WHEN I DIE*
When I die, be it by water, knife, fire, car, gun, COVID or cancer or while I lie in peaceful slumber, ask not why, and do not sigh for I shall soar beyond the grave and sky.
When I die –weep not, my family, my friends; my colleagues –raise not a lament nor dress in grief; ponder not what my lot will be, because when I die I shall be free. Yes, when I die arise and sing –sing soft and low like a wounded robin; sing loud and long like the happy Lark. Let the music play beat the drums, let them echo with praise, give thanks, rejoice … For when I die, I shall not die but live on and on … and on …

It was the Greek Philosopher, Aristotle who once said, “death is the most terrible of all things, for it is the end, and nothing is thought to be either good or bad for the dead”. Though death marks the ends of one’s life, it is a natural part of the life cycle, where growth, prime, and decay follow each other inevitably.
Today we gather to celebrate the life of a great human being who has left an indelible mark on society. He was a caring, loving and kind individual who touched the hearts of everyone he encountered. His kindness is well known in his church community, his community where he was born and bred and the business community.
Peter’s compassion and empathy inspired those around him. He had a deep empathy for others, understanding their struggles and challenges. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, offering support and guidance when needed. His compassion touched countless lives, making a lasting impact on his church community, the JP Fraternity, and extension the wider community. His kindness and generosity created a ripple of love and warmth that will continue to be felt. Peter had a heart of gold, always putting others before himself. His kindness was contagious, spreading warmth and comfort to those around him. He was also a beacon of integrity, who lived a life of honesty and authenticity. He always stood by his words and they were his bond.
Peter was born in Grange Hill to Mable and George Scott. He grew up in the community of Truro, where he spent his childhood, adolescent and adult life. Peter’s early education started at the Grange Hill Primary School where he earned a scholarsh after passing his Common Entrance Examination. However, aft schooling Peter did not transition to a college or university like his year group because of financial constraints.

Consequently, he had to launch out in the world of work and secured a job at Nepaul’s Tyre Sales. While at this establishment he honed his business skills and became an entrepreneur. This ambitious man expanded his business through hard work and his financial wizardry.
He was indeed a philanthropist who was always willing to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate and rejected among us. His philanthropy is well known in the community where he was reared. His magnanimity was not just extended to his immediate family members but to other relatives and friends. He was someone who believed in education and would always encourage students in his church and the wider community to aim for the star as the sky was the limit in his eyes. His congenial personality was so inviting, which made him a loveable and a great human being.
We will all have to go on in life with the thought of his tenacity and fixity of purpose. But the rest of our life will continue to be happier and lighter because he has left us a legacy of immortal joy and happiness that comes from kindness and thrives in love.
His life was a testament to the power of compassion and integrity. We will miss him dearly, but his memory will continue to inspire us to live our lives with kindness and compassion.
In the weeks leading up to his passing we witnessed how his health had deteriorated. But his spirit was always there. He would always say “I am fighting this cancer”. His passing has left a void in the Scott’s Family, the church community and the wider community where he is well known which is going to be impossible to fill. He was indeed a gracious person who was committed to his church and the people who he served in the various positions in which he was asked to serve.

As we bid you farewell “Me G”, we take comfort in your memories, your work and worth and will carry your legacy forward striving to live up to the example you set for us.
According to Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, “death is simply a shedding of physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon”. Sleep on “Me G” ! Sleep On!
Peter is survived by his wife Marion, son Anton, siblings namely, Lloyd, Eugene, Marilyn, Pansy and John. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, and countless cousins.

