Sister Donna Morgan's Funeral

Sister Morgan's funeral will be held this Wednesday, October 19th at the Stake Center. The viewing will be from 11am - 12:45pm and the funeral will begin at 1pm.

Sister Morgan was an amazing woman in countless ways. She was a Mother, a Teacher, a wonderful friend. She was strong and brave and had such unwavering faith in the Lord. She was an amazing example and a beautiful person.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Donna's family at this time. We loved her so much. The person that she has been has truly made a difference.

I have included the following link simply because it is beautiful like Donna was and because I often associate beautiful music with Donna. She enjoyed good music and shared that joy with many of us.

We love you, Donna.

We have already received so many offers of help from so many of you. What a wonderful ward, we are so blessed. We will need help with the food for the luncheon for the family. Below is a general idea of what will be served at the luncheon. If you there is anything from the list that you would like to sign up to bring we would really appreciate it. Please contact Sister DeEtte Bastian (475-3881) or a member of the Relief Society Presidency.

We ask that you deliver the food to the kitchen entrance at the church on Wednesday before the funeral begins but we will get back to you with the time tomorrow.

Thanks for everything. We love you all.

Love, Your Relief Society Presidency

Sister Donna Morgan

Dear Sisters, We wanted to let you all know that our wonderful Sister, Donna Morgan has passed away. She passed early this morning. Donna will be deeply missed.

Donna was an amazing and strong lady. She loved the Lord and she deeply cared about people. I cannot imagine anyone meeting Donna and not being changed for the better. She was an example and an inspiration to us all.

We love Donna and we will miss her so much. Donna was ready to return to her Father in Heaven and I know he will be glad to have this beuatiful daughter with him again too.

I am so thankful for the knowledge that we have that we can return to our Father in Heaven. It gives me such comfort to know that Donna is in heaven and all is well for her there.
