Loris always had a smile on her face and a prayer in her heart. I'll miss seeing her sitting in the front pew at Mass, but know she'll be attending and sharing in Masses even more fully now. May all of her family be strengthened by the hope she and Jim found in the Roman Catholic faith, and through her friends and neighbors. It was a privilege to have known her. God bless,
Celine, et al

To the Morrissey family, Loris is a very special lady. She and Wendy had an awesome daycare which my kids were a joyous part of. Her heart was full of love for each and every child there, like they were all her grandchildren. My heart and prayers go out to the family, may God Bless you all with the wonderful memories that she gave us.

To a life well lived, she will always be remembered for the loving and kind hearted person that she was. For the love she gave her children and grandchildren but most of all, for that once in a life time love she shared with her husband. Many the years shared together, be of comfort you Mr. Morrissey in the days to follow.
