To Dr. Morris and Family,
I am so deeply sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Morris. She and Dr. Morris were always so kind and encouraging to me as I pursued my degrees at the University of CA. Her smile, thoughtfulness, and encourage-ments will always be remembered. My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to Dr. Morris and her family.
