Grandpop, no words can express how much I miss you! I miss hearing your voice in the morning and you telling me to stay in "good health". I know God had a better plan for you and I am glad you are no longer suffering. I will always cherish the memories I we have shared and I thank God for giving me such a wonderful grandfather with tons of wisdom and love! Love always Momma (Totsy)

To The Morton Family;
May the good Lord keep his mighty arms around you as you grieve the loss of your dearly departed. I knew Mr.Raymond as the maintenance man when I was a young mother in Stanley Holmes Village. He was the only maintenance man who never complained or gave me a hard time no matter what my complaint. It was later that I had the pleasure of meeting some of his family. I pray that God will comfort you all!

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Raymond & Rosa...
Niece & Family
