Not sure what to say?

Bunny, my thoughts have been with you since hearing of William's passing. Sorry I was unable (for health reasons) to be at the memorial service. The last time I saw William at Bob Broward's memorial service I told him that I came to Jacksonville to learn design from him, which I did, but much more than that, he taught me how to think.

God bless the man and memory- William Morgan, friend and creative architect.
It was a rare blessing and my genuine pleasure to be Bill and Bunny's pastor for seven years. Preaching in his "jewel of church design" was a joy. Discussing history of the "then and now" deepened my appreciation for those brave souls who, like Bill, taught us lessons in daring and determination to honor our Maker with responsible stewardship in the generous sharing of God's good gifts.
May His healing love...

Remember, William would frequently say to us, with symmetry there is serenity. With all of his beautiful architectural creations, he has left the world a more serene place. It was a joy and an honor to know him.

With warm wishes... Foy Smathers and the rest of the Smathers Family towards the Morgan Family
