To the family of Daniel J. Morris,
I am sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34;18) With sympathy,
Mike Levesque
My deepest sympathy to my aunt Alice, my cousin David, and the rest of my uncle’s family.
In the world we live in today it is very difficult to find people who you know, even before you see them, will be leaving you with a smile on your face and a happier feeling than before you met them. My uncle was one of those rare people. I truly cannot remember a time as an adult where I ever spent more than 5 minutes with my uncle Danny and did not find myself laughing and smiling. How bad can any person feel after an experience like that? Who wouldn’t be thankful to have someone like that in their family or circle of friends?
I know I am not alone when I say this – The world isn’t as happy a place as it was while my uncle was here. Rest in peace.
