Q

Ma’am can you tell us a little about your husband?

A

Morgan was the kindest person I have ever met. He was a lawyer, but had so much room in his heart. He spent most of his time working late hours to take on pro-bono cases. But it wasn’t just his professional life either. I mean that man couldn’t walk into a grocery store without making friends with a stranger.
