We are thankful to God for giving you to us and we take comfort in the knowledge that we will be with you again some day. It does not seem fair that you are gone from our touch, but you know how we loved you so much. A girl who sang like an angel, you were so funny and free. A wild spirit so meant to be. A best friend to so many and the twinkle in her parents eye, a cool big sister, the limit was the sky. Morgan, my dear, you made us all happy. You left us with such wonderful memories. First steps, first days of school, concerts, holidays, standing at the fridge for our midnight snacks. So many memories to cherish forever. What a girl, our angel, sent right from Heaven. We thank you, Baby, for your 18 years. We will continue to miss you through our many tears. But we know that you wouldn¹t want us to grieve, but you would want us to continue to believe. Your life was a celebration for all to see! We love you Morgan!
