Sister Morrison and family,
I am so sad to hear of the passing of Bro. Morrison. You and Bro. Morrison were like second parents to me growing up here in Muncie. I always knew when I was down or needed a shoulder Bro. Morrison would be the one I could count on. Through out my life, his words of guidance and wisdom have come to mind to help me make choices that have helped in my time of need. He will be greatly missed by me and all who knew him.
With much love,

Rick Kiger
