I grew up with Morris in Americus Ga!!! We went to high school together and he was always the life of the party!!! You are in my prayers!!!

I remember Bro. Martin very fondly. One year at Mount Zion`s Annual Saturday Night Live, he drew a picture of me freehand & it looks exactly like me! :) I framed it & still have it to this very day. His wife along w/ my cousin Kimberly became very good friends through fellowshipping with Mount Zion over a short period of time. He always kept me encouraged about the things concerning my Mom. To hear of his untimely passing brings sadness. May Heaven smile upon his wife, family, Mount Zion Church Family and those that remain..
