Dear Ginny Morris, Dawn & John, Ali & Mandy, May we express our deepest sympathy and may the abundance of love & prayers comfort you. May the Lord’s hands cradle you with your warmest and loving memories providing you a healing strength for the many days ahead. You have been greatly blessed with a lifetime of good fortune filling your hearts with joys shared with a very special loving Husband, Father, & Grandaddy Da. Often in the years ahead, there will be moments you will be distracted from your busy lives – a sudden overwhelming warmth of sunshine or a bright moon glow or the quick glimpse of a beautiful hummingbird, butterfly, or a special sea shell will appear among hundreds, or a remembrance of a sweet smile heard with a single word “Babe" - those unexpected moments (usually a moment very needed) - this will be your Loving Guardian Angel Your Husband, Your Father & Your Granddaddy Da letting you know all is good & He sends you His Love, Courage and Strength from Heaven above. May you always remember to celebrate Life & His life, a gift & blessing, from Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Much Love, Dot Black, Benita & Family

I know Mr. Morriss is enjoying heaven and I am so happy for him. He was such an inspiration to me and my family. His faith and courage were awesome. I will miss you Mr. Morriss, but it is only for a little while. I am excited to know that he will greet me along with my Grandmother when I go home.
