Dear Jackie, Sammy and Deanna,
I have many wonderful memories of your mom and I was able to reconnect with her through my husband who was her next door neighbor on N. Lookout. I saw her just recently at Kroger. I am sad she is gone, but feel blessed to have known her – and you guys.
Love, Patty

Shalom Granny Morgan! I always felt I had a very special connection to you. It was in the letters you wrote and conversations we had. At any stage of my life, the wisdom and advice within your letters seemed to have perfect timing. I really don't know how you did it. But I suspect that everyone who had the opportunity to know you felt the same special connection and can relate similar experiences. I will miss you and I hope to see you again.

Our thoughts & prayers go out to this dear one's family. I've known Jackie for a very long time & had the privilege of working with her at Pulaski Heights Bank for many years. I just saw her in Kroger's about a month ago & asked her if I could her a lift home, she shocked me by saying she had her car! She & I talked for quite sometime about our families & old days at the bank! She was a wonderful & very caring lady. She will be missed by all who knew her kind sweet face.
Deanna, Jackie & Sammy--You had a wonderful & dear Mom!

Aunt Jackie was very dear to me and I will miss her terribly. Though I only saw her occasionally when I was in town, we've had many wonderful phone chats through the years. I also have many notes and letters from her that I treasure.

I send love and prayers to family and friends who suffer the loss of this memorable woman.
