4	and Maryellen R.M. Sun, M.D., and her husband Michael Sun, and one son, John P. Morris, IV,
5	Ph.D. She was also the very proud grandmother of three grandchildren, Elina, Michael, and
6	Matthew; and
7	WHEREAS, Although born in Providence, Mrs. Morris was a life-long resident of the

9	late John W. Sheldon; and

11	Bachelor's degree from the University of Rhode Island, where she was a member of Tri Delta
12	Sorority; and
13	WHEREAS, Mrs. Morris and her husband were co-owners of Morris Farm in Warwick
14	since 1978. The farm has been owned and operated by the Morris family for 100 years. Previous
15	to operating the farm, Mrs. Morris had been a home economics teacher at Gorton Junior High
16	School; and
17	WHEREAS, Mrs. Morris' brilliant smile welcomed all who visited the family's farm and
18	warmed the hearts and left an indelible mark on the lives of those she knew and loved. She will
19	be dearly missed and always remembered; now, therefore be it

1	RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and
2	Providence Plantations hereby expresses our deepest sympathies on the passing of Cynthia E.
3	Morris; and be it further
4	RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to
