To Jean & all your family . Lots of love, & wonderful memories of spending time with you all at Algies Bay over the years. Lots of love, thoughts & prayers to you all, & it's with confidence & total reassurance through Gods Word, that David is now in glory with Jesus. We look forward to seeing him again, on that special day.
We were so sad to hear of David's death. We always enjoyed our welcome from David and Jean when we visited new Zealand and enjoyed having them stay with us. So much interest and so much energy. Our deepest sympathy to you Jean and all your family. With our love. Howard and Jane
It is with great sadness to hear of David's passing. At the same time an honor to say that David and his family have been and will always be our friends. We have many fond memories of their visits to Canada and our visit to New Zealand. We look forward to seeing you again. Ron Shymanski and family
With deepest sympathy as you remember David.
To Jean and Family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss of David. He was a true Gentleman, and always had time to talk to everyone. I especially thank Jean and David for the wonderful help you gave me after Maurie died. Even flying to Canada to support me. What a wonderful couple they were and so devoted to each other. Jean I know you will miss him terribly and my heart goes out to you, but he is now at rest and free from the pain of the last few years. God give you strength. Shirley Hay and Family. A Gregan Cousin.
Jean & David; David & Jean: they are household names to many friends and have been good friends of ours since the 1970's. They often visited us in Canada, usually with stories of David and Rowland's latest farming accidents. So, the Morrison Patriarch has 'changed his residence' and we know he is in a good place. Our sincere condolences to Jean and the entire Morrison family. Jeanette & Lillian Olivant Burnaby, B.C., Canada
We are so sorry for your loss Jean. We have fondest memories of you both in Paihia. You were so kind in helping us to move into you home at Top of the Bay. We had met many people who had stayed previously with you. All thought you were very kind and helpful at that time. Our thoughts are with you Jean. God Bles Love Gordon and Charmaine.
Dear Jean and all your lovely family, you and David were such a ray of sunshine when you visited us at our Mata farm and on into our adult life. Our love and hugs surround you all at the loss of a mighty man.xxx
