Of Rock Hall, St. Thomas; formerly of Clapham, Christ Church and London, UK.
Parents of Maria Corbin, Joan Grimes, Cecil Scott, the late Deryck and David Scott;
Grandparents of Denise and Ian Corbin, Andrea Power, Jonathan, Matthew and Wayne Scott, and seven others;
Great grandparents of Kofi Symmonds and many others;
Cherished members of St. Marks Methodist Church (Tottenham) and Providence Methodist Church.
To these whom death again did wed
This grave ‘s the second marriage-bed.
For though the hand of Fate could force
‘Twixt soul and body a divorce,
It could not sever man and wife,
Because they both lived but one life.
Peace, good reader, do not weep;
Peace, the lovers are asleep.
They, sweet turtles, folded lie
In the last knot that love could tie.
Let them sleep, let them sleep on,
Till the stormy night be gone,
And the eternal morrow dawn;
Then the curtains will be drawn,
And they wake into a light
Whose day shall never die in night.
(Richard Crashaw 1612-1649)
Funeral arrangements for the late Irvine Elkanah Scott and his faithful partner and loving wife of 75 years, Olga Eltina Scott were entrusted to Downes & Wilson Funeral Home, Eagle Hall, St Michael.