Congregational Hymn …………………………… In the New Jerusalem
When the toils of life are over, And we lay our armor down, And we bid farewell to earth with all its cares, We shall meet and greet our loved ones, And our Christ we then shall crown, In the new Jerusalem. Refrain:
There’ll be singing, there’ll be shouting When the saints come marching home, In Jerusalem, in Jerusalem, Waving palms with loud hosannas As the King shall take His throne, In the new Jerusalem.
Tho’ the way is sometimes lonely, He will hold me with His hand, Through the testing and the trials I must go. But I’ll trust and gladly follow, For sometime I’ll understand, In the new Jerusalem.
When the last goodbye is spoken
And the tear stains wiped away, And our eyes shall catch a glimpse of glory fair, Then with bounding hearts we’ll meet Him Who hath washed our sins away, In the new Jerusalem.
When we join the ransomed army
In the summer land above, And the face of our dear Savior we behold, We will sing and shout forever, And we’ll grow in perfect love, In the new Jerusalem.

Song…………..........………………....…… The Best is Yet to Come
I am happy every day as I travel through this land I’ve been mighty blessed, By God I’m holding to his hand
My journey almost over, The battles nearly won I have a feeling in my heart; The best is yet to come.
Standing down on Jordan’s banks, As I face life’s chilly tide The storms of life are raging, But I’m happy down inside I see the life boat coming for to take me safely home I have a feeling in my heart; The best is yet to come.
Chorus
Oh, the best is yet to come when I walk through the heaven’s gates
For the first time I see Jesus I can hardly wait
He’ll show me to my mansion say child this is your home, I have a feeling in my heart; The best is yet to come.

“Another time, Another Place”
Thekindest,loveliest,mostselflessperson. Tomybestfriend,confidant,andhusb
You were always there for anyone in need.
There aren’t enough words or enough paper in the world to truly capture what you meant to us, but no one deserves a tribute more than you. We had so many dreams and plans for the future you wanted to do it all. My darling, I don’t know how I will survive without you by my side. Anyone who was lucky enough to meet you, whether they knew you as Peter, Brother Peter… to everyone, you were a hero. You treasured every moment and always had a smile on your face, no matter what.
I want to cry, to be angry, and to ask why illness took you away from us but even through my pain, I know how deeply you loved us and how much you wanted to keep us safe. You went the extra mile for everyone, especially for me and Anton. You were our rock, our calm in every storm, our source of joy and strength.
Thekindest,loveliest,mostselflessperson. Tomybestfriend,confidant,andhusb
The lights have dimmed in all of our lives now that you are no longer here. Yet, it’s no surprise that even in your absence, you continue to keep us going—because you would tell us to stay strong, to carry on, to live fully and love deeply. I can't begin to imagine life without your silly jokes, your warm hugs, our family holidays, and your unfailing optimism. You lifted me when I was down and cared for us until the very end.
We are all feeling lost without you, but we are trying our best to be as brave as you were. You have so many friends, my love, and everyone loved you. The messages, support, and kind words have been overwhelming. I’m so grateful for them, just as I’m grateful for the love you gave to all our families every single one.
Thekindest,loveliest,mostselflessperson.
Tomybestfriend,confidant,andhusband
You loved adventures. You were always seeking new places to explore, new moments to cherish. Whether it was a family holiday or cheering Anton on at a football match, you were there heart and soul.
You never sat still, never gave in, never gave up. You were so full of life. You could fix anything, build anything, and you never hesitated to help family, friends, or neighbours.
You were a pillar of strength to everyone who crossed your path.
My heart is broken without you, my sweetheart, but my God, I am so thankful you chose to share your incredible life with me.
You imprinted so much love and laughter onto all of our lives. I will never stop loving you, and I will forever be grateful for the happiest years of my life years spent with you by my side.
Thekindest,loveliest,mostselflessperson. Tomybestfriend,confidant,andhusband
You were the priest, provider, and protector of our home.
My love, you are gone too soon. But I take comfort in knowing you fought the good fight, finished your course, and kept the faith.
Remember the song you used to sing?
"I love You, Lord, for Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God."
We will miss you every day. You will forever be remembered as the best of us, the heart of our home, the light of our lives. I will carry your love with me always.
With all my love, Your wife, Marion, and your son, Anton.
