Prayers for comfort and peace at the loss of your precious Mama. May you each experience the Presence of God as He embraces you in the coming days. Mrs. Bertha has seen our Savior face to face and has been restored. I have some sweet memories of her.
Toby and family I am so sorry to hear about your mother passing. I pray God will give you the peace that passes all understanding. You are really blessed to have had her for so long.
My heart is broken. I am keeping you all in my prayers. Grandma, as we all called her was 1 in 10,000. Mrs. Mary, Toby and Judy if theres anything I can do please let me know ❤️
Toby,Mary and Judy
I am so sorry for your loss
Ms Morris was a lady with a gentle heart and soul. You know sometimes they say a person is lucky to have been in this world. I believe otherwise
The world was lucky to have her to be a part of it. I remember as a neighbor in Kingstree with so many fond memories. All of you are in our prayers 🙏

Toby, Mary Francis, and Judy: I am sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet mother, Mrs. Bertha. Many years ago, our families were close friends and your sister Dorothy was one of my best friends when we all attended the Kingstree Assembly of God church. I have many good memories of those great days from my past. Praying for peace and comfort for all of you.
It is with a heavy heart I learned of Mrs. Bertha’s Homegoing. Mrs. Bertha was always the sweetest lady and a joy to be around She had been in my life for so many years. She lived in our Mishoe’s Trailer Park for years so I knew her and all her family. I would keep in touch through Mat and Scottie when they came to do the lawn care.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
