    There are so many good things I can say about Morrianne. She was smart, kind, understanding, considerate, a great wife, great mom, great grandmother, great artist, could absolutely grow anything and absolutely the most organized person I know. She was true friend to me. We could talk about anything. All of the years we worked together, we never had a cross word. Morrianne was truly one of a kind. I will remember our laughs and many discussions we shared during our lunch our. I love you my friend.

    I will certainly miss Morri's talent and dedication in the Brookhaven Piecemaker's Quilt Guild. She made some beautiful quilts and loved sharing her time and talent with guild members, her family, and the community.

    So sad to hear of your loss. We met in Brookhaven at the Piece Makers Quilt Guild meeting. She was such a talented quilter. It was always exciting to see her completed quilts and projects. May your good memories and special times help all of you through this difficult time. You are all in my prayers. Carol from Meadville, MS

    I am so sorry for your loss. Morri was such a wonderful person. She was so sweet to my mom and Mamma loved her Sunday afternoon visits. She was also the most talented Quilter I’ve ever seen. I’ll miss seeing her. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss.

    Aunt Morri was definitely one of a kind. She has the best laugh and kindness like none other. We will miss her and snuggle her with all of the quilts that she made for our family.

    My heart is broken but I know her sweet soul is gone to rest. She has always been my friend and sister. I will miss our conversations wherever we would met each other.

    Our Science Department at Alexander was strong and leaned on each other!
