God has called back one of his most loyal and loving angels. She was not only a beautiful person but a sweet soul that seemed exude love, grace and mercy. I was on the receiving end of her love and mercy time and again and at a very rough time in my life. I will never forget her kindness, her sweet smile and her beautiful heart. God bless the Morphew family in their time of loss that he strengthen them. Please Lord remind them that it is not their loss but rather your gain that we celebrate now.
