To Moe ,the thank you for being apart of my life. And sharing some of yours with me.

Your loving wife Diane

February 8, 2009

God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb; he gently closed those loving eyes and whispered, "Peace be Thine". The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless night are past. The ever-patient, worn out frame has found sweet rest at least!

I miss you so much but I know you're no longer weary, in pain or having sleepless nights. You are now and always will be with me in spirit and in my heart.

People so seldom say I love, and then it's either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, it doesn't mean you'll never go, only that I wish you didn't have to.
Love from your wife, Diane

We had 27 great years together. I miss you so much but I know you're in a much better place, free from pain and misery. Morrell and I will keep you in our hearts forever. I can't find all the words to express my love but you know I love you very much. My love for you lives on. Your wife, Diane

My heart and prayers are with your family. I remember "Uncle Mo" use to call me "Nun ya" for none of your business. He always smiled and would do anything for a friend. Thank you for looking out for the Zachary family when we needed you most!

To The James Family:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Morrell. I share in your loss because Mo was a dear classmate in our John M. Langston High School Class of 1966. He was undoubtably one of the best basketball players JML ever had!

My prayers and love go with you in these sorrow filled days. But keep in your minds, hearts and soul that God does have EVERYTHING all in control.

May Grace, Mercy and Peace be with you always,

A Mighty John M. Langston 1966 Lion
