Remarks at the funeral of Eric Morrison
25th January 2014
St. Mark’s Church Fox Hill
Nassau, Bahamas - Once again it is my sad privilege and honour to address a funeral service. The funeral of Eric Morrison is the last of the four funerals that came out of the sad, senseless and tragic shooting of four people on 27th December 2013 on the Freedom Park here in Fox Hill. We are all saddened by the events. I am happy however that the funerals have come to an end without incident and that we have all been able to bury our loved ones in peace.
In the coming weeks, we will begin the design of a memorial to the fallen of Fox Hill for the Freedom Park and will be seeking community input and then there will be a ceremony to mark the occasion.
The death of these four people Shanique Sands, Eric Morrison, Claudzino Davis and Shaquille Demeritte is tragic. This has marked the community with an indelible sadness. The question is how to cope with grief.
When you contrast the happiness and the expectations of that night against the tragedy which occurred, you have to ask yourself the question why.
