I knew Stephanie when I worked at Statham Elementary. She was always thoughtful, cheerful, funny and totally optimistic about her future. She loved teaching and each child in her class had a special place in her heart. She lived her faith in every aspect of her life. Statham has lost an angel.

Ms. Morgan was such a great inspiration to me, my wife and my 3 kids. We were blessed to have her teach 2 of my 3 kids, as well as had the pleasure of living next to her. Every year she would take my kids to pick strawberries, and they loved that and looked forward to it all the time. We could not have asked for a better neighbor, friend, or teacher. There are very few Ms. Morgans in this world today, and you will truly be missed. God Bless You and your family.
