Still missing you, Dad. I’m sure you and Kip had a hallelujah reunion with Jesus! I love you and look forward to being part of that reunion one day!

Dear Betty, Deke, Tapi, Kip and family, Just today I learned of your husband and father's passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Upon seeing that his birthday is tomorrow, and knowing how hard special days are without our loved ones, I think that God brought this to my attention today so I could pray for you on what will surely be a challenging first birthday without him. May God's grace and peace and your wonderful memories sustain and uplift you until you meet again in glory. Love, Joelle

We just wanted to express once again our love for this great man and his family. We will always be thankful for his kindness, leadership, faithfulness, integrity, perserverance, and professionalism. He was a lighthouse to us and particularly to our grandaughter, who thought he was the greatest! His stability and compassion for young people was instrumental in molding many young lives. The percentage of young people from Gospel Light that are tracking right is a testimony to his unwavering steadiness and love. We will all miss him and cherish his memory. Mike and Rhonda

To Pastor Morrow's family: We send our sympathy to each one of you and know how much you will miss your, husband, father, and grandpa. What a man from God and a true brother in Christ. We attended Gospel Light years ago and enjoyed the preaching and teaching that we received from this servant of God. He always had a smile and a great hand shake for us. May God's comforting arms surround each of you during this time of celebrating his life. In Christian Love, Doug and Carol Cornwell

Dear Betty, sons and Tapi, I am so sad to hear of the news, that God has taken your husband and father home. Heaven is a wonderful place but earth is a sad place when ones we love leave us behind. God is with us and sustains us when we think we can't make it without our loved one. I know you will all keep your eyes on Jesus and trust Him to keep you going. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. It has been a joy knowing you, Betty and your dear husband. I am, and will continue to pray for each of you as the days come and go. May God's richest blessings and comfort be yours. In Christ's love, Kitty

We were so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was a great preacher of the Word of God. We attended gospel Light many years ago but have never forgotten his great preaching. Your family must find rest in that fact that his soul is in the hands of Jesus. If I leave this world of Sorrow, Sometime before you do, Just look for me in Heaven, And we'll talk the ages through, but if at first, you fail to see me, Let me tell you where I'll be, I'll be thanking Christ, My Savior, For saving a wretch like me. don't look 'neath the Gates of white pearl, don't look on the streets of pure gold, don't look by the walls of jasper, Nor among the many sights untold, For I've been longing and I've been waiting, for the precious, Holy One to see, There I'll be through the countless ages, Look for me at Jesus' feet. So, he's with his Holy One with whom he longed to be. Love to you all. Brady Kunz

Mrs. Eadie and I have, am, & will be praying for the Morrow Family & the Gospel Light Baptist Church. Our hearts share & bear with you your sadness and grief but we thank God your loved one Pastor Morrow, "DID NOT DIE", God just changed this Faithful Servants address from Earth to Heaven & from HERE to HOME! (John 14:1-3). The best way for all of you to honor this "MAN OF GOD" is to remain, "EVERLASTINGLY AT IT" for JESUS and SOULS & I pray you ever shall as he did. God Greatly Bless your days ahead! Evangelist Wade Eadie (Texas)/ Galatians 6:14

Marion Avenue Baptist Church is praying for the Gospel Light Baptist Church and the Morrow Family. Our hearts are saddened over the loss of Pastor Morrow. Pastor Morrow was such a godly example and God has used him in an incredible way. Iowa was blessed to have him as a spiritual leader.

Pastor Morrow was a tremendous man of God that stood strong on Biblical principles and walked with God, he got his prayers answered. For 8 years he was our pastor, when we considering moving the biggest problem we had was leaving pastor Morrow. I know we all feel a great loss, Pastor Morrow is probably busy meeting Paul, John and Joshua etc. To Betty, Deke and Kip and family we praying that God will comfort and give you understanding at this time. We love foks.

I doubt anyone would remember much of me at this point. . Where does the time go? Pastor Morrow was a big piece of my family life. I met him while just in youth group. . Played volley ball, went to camp, then off to Hyles Anderson where I met my first husband. All because of the direction love and support of your family at Gospel Light. You will all be forever in my heart. Remember it is not a loss. . It's is until we meet again<3 Tami Johnson-Dotson-Werner-Andrews Daughter of Al and Suzanne Doton.

We hurt for your loss. When our children went to camp, they always requested to be with Gospel Light. The young people from your church had a good testimony that I'm sure they learned at church. We don't know why God chose now but we know the God of the why. Trust Him.

To the family is is with a heavy heart to my old Pastor depart but he's in great hands Rev. Ray Prayers to all

Although I only meet Rev. Morrow on a few occasions, I do know that he was a devoted man of God, his family, and the congregation. May he rest in peace and enjoy his place in Heaven with God. Sending my prayer to your family and friends at this time, may you find peace of heart with this pass and know that you will meet again. God Bless you all.

Going to miss mr.morrow alot! Saw him as a second father and family member! I'm praying for his loving wife and family for there great loss. God will bring us through this time in need!

Betty, Kip, Nellie and all the Morrow family, I am saddened at the loss of this great servant of God. He made a difference in his city, state and country. My husband and I prayed for the God of all comfort to be especially close during this time. We love you folks. Richard and Carol Tudor

Betty and family. I was so sorry to hear of your loss! What a great influence this man has been on so many live for eternity! His was a life well lived! Praying for you and love you!

We only met Pastor Morrow once at his granddaughter Lauren's marriage to our son in Jan of 2014, but we know his lovely daughter Tapi and his granddaughter Lauren, and it is obvious that Pastor Morrow was a faithful, godly, and loving man. He left such a sweet legacy to his children and grandchildren. We will be praying for God's all-sufficient grace to sustain the family during this time of loss.

This precious brother in Christ baptized me in November 1989, was used of the Lord later that same month to lead my first wife to Christ, and performed her funeral a week later. I learned so much as a new Christian while attending Pastor Morrow's church, Gospel Light Baptist Church in Marion, IA.
