Comments by Andrella Morris: In 1988 I had the privilege of speaking with Aunt Nita, as I called her, about her child hood and when she was with Mother Catherine. If there was any woman who should have gone straight to heaven when she passed, she was the one. Her belief and faith was the strongest that I have ever seen in any person living. She gave me copies of some of the poems she had written. They were written on many kinds of paper (paper from stocking packages, tablet paper, wrapping paper, etc.) anything she could get hold of at the time she thought of what she wanted to say. She is one of the many people who inspired me to continue my search for my family history. She gave me many clues that led me to find the information that I have today.
