Morris, Army (DOD 4/28/05).Marge and Paula did a glorious job of reading the Blue-to-Gold letters of condolence along with the presentation of the Blue-to-Gold Flag.In attendance were Mrs. Jolene Morris, the young widow and mother of 7 year old twin daughter; Mrs. Dolores Morris, the grandmother; Eric’s Aunt; Chaplain Bill Chrystal; numerous family members and friends; channel 4 news; and visiting Gold Star mom from Las Vegas Chapter #1, along with her son and intended daughter-in-law.It was a beautiful clear and calm day at the Mt.

After the presentations, Paula handed out balloons to the family and after a round of “Happy Birthday Dear Eric” the balloons were released.Following the ceremonies the group met for lunch and we continued to bond with our new friends.
