My cousin, Jason Morris wrote this obituary for his Dad. Darwin Morris, 65, of Arlington was known for displaying his wit, wisdom and storytelling--often beginning with "to make a short story a lot longer" before giving an engineer's detailed account of things. He also often displayed a cigarette. He smoked for more than 40 years and died of lung cancer Saturday, March 4, 2006. Funeral: 12:30 p.m. Monday, Moore Funeral Home Chapel, 1219 N. Davis Dr. Burial: Moore Memorial Gardens. Visitation: 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Goodfellows of Fort Worth, 200 Carroll St., 112, Fort Worth 76107. He was born the last of seven boys on June 15, 1940, to Lena and James in Kopperl. Mr. Morris graduated from Kopperl High School in 1958, attended Paris Junior College in northeast Texas and graduated with an electrical engineering degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in the 1970s. Education helped Mr. Morris go from a Central Texas farm to jobs with Texas Power and Light, Bell Helicopter and Lockheed Martin. He was a Texas Democrat who revered the country's principles and was proud of his work to help the military. He retired in 2002. He valued teaching his children and grandchildren how the world works and made sure his kids went to college. He also learned by living and traveling the U.S. and the world, including to London on business; to Holland to see the grave of his brother, Deris, a World War II soldier; and to Australia for a road trip with friends from Sydney to Darwin. He also took trips around his beloved Texas and the U.S. with his wife, Pat. Brother, Dwain and sister-in-law, JoAnn. http://www.legacy.com/dfw/Obituaries.as ... rchResults

Hello Everyone, It has been along time since I have been here, and I apologize for my absence. I came back around the end of Janurary, to update my Uncles profile ( it wasn't good news). As I looked over the boards I saw how many people who had passed. Some who were on hospice when I was here last, and others who were just fine, at that time. As I looked over the boards , person after person I saw had passed. It was like i was being hit in the gut time after time. I just could not process it all. I sat here for hours reading, and seeing more names. People who I had come to see here everytime I signed on. It was so very over whelming, and I haven't even been here very long, and didn't know them very well, it was , and still is so very sad to me. Before I post again, I want you all to know, you have all been in my thoughts constantly. I can only imagine how you all who knew them, and those of you who are family members feel. So I just stayed silent at that time. I have been here to post several time since then, but just couldn't. Please accept my most sincere condolences. My thoughts and prayers have been, and are with you all. Love To You All!

Such a beautiful way to honor her Mother. She is so talented, and should put a copyright on that poem. From reading your profile, you ARE winning. I pray you continue to get better. Praying for you, and your family. Many Blessings!

Taking your hands and beginning this prayer circle for Bill,Beth, family and friends. Lord please let Bill pass to you with ease, and bless Beth with peace. My heart is breaking, but I know God will help everyone though, and Bill will become another guardian angel to watch over us all. In His Name!

Thanks that is a good idea. He says he doesn't know why he crys, and only takes the Ativan when he starts shaking, and it makes him sleep. I'll tell my Aunt, and let you know what the doc says. Thanks again. Many Blessings!

Welcome home Addie, I missed you too. Big Hugs, and Many Blessings!

I hope this is the right place to post this ,if not please move it. Talked to my Aunt yesterday, she says my Uncle wants to stay in bed most all the time. He just got out of the hospital Thursday, I think. Will hardly eat, and when he does as before it is only a few bites. He did get the g-tube, but doesn't want much of anything put in there. He's very emotional, crys alot. I know he must be very depressed he has every right to be, but my Aunt feels he should be happy he is doing so much better than he was at dx. I understand her side as well. God bless them both, I just do not know any answers. Yesterday, he had to be rushed back to the hospital, because he couldn't breath. That was around lunch, or right before, kept him in the ER til about 7pm, and sent him home. He had a doctors appt. today, Aunt said he sat in the exam room and cried the whole time. When the doc came him , the doc told him "if you think you're a burden , you're wrong. You have many people who love you and are taking care of you. SO get over it"! That's a bit harsh , isn' it? Doc put him on Xanax , he's already on Ativan, and, Remeron. Not sure what other meds he is on. I know chemo , and rads affect the body, and emotions differently on different people. Can any of you relate to any of what he's going through? Or give me some advice to relay to my Aunt? She is almost at her wits end. I am grasping for something to help them both. Since they live near Dallas, would it be possible for my Aunt to reach someone there who could give her emotional support? Sorry this is so long. I'll try to keep postings shorter. Many Blessings!

Bill, you and your wife are in my prayers. I wish I could say something to help you, I can't. So I will think of you both and send up prayers, always. Peace and Love!
