It is my express wish to be cremated and have my remains scattered. I don't wish to have a funeral service of any caliber, I lived alone, those who had a chance to tell me how they did, did so or did not, and there is no logical reason for people to waste time in the house of God, shedding pseudo tears for someone, no one cared to call and check on. If death has become my life, allow me to go in peace, and cherish what few memories there are. Allow me the decency to die in peace, since I did not live in it. These are my express and intentional wishes; please destroy all papers that I have, give my books to Central State University library. All my clothing is to be given to Beulah church, for distribution to needy families. Any other material possessions are to be given to the goodwill. Any money that is left should be donated to Beulah to continue their mission in assisting those in need. Give my money away freely; nothing that I had was mines to keep. Lastly, my name and estate is to be given to the state of Louisiana as a trust; to aid in bringing back African American hurricane Katrina victims and giving them a home. Not one penny of my money, now or future is to be given to any living relative, other than my nephews. Eternally my own… Robert Morton.
