We were so saddened to hear about Uncle Morris. Our thoughts are with you.
I was so saddened to read about the loss of Morris. I’ve thought about the family many times over the years. I have fond memories of living with you when I was a young child. I see Dean in the choir whenever we visit Mud Creek. We are planning on moving back to H’ville in about 4 yrs. whenever Mike retires for the second time. All my love to each of you. May your faith carry you through this sorrowful time.
