    I had two years of Spanish at BHS South under Mrs. Morrow. She was a great teacher, and always made class fun and interesting. I looked forward to Spanish class everyday because of her caring, and willing to work with students. Dave Sears

    Dear Morrow family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Morrow was my Spanish teacher at BHSS. I just loved her class, I remember helping Mrs. Morrow grade papers. She was always so kind to her students and she made learning Spanish exciting and fun. She would come into class every day and say with a big smile on her face, Hola Clase! She will always have a special place in my heart, one of the best teachers EVER!!!!! I will miss her so much. Best wishes to the family. May God Bless you all. Perry Glascoe BHSS class of 1973

    Judy hired me as a French teacher at BHSS in 1979, and in addition to being my boss, she treated me like I was part of the family. I appreciated her kindness. I know how much you will miss her.

    Sorry to hear of Mrs. Morrow's passing. I wonder if she is talking to God in Spanish? She was a warm, giving person who made high school Spanish fun. I'm sure she will be missed by many. God bless your family.

    Dear Morrow Family: Mrs. Morrow was one of the BEST at BHSS! Not only a great teacher, but very caring. I owe the fact that I continued to pursue language after high school to her encouragement. Remembering you in my prayers...

    I was deeply saddened to hear of Judy's passing. She was instrumental in teaching me how to "hear" the language, be the language. Cammie, my heart goes out to you and your entire family at this challenging time. Our prayers are for your comfort and peace as you live through this sad time.

    Bob, I'd like to express my sympathy to you and your family. I met Judy when I first came to Bloomington in 1982. I subbed for her and other members of the Spanish department at South. She even took me along on a trip to Spain in 1984. It was my first trip to Europe, and I'll never forget it! Judy was so helpful and fun on that trip. Her guidance built up my confidence in a way you cannot imagine. When I was at Batchelor, I thought of Judy quite a bit as I passed your house each day. I'm at Jackson Creek now, but I will continue to think of her when I pass that way.

    I was with some friends for breakfast when one of them let me read the Hearld Times which they had picked up before coming in. I was really saddened to hear that my former Spanish Teacher from the early to middle 1980's had passed away. I had her for two years. She was a very neat & special lady whom will be missed by you most of all you her family & those who knew her in other areas of her life with us that God gave. Prayers are with you all. Blessings, janice warkentin

    I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Judith Morrow. She was my Spanish teacher at BHS and inspired me to major in Spanish and teach. I loved her innovative lessons. I happened to meet her in the past several years and was impressed with her energy and enthusiasm as always. I know she will be missed. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
