Letter To
The Editor
To The Editor
Today I received word from
Electra that my sister Hazel’s
husband, Orv ilic Morgan didn’t
survive heart surgery. We knew
the seriousness of the procedure
and yet there is alw ays hope that
a loved one will continue to do
well fully knowing the situation.
Il’s been many years since
Orville joined our family thru
Hazel He was a good hearted
man w ith a w inning smile and a
kind word for almost everyone
Often he would kxik hard io
find the good in a bad situation
We will all miss Orville,
however the memories of his
sweet spirit will continue to be
a part of our lives forever.
Sincerely,
Gori Payne
Flagstaff, Arizona
