ENID MAUD PEREZ

ENID MAUD PEREZ AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN TO ALL AS (AUNT MAY) WAS A LOVING MOTHER AND DEVOTED GRANDMOTHER BORN ON MARCH 15, 1923 AND SPENT MOST OF HER LIFE BETWEEN THE SUNNY SHORES OF JAMAICA AND LONDON ENGLAND.

ENID WAS BORN TO EDWARDO PEREZ OF CUBA AND CLEMENTINA FORD A JAMAICAN WHO RESIDED IN CUBA. SHE WAS THE YOUNGEST OF THREE SIBBLINGS CLINTON AND HAZEL WHO PRECEEDED HER IN DEATH.

ENID SPENT HER YOUNGER YEARS IN THE DISTRICT OF PALMYRA LOCATED ON THE SOUTH COAST OF JAMAICA WHERE SHE WAS A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN - CRUSADER WHO TRAVELED THROUGHT THE COUNTRY MINISTERING AND CARING FOR THOSE IN NEED.

WITH STRONG MATERNAL INSTINCTS CARED AND MOTHERED MANY CHILDREN IN HER COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO MAY HAVE LOST A MOTHER OR FATHER ALONG THE WAY.

HER STRONG BIBLICAL TEACHINGS WERE ATTRIBUTED TO HER GROWING UP IN A RECTORY WITH HER AUNT ADA SIMPSON AND UNCLE THE LATE REVEREND HERBERT SIMPSON LOCATED IN ST. CATHERINE JAMAICA.

ENID WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT AGRICULTURE, NATURE, THE ECO SYSTEM IN GENERAL AND HAD THE BEST GREEN THOMB THE WORLD OVER.

AFTER MANY YEARS OF SERVICE AS A MISSIONARY SERVING DIVERSE COMMUNITIES, SHE DECIDED TO TAKE HER CALLING TO THE UNITED KINGDOM.

BY THIS TIME A SLIGHT SHIFT STARTED TO TAKE PLACE IN HER LIFE AND SHE YEARNED TO BECOME A MOTHER AND TO HAVE A FAMILY OF HER OWN.

AS FAITH WOULD HAVE IT, DURING HER VOYAGE BY SHIP TO ENGLAND SHE MET THE MOST HANSOME, CHARMING AND CARISMATIC IVAN CAIN WHO STOLE HER HEART, LATER MARRIED AND THE UNION PRODUCED THREE CHILDREN A SON SAMUEL AND TWO DAUGHTERS VIRGINIA AND JOY.

THIS UNION ALSO BROUGH HER A LOVING EXTEDED FAMILY DORIS POWELL OF ENGLAND AND HER FOUR CHILDREN WHO WERE ALL FOND OF THEIR "AUNT MAY"

DURING HER YEARS IN LONDON ENID CONTINUED HER QUEST FOR HIGHER LEARNING AND DELEVOPED HER SKILLS AS A CULENARY & PASTRY CHEF.

SHE LATER JOINED THE ESTEEMED ESTABLISHMENT OF J. LYONS AND COMPANY WHERE SHE EXECUTED EXCELLENT AWARD WINNING SERVICE UNTIL HER DEPARTURE BACK TO JAMAICA.

ENID ALWAYS WANTED HER CHILDREN TO HAVE A SENSE OF CARIBBEAN PRIDE AND CULTURE AND DECIDED TO RETURN WITH HER HUSBAND AND THREE CHILDREN IN TOE TO SET UP HOME AGAIN IN HER PIECE OF PARADISE (JAMAICA).

(ENID AUNT MAY) HAPPINESS CAME TO A PEAK WHEN SHE STARTED TO HAVE GRAND CHILDREN A TOTAL OF EIGHT.

