She touched so many lives with her artwork and prose. She will be missed but never forgotten. May God bless her family while they are apart from her.

I purchased 3 of D.Morgan´s paintings in 1999 and my daughter presented one to me which had the writing " Once upon a yesterday"
Her paintings were beautiful, she was so creative and talented.
Sorry to heat of her passing.
A life well lived. ( I am 82)

I have just learned about the passing of Doris. Such a beautiful person! She visited my store and did artist signings and the customers loved her! My favorite picture that she did, " Nothing happens without a dream."
I am blessed to have know her!

I met Doris at the Yellow Daisy in 1981 when I purchased "Homecoming". It has a special place over my fireplace to this day. It was the first of many prints that I purchased through the years. I saw her at other shows and she even came to my house when she started selling her prints at "parties." She was a gracious, lovely person and I am sad that there will be no more new D. Morgan art to come. My condolences to Ed and the rest of her family.

I live in Tennessee, but am originally from Georgia. My mom and I loved coming to your gallery in Conyers. We would spend hours going through your prints. We both had a an extensive collection. We would be so touched by the sentiments and made sure we had plenty of tissues. My mom passed away 4 1/2 years old. I am so sorry for your loss.

I was so saddened to learn of D. Morgan's death. My mother, sister and I were all huge fans of hers and have several of her prints, books, etc. Two of her prints now hang in my foyer. She was a lovely lady and her beautiful art reflected her sweet, gentle spirit. I will always treasure the prints I have of hers.
