My husband Robert and I miss Doc very much. We pray for strength for all who love Doc. Call if we can help in any way. Our Lord loves you all and He will continue to carry all whooped Doc, He carries us. Blessings, Robert and Rosa Anderson and Robye. PS When our son Robye was a toddler, Doc found him crawling alone in Church as I was on the Choir, and Doc brought him to me. I will never forget.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.. Dr. Morris was such a gentle man, from the day Fred and I met he and Mrs. Morris, it was a like a connection of family that we didn't know we were missing. Whether sharing a dinner or talking sports, Dr. Morris was an extremely likable man. He left us with a friendship and memories that we will forever hold dear and near to our hearts.
God be with you all family, we love you, Phyllis, Terrance and Shelley!

Dr. Morris was my ophthalmologist for years and not only was he an exceptional eye doctor; he was a very kind man. I will always remember how we talked about everything during my appointments and when we didn't agree on topics; he would still smile with a sparkle in his eyes. My deepest and sincere condolences to the Morris family. May peace be with you all and rest in peace Dr. Morris.

knew Dr Morris at UT Austin Then he often said
he would become an eye doctor and he did. Bo transferred to UT from Wiley College He introduced to Kappa. I saw Bo in DC a few years ago and I gave him a Kappa hand shake which surprised him. I am from Port Arthur, Texas and when I would isit PA I would go to see Ohyllis. When I saw him a few years ago he told me he did indeed marry Phyllis. It was so good to see him.
