Debbie, Whitney and Kelly,
I am saddened for you and share in your grief. I did not know Winston for very long but he made quite an impression on my life. His beautiful singing voice has joined the choir in heaven and he is singing better than ever! What a comfort for you to know where he is at this time. God bless you and you are in my prayers.
In His Grip!##imported-begin##Faye Scott##imported-end##
Winston bass daddy was such an amazing man. Anyone who had the opportunity to meet him or ANYONE in his family has to consider themself lucky & truly blessed. He was always a wonderful addition to our choir tours....so enthusiastic which helped make us more enthusiastic when we didn't necessarily feel like it...and he was such an amazing witness, not only to the non-believers we were ministering to but to us fellow believers as well. Mrs. Morris, Kelly, and Whitney...I can't express to you how DEEPLY sorry I am. And I can't tell you that I understand what you're going through, because I don't. All I know is, I love you girls. And all of ya'll will continue to be in my prayers. Please, please don't hesitate to let me know if you need something. I'm right down the road & would love to help in any way. Love you.##imported-begin##Brandy Howard##imported-end##

Peace##imported-begin##Justin Ross##imported-end##
I am very sorry to hear about Mr. Morris, or Bass Daddy, passing. He always came to choir with a smile on his face and with his kind presence he touched all of our hearts deeply. I will always remember how he could make any of us laugh when we were down. I will forever cherish the great memories we had together in choir.

Dear Bass Daddy,
You were always a man I looked up to and I wanted to strive to be like. Your whole life was devoted to God and His Message that he is the Saviour of the World. I thank you for what you taught me in Youth Choir at First Baptist Church and I am so grateful to have known you. During choir trips you always were there to help me when I needed it and you were always there to guide me in the right direction. I will miss you so much and I will miss your calming bass voice, but I do know this, that soon and very soon I will be up there in Heaven with you and I'll be in the choir singing right next to you. Maybe we can show Heaven how real East Texans sing. To Mrs. Morris and Kelly, I will continually pray for you and I will continually think of you everyday. My heart goes out to you and I can only imagine what it must feel like to be without a loved one so close and dear. I love you both.
Love,
James Kevin Forbis Jr.##imported-begin##James Kevin Forbis Jr. ##imported-end##
Debbie,
Ladeana and I were called by James Kevin this morning and saddened by the news of Winstons passing. We will be praying for you and the girls that you may feel a peace from God, knowing that Winston is leading the bass section of Gods youth choir. " Bass Daddy " was a calming influence on a lot of unruly bass section choir members in the youth choirs at FBC. He had a knack of getting their attention, in a loving way. I will miss him, but I know that he is in Heaven and that God is in control. If there is anything that we can do for you, please do not hesitate to call.

I am so glad I have the memory of seeing Winston at Barry and Lauren's wedding reception. We had such a nice visit, like old times. When I told our son Ben of his passing today, he said that Winston had been his number one mentor in his life during high school after his dad, of course. That speaks volumes. I'm glad to know that his suffering was short and that he's enjoying the realm of his heavenly father. May God remain close to you and the girls during this time of adjustment. I know you'll miss him terribly. Barb, Andy, Ben, Tim and Bethany Woodring##imported-begin##Barb and Andy Woodring##imported-end##
