God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

May God's Peace and blessings be upon The Morrison Family during your time of bereavement.

Family and Friends,

One of my deams was to have my aunt make my wedding dress, and here I am looking for a dress for her homegoing. But I believe this to be true: "From now on, the Lord will bless everyone who has faith in Him when they die. Yes, they will rest from their hard work, and they will be rewarded for what they have done." [Rev. 14:13], and I believe my aunt is doing just that, in the company of her brother, sister, father, and Heavenly Father.
