Thoughts and prayers for Teresa and the Peregrine family. My family was saddened to hear of the passing of Morris, we thought a lot of him and Lois. Also thought a lot of Ricky Sr, he was a good friend and a wonderful classmate. I’m so glad that mom and I got to visit Morris at TMC and told him how much we love him. What a wonderful man and wonderful Christian.
Teresa and family, I would like to extend my sincere sympathy on the passing of your Dad and grandfather. Morris was a good Christian man and will be missed by many.

Morris was such good, kind soul. He’s now reunited with his Lois. He will be missed.
A caring and gentle man. Strong in his faith and loved serving others. His wisdom taught myself and countless others. Rest in peace sir.
