Daddy was an awesome man of faith. While in the hospital God sent him so many angels. Each and every nurse, aid, or friend that came in to see him was touched by the never failing faith that he had for his Lord and Savior. He too was touched by their love and care for him and his family while in the hospital. I'm going to miss my Daddy but I know that he is now with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Love you Daddy

I will forever miss and love you pa-paw! You mean so much to all of us, you were the best man I have ever met. Your faith in the Lord has made a huge impact on my life with Patrick and how I want Rylie to be raised. ~Allison~

Uncle Ray was a wonderful uncle. He was always great with the kids. He and my pa-paw were great friends and brother-in-laws and between the two of them life was fun. Now they can be together in heaven. We will miss you Uncle Ray.

I had the priviledge of caring for Mr. Morse while he was at Providence and I have never met such a kind, sweet gentleman who was much more concerned for his family than himself in the last days of his life. It was a pleasure to care for him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Lillian McCuistion-nurse at Providence.
