Chris Morgan 1924-2008

The kids and I headed with my mom, Aunt Patty and Paige to my Aunt Chris's funeral in the bay area at the end of last week. She was 83 and went peacefully with her family around her. It was wonderful to be able to go. I saw a lot of family that I haven't seen in a while. It is always hard to say good-bye, but it is really nice that it brings us all together.

My Uncle Dick (her husband) died when I was young - I think about 20 years ago. I vaguely remember him. But I knew my Aunt Chris. She always remembered who I was (we have a huge family) and was kind-hearted, wise, and jovial. She and my uncle had 8 children and many grandchildren. She was a constant in Morgan family reunions. I can only think that she is having a grand reunion in heaven with Dick, Grandma Claire, Grandpa Ben, Gordy, Jerry, Joanne, and many other Morgans that have passed on. Probably siting back laughing, smoking Chesterfields, drinking J&B, and maybe even playing a little cards. Cheers to all of you!
