Cora Lee, Hudson, Kimberly and Lindsey(and grands), my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. It has been my honor and privilege to know Nanny Morgan all these years. Truly a precious Saint! Peace and comfort to you each now and in days to come
Dear Cora Lee, Hudson, Kimberly and Lindsey
Such a treasure Heaven gained when your mother/grandmother arrived there. I had the great pleasure of meeting her and spending a little time with her on different occasions. One of those occasions, of course, being the marriage of Lindsey and Cliff. It was an honor and a blessing to be in the presence and hearing of Nanny’s sweet prayer upon the couple’s new life together, and if memory serves me correctly upon the meal also. I was totally in awe of the strength coming from the voice of that frail, fragile, diminutive beautiful white haired lady. She was lost in her surroundings as she spoke to her Lord one on one. She never stumbled, stuttered, or searched for something to say to Him. He was hers and she was His and you could tell that she was speaking to Someone that she knew was with her every second of every day. I felt transported with her, and I felt very humbled and honored to have been witness to that moment. I am so very sorry that you, family, have lost this precious woman from your sight, but I believe that with every breath that you draw, she’ll be with you and will be asking God face to face now, to keep each of you in His loving care. That should be your comfort until you meet her again where she is finally Home.
With our prayers.
Coralee and Hudson, my mom and I were saddened to learn of your mom’s passing. Mother has spent the evening telling me how much she liked her and what a good time she had with her at White Rock as children. Mother is now 101 years but loves remembering the fun times she had growing up with girls like your mom. May God give you peace and comfort as you spend days with special memories of your mom. Love, June Rice Dockery
Dear Coralee and ‘Chump’ (that’s all we knew you as Hudson, growing up on Curtis Creek), we…Mama, Carl, and sisters…we’re very saddened at the news of your mother’s passing. She was truly a very special lady, such a gracious, gentle, and Godly lady. I never remember hearing anything negative being said about Margaret Morgan. She was always so kind to us. My grandmother, Celia Morgan, counted her a very dear friend. Miss Margaret so kindly ministered to Mam-maw after we moved to Georgia as she took her to church and the store as well as calls and visits. Miss Margaret was a selfless and kind lady. We always had great respect for her. She may have grown frail in body, but what a strong and beautiful lady she was. I will never forget, as we were leaving her house after a visit, about a year and a half ago, as I held her frail little hand in mine, she prayed the most sincere, beautiful prayer for us, asking The Lord’s blessings upon us and that The Lord would give us a safe trip back to Georgia. She KNEW her SAVIOR in a special, personal way. I cried as she prayed, as it touched me so deeply. She KNEW to WHOM she was talking, and it made me want to KNOW My LORD more! She was quiet, strong, gentle, and kind. No, not perfect, she would be the first to tell us that, but was growing more like The Master, even at age 98, Whom she served for so long. What a legacy!!! We loved her and will never forget that sweet lady who lived down the road from us, who would drive back up the road to pick up my Mam-maw and her little brood of grandchildren and take us to church. Miss Margaret Morgan played a part in my hearing the gospel and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior! 🙂 She will be missed but not forgotten! I pray that even in your grief, the FACT and the TRUTH that your beloved mother is safe in the arms of her Sweet Savior, will bring great comfort. It’s not the end. Love, Deborah (Greene) Berry
Coralee and Hudson, the homegoing of your beloved Mother is a precious time of reflection for you both. It also is a time of reflection for those who knew her. I have not seen her in many years, but I still can remember the stalwart follower of Jesus that was the identification of Margaret. As a child and later a grown up at White Rock, I can see her faithful attendance and her quiet, sweet ways. She was one of those people we never forget. May you have fond and sweet memories of a life well lived. Sure would love to see both of you -love and hugs from Alvin & Priscilla Morgan
Coralee and Chump
Many, many great memories of overnites at Margaret’s house and playing on the mountain and fields behind. Your mother now knows all the things that we thought we had got away with. I feel like we were all one family as close as we were growing up. God bless you both at this time. Much Love and Prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Your Mothet was one of a kind. I loved her dearly, but knew that she was ready to meet her savior. May God bless you during this time, I love you very much. Katherine and Jose.
She will be truly missed. She made all of us better people. I was always touched by her power of prayer every day of her life.
The service was beautiful!
