What does one say about a trailblazer, visionary and matriach such as Dr. Francine Morrison, who touched the lives of many around the world through the many talents God blessed her with such as: singing, preaching the gospel and sincerely loving God's children. I personally knew Dr. Morrison since my childhood of over 30+ years ago through my grandmother, Apostle Evelyn Malena, and God's Gospel Temple Church.

Dr. Morrison was an amazing woman who knew how to make each and every person she encountered feel special by simply talking with them. She had such a wonderful spirit and would speak with you no matter who you were, what age you were, and regardless of your race or gender. God truly blessed and allowed my family and I to encounter, fellowship with and walk along side one of His great Generals from His Army.

To the family, thank you for allowing your mother and loved one to be free and spread the love of Christ across the nation. We're praying for your continued healing and strength.

Love, the God's Gospel Temple family.

Today 57 years ago my mother named me "Francine" after her favorite gospel singer Francine Reese Morrison. When I saw of her passing on the news I was shock to find out that she lived so close. I am sadden to have never meet her so Today on my Birthday I will honor her as she is laid to rest and steps into eternal life. May God Bless her Family during this difficult time.

There are many things I could say about this "Song Bird of the South". She heard the call of the Lord, her work well done and now she's happy in her heavenly home. God bless the memory and the live she has touched.
