  Mr. VEASEY, Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of Mrs. 
Delmarie Morris.
  Mrs. Delmarie Morris was born to Leola Jefferson on April 15, 1939, 
in Waldo, Arkansas. She attended and graduated from Westside School in 
Waldo, Arkansas. Mrs. Morris accepted Jesus Christ at an early age and 
was truly a woman who served God. After moving to Dallas in 1957, she 
joined Marsalis Church of Christ and served as a dedicated choir member 
and loved singing. Years later she joined the True Light Church, 
Dallas, Texas. At the True Light Church, she was a dedicated and 
faithful Sunday School Teacher. Mrs. Morris maintained a firm faith in 
God and was often seen studying her bible.
  Mrs. Morris continued her passion of serving others through her work 
as a Nursing Assistant at Parkland Hospital and then a Physical 
Therapist Assistant at Launey Medical Clinic.
  As the matriarch of the family, Mrs. Morris was a devoted wife, 
mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. She 
served her family with honor, devotion and steadfast values that will 
endure the family for generations.
  Mrs. Morris was an avid cook and shared her skills with family and 
friends. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who knew and loved 
Mrs. Delmarie Morris.
