In the hours after my Grandpa Morley's passing, I don't exactly know how to feel, or how to put it into words. But I do know 2 things: I know the Plan of Salvation and I know I love my Grandpa.
This is the kind of man he was:
He was a GOOD man. For him, it's not a trite cliche. It's a perfect description of how he lived his life.
He lived a long time, 94 years. What I think is one of the greatest blessings about that is that so many 30+ great-grandchildren (more than that but not including babies) got to really know him. They will be able to remember him in years to come. What a blessing!
He didn't just live a clean life, he took to heart "abhor the appearance of evil" Enough said about that.....
He loved the simple things in life: Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Root Beer Floats, breakfast at Denny's, visits with old friends, his garden, etc.
And finally, more than anyone else I know, he found true joy in being with his family. The only time he ever missed a wedding, school program, graduation, etc was when his health didn't allow him. And he loved each of us for simply for who we were.
I love you Grandpa- see you later!!!!