CLEOPATRA RICHARDS, SEBASTIAN MURRAY, SEBASTIAN RICHARDS, DANUSH MURRAY, ELGAR RICHARDS, VIRGINIA MURRAY, AIESHA MAY CAIN AND SAMARA CAIN. (USA & UNITED KINGDOM RESPECTIVELY)

SHE TOOK THE ROLE OF GRANDMA DUTIES VERY SERIOUSLY AND USED EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH HER GRANDCHILDREN ABOUT THE BIBLE, HUMILITY AND LOVE FOR HUMANITY REGARDLESS OF BELIEFS AND OR RACE ACROSS ALL NATIONS. (NEVER CEASING TO REMIND US ABOUT GODS FURRY CHILDREN TOO.

SHE LATER HAD DOUBLE THE JOY WITH THE GIFT OF FIVE GREAT GRAND CHILDREN DEANDRE, KEIRAH, IMANI, HUGO AND TYLER. (USA & ENGLAND)

AUNT MAY) WAS SELFLESS, NON JUDGEMENTAL, SPIRITUAL AND CARED FOR ALL WHO CAME IN CONTACT WITH HER.

SHE INTRODUCED HER CHILDREN TO MELODIES AND SONGS VERY EARLY AND HAD THE VOCAL CAPABILITY OF AN ANGEL.

SHE SHARED THE DEEPEST RESPECT FOR THE ANIMAL KINGDOM SHE WAS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS CAUSE SHE OFTEN TREATED THEM JUST AS WELL AS HER OWN CHILDREN.

VISITING HER HOME WAS ALWAYS A TREAT, ABUNDANT FOOD SUPPLY TO SHARE WITH HER FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS.

SHE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT WHEN A GUEST VISITS HER HOME THEY SHOULD HAVE AT THE VERY LEAST A CUP OF TEA AND DESSERT BUT MOST OFTEN THEY WOULD HAVE A FULL MEAL AS YOU WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE OTHERWISE.

IT ALSO DID NOT MATTER IF YOU WERE A SERVICE OR REPAIR PERSONNELL YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE WITHOUT BREAKING BREAD.

THIS WOULD MORE OFTEN THAN NOT INCLUDE ADVICE ON THE FOLLOWING:

HOW TO MAKE YOUR WIFE HAPPY, HOW A WIFE SHOULD TREAT HER HUSBAND AS WELL AS FINDING AND HOLDING ON TO LOVE. (TIPS AND LESSONS..)

THIS CARRIED OVER TO ANIMALS, SHE NEVER TURNED AWAY STRAYS AND MADE SURE THEY TOO HAD WATER AND FOOD. HER FAVORITE SAYING "THEY TOO ARE GODS CHILDREN AND SHOULD BE TREATED WITH COMPASSION AND CARE.

AS SHE APPROACHED HER GOLDEN YEARS ENID REMINDED US OF CLEAN LIVING, THE FONDNESS AND IMPORTANCE OF OUR ECHO SYSTEM, THE CIRCLE OF LIFE, THE IMPORTANCE OF SOWING GOOD SEEDS THAT OU BLESSINGS WILL PASS FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION AS SHE WAS SO ENRCHED WITH BLESSINGS AND GOOD HEALTH UP TO THE LAST THREE YEARS OF HER LIFE.

HER HEART BECAME WEAKER BUT HER WILL WAS THAT OF A LIONESS AT 92 YEARS OF AGE.

SHE LOOKED FORWARD TO VISITS WITH HER SPIRITUAL LEADER JOSHUA HUANG AND A FAMILY FRIEND WHO WOULD ENGAGE HER IN PRAYERS AND WORSHIP.

ENID''S CIRCLE OF LIFE AS A WIFE, A MOTHER, A GRAND MOTHER, GREAT GRANDMOTHER AND SISTER GAVE HER THE WISDOM OF ACCEPTANCE AND THE TOLLERANCE OF JOBE.

OUR LIVES CHANGED FOREVER ON TUESDAY JULY 21, 2015.

THOUGH WE ARE HEARTBROKEN AND FILLED WITH PAIN YOUR MEMORIES AND TEACHINGS LIVE ON IN EACH OF US UNTIL WE SEE YOU AGAIN.

ALSO MISSED BY YOUR FURRY CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN HARRY, JACKIE, BRUCE, SYLVESTER, LADY AND BONZEYE.
