Dear Morgan Family, My Grandfather (Herbert Livesay) thought the world of Speed. They passed jokes back and forth and found a friend in each other. Later when my Grandfather was sick Speed didnt give up on him. He continued to visit and cheer my Grandad up. He was a very nice man and I know that he will be greatly missed. Our family is thinking of you at this time.

Tina,Melba, Ronnie,Leah and Families,
I do not know how to express myself to you all;
in this small space;but I will try. You all know ;I think; what all
of you have meant to me over the years. Please
know that my thoughts and heart is there with
you at this time of sorrow and I would be there
if I could. The world has lost another one of the best.
