Daddy, I will miss you till we see each other again. I will love you forever. My heart is hurting and the tears don't stop flowing. I need one of your big hugs so bad today. Love you Daddy ... Carol
Grandpa, where to start? I remember when we moved to Alabama and I thought it was the end of the world leaving you and Grandma. Then, I couldn't wait for school to let out so I could come spend summers with you until time to start again. Every morning we raced to the mailbox and you always let me win. Pete's was always the place to go for breakfast and then it was off to run through the lot to see what Key Scales had in. The boat rides to look for gators were always entertaining. Those Sunday mornings when you dropped drips of water on my face to wake me up would always make me so mad. There are so many memories but I will leave with that. Help me to guide my kids to grow up to live the Christian life that you taught me to live. Don't worry about grandma, we will take care of her. I'll miss you so much but I know I will see you again someday. Love you so much Pops.
Grandpa, where to start? I remember as a little girl moving away from you and grandpa and I thought it was the end of the world. I couldn't wait for school to get out for the summer so I could come spend time with you. I never wanted summer to end. In the mornings we raced to the mailbox and you always let me win. We ate Pete's for breakfast every morning then went to the daily round of driving through Key Scales. The pontoon boat rides looking for gators were always interesting. On Sunday mornings you just had to wake me up by dripping water on my face and I would always get so mad at you. There are so many more memories but I'll stop with those. Ill miss you so much but will see you again someday. Watch over me and help me to guide my children to live the Christian way just like you have taught me. Don't worry about grandma we will take care of her. Love you pops!
It is hard to pick just one memory that I have of Joe. It seems like he has always been there...especially during my teen years. Both he and Lucille were a very important part of my growing up years. Whenever the teens had a get together at the church...they were there; whenever the teen choir went on a trip, regardless of the length of time we were gone...they were there (you get the idea). He loved us and we felt that love. He will be missed, but I celebrate the fact that he is no longer in pain and is with his heavenly Father.
What a beautiful celebration yesterday of Joe's life that told it like it is, reminding us of a legacy of faith in God, with a smile to lift those around him, and to say, "it's going to be ok". As a young pastor, he was an encourager and to me a visionary (before we knew what a visionary was) who saw and believed how it could be done. Lucille, we send our love and prayers--Joe will be missed, but the memories are precious and full of love.
Uncle Joe is dearly loved by so many. It takes a great man to leave such a lasting and loving impression on so many lives. Every good family tree has strong roots, the Morgan siblings sure provided our family with a great foundation and I feel privileged to be related to such loving people. Aunt Lucille, my heart breaks for you... Iove you
We are not family but Mr Morgan always treated us like family, he opened his house to us and invited us many times to family events at his house for pool parties, and we always had lots of food! He was a great person and we are honored to have known him and spent time with him. Our deepest sympathies to Mrs Morgan and her family, he will be greatly missed!
I grew up in the church where Joe and the "Morgan family" attended. He was always like a big teddy bear, willing to give hugs and words of encouragement. My family would always sit on the same side of the sanctuary as Joe (he always sat on the left side because that's where the piano was...and Lucille. : ) Anyways, I used to love to sit in front of Joe during the song service and hear him "moan" a joyful tune to the Lord! It did my heart good, and I'm sure his praises pleased God! What a day that will be when we reunite in heaven some day! To his loving family, I wish you peace and comfort and will be praying for you. You each are very dear to me. Love, Regina Ray-Bushee
