 So sorry to hear of Morris' passing. Could sit and listen to him sing all day and night. A voice like no other. Willing to say that mama will know that voice when she hears it. Praying for strength and comfort as you go thru this going home. God bless you and our thoughts are with you.

We are so sorry to hear about Morris's passing.  Darell and I always have fond memories of our time at Camp Branch when Dad (Dewey Lolley) was pastoring and we met the James family.  Both of you were always very kind to our family when we lived in Manor and Waycross.  Our prayers and love are with you, and we pray for God's comfort and peace!

Love,
Brenda (Lolley) and Darell Dial

The best neighbors ever, Morris and Esther!  We have had the honor of living next door to you for over 30 years.  We will miss Morris, and our talks over the fence.  Love to the family.

Esther Ruth & Family.
I always loved to come to Camp Branch Church in Manor, where Bro. Morris was singing “To Many Miles Behind Me”, I always loved to hear him sing praises to Our Savior. He always told  me that I never aged & didn’t change. Surely gonna miss him & his singing. God needed another choir Member. Praying for U & all the family.  I love U & all the family.
Sincerely,
Geneva White

Dear Esther Ruth, And family:  

Morris will be missed by everyone who knew him.  He loved God, loved to sing, and preach the WORD.   No doubt,  he is trying to organize a board, right now, to see how he can help out in Heaven!  A strong Leader he was!  We love you all and praying for you!

I will always have so many memories of Uncle Morris. He lived and loved with God's grace. He was a comedian, singer, Preacher, and awesome family man. He will be greatly missed. He has done so many things that have been a blessing to me that it's hard to pick a few. One, he video taped my wedding 2-15-1986. Two , he helped build my front porch in Manor. Three, he burned his belly ( only part of it) and his knee caps at Fernandia Beach. The last was not a blessing but he learned not to sleep on the beach. Love you Uncle Morris. Lucy

-Papa was a baby hog I was a baby
-Loved to build things. I remember being there when he built our play house. I had big plastic red lips and a jean skirt on.   Is still sits in their yard and I hope to bring it to my house one day soon for my children to be able to play in and make memories. 
-He was a hard worker and was always piddling in the yard or working on something. 
-He loved to video family functions. Everybody hated it at the time, but now everyone is thankful that he was so persistent. 
-If you knew him for any amount of time you knew that he loved to sing and do it loudly. 

I’m thankful to have known him and to be his granddaughter! He was a good Papa to me. I’m thankful for him taking my Daddy to church because my Daddy took me and now I take my children.  You can’t go wrong with Jesus!

Esther Ruth and Family:
Curley & I are so, so sorry to hear of Morris receiving his Angel Wings. Our thoughts and Prayers are with each one of You and his dear family during this sad time. We will certainly be holding you all up in prayer. We bet he is singing in the Angel's Choir and is happy and not sick no more. Our love to you and all the family.
Cousins,
Curley and Carol Ann James

Uncle Morris you will surely be missed by the James gang here in Texas. I still remember the one summer y'all came down to visit us. I remember the video of us all jump roping, and you landing on your glasses. Rest in peace....love ya.

Morris was one of a kind. He had a big impact on my life. From the old days at Druid St to the later years at Westside he was a force to be reckoned with. I’m grateful to have known him. The heavenly choir has a new voice and it’s a bold and glorious one. Rest In Peace old friend. His legacy lives on in his family. My love to you all!

I will miss my dad. I will miss our spirited debates on whether Georgia or Florida was the better team. I will miss his guidance and his advice such as... " when you are cutting with a saw, if you can't see your fingers, DON'T CUT"! You will be sorely missed. I love you more than our 26 letter alphabet will allow me to express!
