From 1980-81 I was a resident/intern at the Providence Hospital dental clinic in Washington, DC. Dr. Morais was the assistant department head and supervised us in the clinic. He was extremely helpful and supportive, and he was a character. It was a great experience that really prepared me for private practice. May he rest in peace always.

Dear Jean,
My thoughts are with you at this awful, trying time. I remember when you first met Gerry at the WHC Nursing School and what a riot he was. Treasure your memories of him.
Sincerly,

Dear Jean,
We would like to extend our deepest condolences at the passing of your husband, a good person and a very caring man of medicine. Since moving to Australia in 1996 we often think of our friends in America and those special people that came into our lives. Dr Morais was one of those special people. Please know that you are in our prayers and God bless you and your family during this time of sadness.
