Dear Judy, Geoff, Cindy and Greg,
How we wish we had know of Morgan's passing sooner!
We heard only this Sunday, and felt so sad that the Coldren-Liston's could not be at his memorial service to support your family. We surely grieve with you. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this period of sorrow and adjustment. Morgan was always so kind to me as I spent time in your home as a young person. He was supportive of our early singing efforts (Christi, me and Geoff) and encouraged our service for God. He was a great person with a terrific sense of humor, as I recall. Please know you are being upheld in prayer.

Dear Burgess Family,

Sorry about the passing of Morgan. I have fond memories as a young girl playing with his children at Aunt Mary's house on 161. I think of all of you when I am in the area. I enjoyed reading all his accomplishments that were only known to me after his passing. I knew he was a great dad and loved his job. I wish you all well during this time of morning, Morgan will be remembered as a great man who was a part of my young childhood. Best wishes, Cheryl Shumaker ( Frank Walker's Daughter )
