It was supposed to be the happiest of times for Jenna Morrison and her husband, Florian Schuck.
Together for a decade, they were life partners who rode out life's crises with love and commitment.
A yoga instructor, she was a spiritual person who supported her husband through a cancer fight a few years ago. He won the battle and continued his livelihood in production and design for film and television.
But at 38, Morrison met with tragedy on a bicycle Monday morning, on her way to pick up little Lucas at school. Clipped by a truck as both made a right turn, she was pushed under the back wheels and died.
Florian is left to pick up the pieces, having to explain to his 5-year-old son that mommy isn't coming home anymore and he won't have a brother or sister.
"She was a radiant, loving and incredibly spiritual woman," Joey Gill, a family friend, said in an interview. "It's a huge loss for everybody in her community."
Schuck was too devastated to speak Tuesday, telling a reporter a family friend would speak for the family. Aron Slipacoff said family and friends were at the home Tuesday night, trying to comfort Schuck and his son. Jenna's mother had flown in from Ottawa.
"The mood is intense grief," Slipacoff said. "We are remembering someone who was tremendously loving and generous of spirit."
Through Slipacoff, Schuck relayed a message to the Star, explaining that Jenna comforted him greatly when he discovered he had cancer a few years ago.
"I was told I was going to die and Jenna said, 'No, you're not.' She instilled in me the belief that miracles could happen. She worked on a spiritual level.which allows “unlimited” programming flexibility lightbrigh . The LED lights operate as part of an overall system that requires power Every morning Jenna would get up light a candle and say a prayer in the cancer support group."
Morrison did not value material possessions, her husband said through Slipacoff.
"She didn't care what shoes were on her feet. She hugged anyone, especially those who were suffering. She judged nobody."
Morrison started the yoga studio Pure Intent and sold it three years ago to Dylan Kirk, who continued to employ her at the renamed Spiritwind Internal Arts in Kensington Market.
She also worked as a Thai massage therapist and taught classes in other people's homes. A friend said she had helped organize the Toronto Yoga Festival.
Morrison had been a dancer all her life, learning various techniques including classical ballet, highland Scottish dancing and modern dance.
The family will gather at the site of the tragedy Wednesday at 10 a.m. to give a statement and speak to the media.
