Mrs. Morgan and family,
Our hearts are heavy hearing about Mr. Morgan. He was such a good friend to my dad. They used to talk on the phone almost every night and shoot the breeze. That is if they weren't chopping wood! I'm sure they are doing the same right now. I'm thinking of you. - (Jack Hird's daughter)
