Aunt Marie was always a sweet, loving, and quiet woman. Beneath her peaceful exterior was a strong personality that fought to be present. The three Morton sisters always reminded me of my mother and her two sisters, who were close in spirit always. Praying that her faith in God extends comfort to family and friends.

So sorry for your loss –
Marie and I worked together on WELCA conference board over several years. I always enjoyed her company and the conversations we had during that time, and later when we would run into each other. Her strong Christian faith sustained her then. She’s bound to be in heaven where she was warmly welcomed. Hoping that God’s constant presence brings you peace and comfort.
Carol my condolences. You were an amazing daughter to Marie. You went out of the box to provide Marie comfort and love. I will miss seeing Marie waiting on you to pick her up. Thank you again for sharing your gifts with the building last Holiday Season. I am forever grateful I got to watch the last part of Marie’s journey. Have no regrets. Well done.
