    Mrs. Mary Morgan…one of the kindest souls I have ever met. I am a UNC Pharmacy School grad and I rented an apartment from Mrs. Mary while in school. She was a good person and friend and is a large part of the reason I made it through pharmacy school. The entire time I was in school she only charged me $150 monthly, no utilitites, can you believe that? I am sure she is sorely missed by her family and friends. All God’s blessings to you and yours, Mary!
