Dear Mike, Tim, and John,
It has been a long time since the Atkins and Seays used to get together, but there are many fond memories of good times at both your house and the Lake. I always thought the world of both your parents, and was sad to read they are both gone. My thoughts are with you all.

To Mike and Barbara Seay, Mary Dot and I were saddened to see in the paper today that your dad died Mike.Eighty nine is my Mom’s age and she is in the Baptist Home here in Asheville! You guys still living overseas? You know Barbara, I drive down that street you lived on in Malvern Hills, I think Arthur Road and I remember your home. I went to my first boy girl party at your home I believe in the eight or ninth grade. I have not seen you Mike since the EA days when I was with Tidewater Supply. Maybe when you have the memorial service for your dad we can come and see you both! So sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family. Bill( William) and Mary Dot Waddell

We were very sad to hear about Morris & send our condolence to all the family. We certainly enjoyed the time we spent with Morris on our trips to Ashville, with Marcia to see Lib & Fuzzy. It was always fun to be around Morris & Fuzzy.
I had the pleasure of working with Morris while employed with Southern Bell in the marketing department. He was always entertaining even when under stress. I can truly say it was an honor to have known him.

I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Morris passing. He was a very special man and he always made you laugh . He had a sweet spirit and was always very caring. I will always remember the many gatherings we shared with both Aunt Eileen and Morris. Its comforting to know that our parents are all together again.

Mike, Tim, and Jon,
Words cannot express my feelings on Uncle Morris’ passing. Jon thank you for letting me know so that I had the opportunity to come to Solace and say goodbye to a fantastic Uncle. Morris was one of the most caring and giving people that I have ever known, and I am blessed to be part of his family. We’ll see all of you when you get together in Asheville. Know that you are in our prayers

Jon and Kristin,

Is it ever too late to share your heart? I hope not. I just found my sweet Uncle Morris’ memorial page and so many memories flood my mind! Uncle Morris was this ball of energy and a heart of absolute gold. I was the little niece that felt like the apple of his eye when he was in my house or I was in his! He was especially giving when I lost tooth…prompting me more times than I can count to shed any baby teeth I could muster when he came to visit. His beautiful woodwork hangs in my home to this day and when I look at it, I still see his hands, his smile and feel that love that I don’t believe I have ever felt from anyone else except maybe my dad. Rest in peace sweet uncle, I will see you one day in heaven and if there are tooth fairies up there, I am sure you are managing that team quite well. Thank you for making my childhood memories so sweet.
