In Memory of Harry Morgan

You were more than a husband, father and friend to many people. Your door was always open to everyone, no matter how busy or how you may have felt. To me, you were like a father as well as a very good friend. I always enjoyed our visits as well as the laughter from your stories or little jokes.

I will always remember how much pride you always put in your flower garden and your beautiful yard, and I will especially remember how you loved Christmas as well as any child with your decorating, and friends going and coming enjoying the holidays. Words cannot express how much we will all miss and loved you, but you have given us so much more to remember than you could ever imagine. You are in God's House now, but I know you'll always be with us and in our hearts forever. Sadly missed, Nancy Mosley and Friends
