---------------------------------------
      TRAVERSE CITY - Sometimes there is given to us a brilliant burst of 
starlight to reflect God's awesome presence in our midst. Adrian Elyse Morris 
was one of those wonderful points of light that was granted to us for a short 
time. On August 25, 2004, our beautiful bright angel was suddenly taken to the 
presence of her Heavenly Father, where she lives in joy and peace forever. Her 
family sadly, but prayerfully, releases her to our God, whose grace and mercy 
endures forever. He surely knew we would have her but a short time; so He gave 
her multiple talents and gifts to amaze and delight us. Adrian was an artist, 
singer, musician, writer, dancer, and so much more. Her faith in Jesus was 
secure and strong and her joyful spirit will continue to give us light forever. 
      Born on July 21, 1987, in Forrest City, Ark., Adrian had lived in 
Traverse City with her parents for the past 12 years. She enjoyed working with 
her mom at Curves and had recently begun working at Banana Tree in downtown 
Traverse City. 
      Adrian is survived by her parents, Loyd A. and Penelope L. Morris and her 
brother, Kent; her half sisters, Celeste Morris and Mallory Glover; by her 
boyfriend, Nathan Landrum, who was the love of her life; her grandparents, 
Jerry and Sherry McInn of Wynne, Ark.; and Pastor Robert and Roxanne Collier of 
Lake Ann. Also surviving is her great-grandfather, Marshall Durham of 
California; her aunt, Leah Anne; her uncle, Chris Collier of Fla.; and her aunt 
and uncle Elaine Brooner and Bill Morris, both of Kansas. Several cousins also 
survive.
      Visitation will take place Sunday, Aug. 29, 2004, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 
to 8 p.m., at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home. Services for Adrian will take 
place at 3 p.m., Monday, Aug. 30, 2004, at the Church of the Living God, with 
her grandfather officiating. Burial will be in Linwood Cemetery at Long Long 
Lake.

memory, you are asked to consider The Adrian Morris Music Boosters Scholarship
