments as MP? what portfolio did she have at the MoE, and what were her accomplishments, what do her critics (e.g. the losing candidate) say about her?
