Dear Denise and Lynn:
I just heard the sad news about your dad. I know how hard it is to lose your mom and dad and will pray that God will send his grace and mercy to your family. I loved the video! I had never seen the beautiful earlier photos; it was fun to see the N. Canal Dr. house again and remember what a wonderful childhood we had there. Your mom and dad were always great to be around; your dad was sweet and always smiling and your mom was direct, (can we say "loud") funny, and loving. That woman knew how to have a good time. Most of her hugs and kisses included her saying "Let me squeeze you around the neck" with lots of laughter. I seem to also remember her giving me a spanking or two. I loved the latter photos that showed what a loving and sweet couple they were their entire lives. What a testimony! Now that they are both in heaven, I can imagine there's been so loud laughing, singing and praising Jesus along with my Mom and Dad.
Blessings to you both,
Resa
Brother Teddy was such a great person. I remember the day he asked me to teach Sunday school and children’s church 27 years ago. He along with Mrs. Gail took me under their wing and helped me grow. He was there anytime we called when someone in my family was having surgery or in the hospital. We were blessed that he was one of the witnesses that signed our marriage license. You will be missed! ❤️
This video is awesome. Such a great man. The photos of him as a young boy remind me of how I remember Lowell looking! My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this diffficult time.
Greg, my sincere condolences to you and your family. My thoughts are prayers are with you and your family.

My deepest sympathies as your family mourns his loss and rejoices for his heavenly arrival. Although I didn’t personally know him I’ve had the pleasure of seeing and cherishing the seeds he planted so many years ago in his daughter Denise and the next 2 generations to follow. Job well done here on earth! RIP Lisa Morgan
