Ann,David,Greg and family. We share in your lost of Maurice. He was a wonderful husband and father. We will always miss our brother. He was truly loved by his family and friends. The world is a better place because of his being here with us. God has him now, and there's no more pain. I can just about here him there with the other country singers, having a blast singing together. Maurice, God is with you. Help him to watch over us till we'll be with you one day. Fran M.Wallace
