Dearest Edith, Reba and Family Friends... For years, your family has embraced me and my family as though I was one of your own. I have special fondness of my early adult years, traveling on a regular basis (as often as possible) from Williamsburg and Newport News to Portsmouth to visit Edith, my dearest "sister" friend from college. I will never forget the love that "Mom" (and "Pop") always showed to me at that time and later my family as well. It was a wonderful time. I was shown much love - as though I was one of the Morgan sisters too. Please know that we love you all and pray for your comfort and peace that only God can give during this time of loss.
