Dear Morris Family-

I was very sorry to read of the death of you husband/father. I remember teaching both Kristin and Jimmy and talking with Grandmom Varley at the swimming pool. May your memories comfort you during this time of loss.

Sue, I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I can only imagine how hard it would be to have him taken from you after 25 years. Remember this is where family and friends come in, even months or years from now.

Sue, I came over with Barb on Jim's 50th birthday party . She and I often talk about how sweet the memory is when he waved Jimmy to come over after he blew out all of his candles so that he could hug him and make a wish (which was that he could go back to bed ... lol). We will always be there for you. Tom
