Faith had always been in my heart! We always had fun together when we were very young and to the present. Faith always had a smile on her face laughing and having just a good life. everyone should take her life as the very best way to live.
All her family is the same as they took after her. She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her. Love to all her family, Keith Mooar

To the entire Morris Family, We are very sorry to hear of your loss. We offer our deepest condolences and sypmathy. Nothing is harder then losing a loved one. We know that Faith was loved by her family and friends and that she in turn loved them. Though some say that it was expected, the pain and heartbreak of losing someone so close is still painful and the hurt is deep. Know that she was blessed with having such a wonderful family who supported her and loved her as she traveled through lifes journey. She is so proud of having such a tremendously wonderful family.
The Morris family is in our thoughts and most importantly in our prayers.
God Bless you all! Peter, Sonja and Elizabeth Hrycaj

Dear Morris Family,
The pain and sorrow you feel in your heart feels like it will never leave. But look around you at the Family you have been blessed with and know that your Mom, Faith, has given you each a beautiful gift. The gift of family and friendships and love. She was a beautiful lady who i always admired when i was growing up at St. Paul. I will always remember her smiling eyes, her gentle touch, and her loving family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all..
Tony, Kris and family
