“May the works I’ve done, speak for me”. This is the first thought that came to mind when I reflected on the life of this amazing man. Yes, Uncle King, the works you have done in the community, in the church, in your home and for your family have spoken for you. Loud and clear. The life that you and Aunt Laverne lived touched so many people. Your walk and your witness and your tremendous love for each other. You have earned your just reward. TO Michael and Wayne and all the other Morrison family, my prayers are that the wonderful life he lived will be a source of peace and comfort, now and in the days ahead. Prayers and Godspeed.
