The first New Years Eve without Morgan was on December 31, 2011.  Our wonderful family came over with balloon lanterns/Chinese lanterns/sky lanterns, they have many different names, but they are all basically the same.  These lanterns soar into the dark sky when lit.

It was an evening like no other.  In the silence of the night we all took colored markers and wrote our own special messages on each lantern, lit the fuel source inside, and watched them float upwards into the night sky, on their way up to Heaven.

We all needed to talk to Morgan.  We all needed to send her our love.  This was such a special and meaningful way to release some of our pent up emotions.  It felt like a lifting of our spirits to watch our messages fly into the night sky…never seeing where they went.  Only to believe they made it to Morgan, and she could read what we wrote.  Last night marked 4 years ago since that night…we are still missing Morgan, but we have learned to speak to her with our thoughts.  We know she hears us and her love is endless.

2016 is now the year that we believe in magic.  The magic that comes when the basic truth and facts in Morgan’s case finally bring about justice for Morgan.  The grief we experience daily from losing Morgan due to a heartless killer(s) will never go away, but the pain that we have lived with for the last 4 years will be lessened when justice is finally realized.

My wish for 2016 is justice for Morgan!  Wishing you a blessed and healthy New Year!

As promised here are some more pictures of candles that have been lit for Morgan.  There are thousands of people from all over the world that want to see justice for Morgan.  I truly believe this new year will bring about that justice.  It has been a long 4 years waiting, but because of the love & support of so many people that will never give up justice is inevitable.

As Rob Wells has said many times…

Murderers Living Amongst Us!

Colorado has a backlog of 1,750 unsolved murders dating back to 1970. The killers of these victims have never been prosecuted for these murders. They walk among us. They live in our neighborhoods. These murderers, who have escaped justice, pose a serious threat to the safety of every Colorado citizen.

Our daughter Morgan was murdered during an active investigation into her felony stalking in Carbondale, CO – right in her own home.  Morgan deserves justice and we are never going to give up.  Thank you all for your unending support over these past 4 years!

I was moving around a lot today, but no matter where I was, I kept at least one candle lit for Morgan.  -Nicole

When we were 25 (almost 12 years ago), my best friend died of cancer. I bought this candle for her then and I only light it on special occasions. I burned it for several hours tonight for Morgan.

In memory….

I can only pray that justice is served for you Morgan. May God be with your family on this day that the world is honoring your memory.

May she rest in peace – I’m so sorry for your tragic loss.

Thoughts and prayers to you and all victims of stalking.

Toni and Steve – I live in New Orleans and I have been reading your blog everyday. I work at a cheese shop here and I want you both to know that you have a large following of myself and my fellow employees. We worked with one of Morgan’s friends, Katie. We are sad for your loss, but we hope you find strength in knowing that you are doing good in spreading your message.

Much love and many thoughts. A candle for Morgan.

Thinking of you guys and your beautiful daughter. I went on a walk today with Charlie (my dog) and lit some candles. I love you guys!  – Emily
