Hello to all the Morley family relatives and friends I remember Gwen and her husband Howard well. They came to the family Morely reunion hosted at our home near St. Marys in the country. (unit 2397 Perth Road 163) We always enjoyed hosting everyone and Howard and Gwen were great supporters of the Gospel You may be happy to know that quite a few people came to know the Savior by seeing your lives and that of others. Because my wife just went to her Eternal Home in Heaven Thursday Dec. 02, I noticed your Mom’s promotion to Heaven. She certainly enjoyed a long life. You have our condolences. there is always a welcome for any of you if you would like to visit.
