Mrs. Morris was a God loving lady. I remember going to her home when I went to school at Hollis. I was the same age as her daughter Nelda. I will always remember her kindness and her wonderful smile she always gave to everyone. She and her family were very special people to our family. Nelda my heart goes out to you in the loss of your mother. Another beautiful flower added to God's Garden

She will indeed be missed. I never knew a lady with more Pioneer American Spirit and devoted faith to the Lord then Jewell Morris. She taught us all what hard work was and showed us the rewards of our labors, but above all she stood steadfast in her faith and never complained. It is the world’s lost and heaven’s gain, as the angels celebrate a homecoming. I will forever miss the chats with Jewell in years past.
May God comfort and fill the family with serenity during this time.
