To Minister Morris'Family,
Mother Morris had such a warm and kind spirit. She will truly be missed. Once I had a nagging consistent backache and she prayed for me during the worship service, my back hasn't hurt since. I believed in her prayers. Thank God for people who are full of faith and she was one of them. Family be strong; she has transitioned to get her reward.
