This site is dedicated to the memory of Octavia Morris.
It’s very difficult to condense Octavia’s colourful personality into a few lines.
Family and friends remember Occy’s infectious smile, warm hugs, joie de vivre and the energy and fresh thinking she brought to those who were lucky enough to come into contact and share their lives with her - friends who could rely on her in times of need and be assured of her total loyalty and support.
Conversations won’t be the same without Occy as we will all miss her creative spark, wit, originality and intelligence. Her abilities were varied and far-reaching - journalism, photography, interviewing creative and upcoming talents, and singing, to name but a few.
This is a page to celebrate Octavia’s life as well as to fundraise for Epilepsy Action in her memory. Specifically this fundraising is for the continuing development of risk management techniques to help other sufferers to live their lives to the full as she did, but at the same time paying due deference to the risks associated with their own personal circumstances, understanding those risks and adapting their lifestyle in order to minimise them to the greatest possible extent.
Please note that 0ctavia's Sunflower Fund web page is open to all others who wish to play an active role in supporting the cause for which the fund has been set up in her memory.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland

Our thoughts are with you at this time of year.

Rest In Peace, Octavia. I didn't know you personally—the name "Octavia Morris" randomly popped into my head, so I Googled it & you came up. I wish you were alive. You seemed like such an amazing person. Fly high, angel. You are loved & dearly missed.
