MORE LOVE OF MR. MORRIS...

I wrote a tribute to two people who I loved dearly.

My blogs are usually based on facts and cleared

by family for their permission prior to writing.

Yet, that post was written from love of a couple

before the obituary came out.

 The problem with my blog is,

I only knew Mr. Morris as an elder man

married to Ms. Priscilla, already retired

and through our church family.

I did know that Ms. Priscilla's children

were hers from a first marriage but

I did not realize so much happened

in Mr. Morris life prior to Mrs. Priscilla.

My heart is hurt this morning as I realize

I left out a very big and important part of

his younger life. One I just did not know of.

Like I said, my memories of Mr. Morris were

those after the loss of his first wife,

MRS THELMA BOUFFANIE 

whom he was married to for 25 years!

He, in that life, had 6 children whom,

although I did not know, knowing the

great man they called Daddy, were very 

special to him. Today I can only ask

their forgiveness as I did not know,

I only knew of our church family,

the one he shared with me and those

others who loved him there too.

An apology to these children just does not

seem like enough and yet, I know if they are 

anything like their Dad, they will forgive my

oversight and writing the blog prior to 

seeing his obituary which I most assuredly would

have added all that information.

Again, I wrote it out of the love for him

and wanting to give comfort to those who loved

he and Mrs. Priscilla dearly.

In turn I hurt those who call him Daddy,

who now have lost both their parents, like me.

I know their pain as after loosing my Mommy

last year, although I was 50, I felt like an orphan.

so to you 6 children,

MORRIS JR.

MONA (WHOM I BELIEVE WAS IN HEAVEN

WAITING TO GREET HER DADDY)

and last, but not least, his baby girl,

TAMMY

I ask for the forgiveness of leaving you all out

of my first blog. Again, it is not like

me to leave such an important part of his life

out of my blog, I truly just did not know.

I thank Tammy, who had the courage to send

me a very well written message to say my

information, though beautiful, was not completely correct.

I take pride in my blog and pray that 

I have maybe fixed any hurt I may have caused

by putting the blog out too soon.

Love to all who called this wonderful man

and both his beautiful wives,

Thelma and Priscilla.

Most of us, are lucky to have had one love

like this, Mr. Morris was privileged to have had two.

Once again, comfort and peace to the families

of these beautiful people.
