Candlelight Memorial For Morgan tomorrow, December 2nd on the one year anniversary of her murder

Posted on by
New Plan for Morgan Jennifer.
 
There has been so much talk about a candlelight memorial for Morgan, and it is a great idea.  Steve’s brother came over on New Years Eve last year with floating lanterns – we wrote our hopes and prayers on them and then lit them, and sent them into the sky.  It was magical and healing.
 
As best as we know at this time, Morgan died the morning of December 2nd and with the help of a few suggestions and a whisper in my ear I have a plan.  Any of you out there who would like to join us in spirit,light a candle.  Steve and I will be lighting one at 6 AM, the time we found her. And we will pray for Morgan and for all of the other victims of stalking.  It is such a horrible crime taking everything. Your privacy, your feelings of safety, it can force you to move, to try and disappear from the world you love, and it can sometimes even take your life.  Victims of stalking suffer immeasurably and their loved ones suffer right along with them.  It is a crime that needs to be stopped, and taken with seriousness that is not present in the fight against stalking today.
 
I know how much it would mean to Morgan to fight stalking in her memory, and Steve and I shall always be willing and proud to carry that banner for Morgan. 
 
So if you do join anytime tomorrow with a candle and a thought for the victims of stalking we thank you so much and if you take even a cell phone photo of your candle and email it to me (through this website contact) a graphic artist has volunteered their talents to symbolize it in Morgan’s memory and that will represent the fight against stalking out of all of the pictures.
 
Think of Morgan – but think of all of the others too, they need us.

  2. Another great thing is leaving ur porch light on…although we know our loved ones are not returning.. the light shows we continue to wish them home with us… Xoxoxo.. the porch light will be on when u come home… and you’ll never lose your way..

  5. Toni, You really need to turn this into a book…With the proceeds you could help alot of organizations in Morgan’s benefit. I was a victim of stalking also. He came into my bedroom and tried to kidnap me and physically abused me to the point of needing plastic surgery. I know what it’s like to live in fear. I have been reading your blog ever since I saw you on Dr. Phil. If this was a book I would definitely purchase it as I’m sure many others would. So very sorry for your loss. I will be thinking about Morgan as I’m sure everyone else will in the days to come. I too will leave my porch light on….

    • I am so sorry you had to live through that – I pray that the strength you are showing now just writing this continues on through your life…you are an inspiration to others. And that you for your kind words about turning this into a book – if it will be able to help others I will definitely look into that. Thank you for living your porch light on for Morgan – the light across the world will definitely be seen up in Heaven.

      • I will light a candle for Morgan and leave my porch light on as well. I am one of what I am sure were many people who mentioned helping with a memorial in Carb. I really like this idea of a candle lighting and photo taking memorial. When will you present the petition to the Gov.? Do you want a coalition of Morgan’s warriors with you? Whatever you and Steve want or need we are here for you and your family. Just ask! Sending you and your family LOVE and light, and lots of hugs.

        • Oh thank you so much! I will let you know really soon when we will be presenting the petition and it would be so wonderful to have a coalition of Morgan’s warriors by our side – you are amazing! Thanks for the suggestion. Hugs back to you.

  6. Dearest Toni & Steve… Today has been a very emotional day for me. I woke up, read your blog and have been crying all day. Im sometimes breaking down and crying for no reason, then i realized that im crying for Morgan. I havent been this emotional in years. So please know that i will leave the light on my porch and continue crying hysterically for our precious Morgan. Im a stranger and this has affected my life tremenously. I can only imagine what your beautiful family is going through. I will continue praying for justice, for our LORD to serve HIS justice on that sick BASTURD (and his crew) who did this. Just so he will be permanently stopped so he wont continue destroying lives.

    • We have been crying all day too. Thank you for sharing with us and thank you for caring so much about Morgan. Love you!

    • Luc, this story has also affected my life tremenously as well. I check this blog daily to check for an update and hope for positive news happening currently.
      My porch light will be on and a candle will be lit.

      • Thank you so much – I hope sometime down the road good things will come out of this tragedy and others will be saved.

  8. we will light a candle for morgan and leave it burning all day. bless your hearts. She is in a place better than we could imagine and she is always right by your side watching over you and steve. I’m grateful you shared your story with the world. I do hope justice is served soon! love and light. Try to keep your head up tomorrow we all know it won’t be easy but you do have morgan’s army behind you.

  9. I will be lighting a candle for Morgan. She has been on my mind everyday. I would like to help start a petition or bill to get stalking to be a more punishable crime and for law enforcement to take it more serious!!

  10. Aloha,
    I was one of Morgan’s ballet classmates a couple of years ago. We were only classmates for a short period of time (one semester), but she left a strong impression on my life. She was a beautiful girl who always came to ballet with a positive attitude. She would sometimes come to class with the biggest smile on, showing us any ballet attire gifts you guys bought her on trips to LA or things like that. I no longer live in Colorado, but was really troubled when I read about her death.

    But, I want to let you know, through that she inspired me to start dancing again, and even to learn to know. She brought so much beauty and positive energy to this life and this world and it’s really what the world needs.

    Tonight I have a performance and I’ve known from the very beginning that I would be dancing on this night for Morgan. There are many many people who keep your daughter’s beautiful spirit alive, and she deserves the recognition.

    Krista

    • Oh Krista that was such a wonderful thing to share with us. We know how Morgan has always been when it came to enjoying people and life but it really helps to hear it from others and I really do appreciate you dancing for her tonight – I know she will have a big smile on her face! Hugs!

  12. Toni and Steve, I will leave my porch light on and light a candle for Precious Morgan. You all have been on my mind for day’s. BIG HUGS for you both, at this very hard time.

  13. I have not read any posts for a number of days…I found it so hard, knowing what was coming. Part of me irrationally was hoping that it all ended so differently. My prayers are with you tonight, that God will comfort you and give you His peace. My porch light will be on all night, and my candle will be lit all day.

    • Thank you for your kindness – I can feel God by our sides and it is really helping us through this hard weekend.

  15. Toni, I have been thinking of Morgan and your family all day. I pray for you and yours to get thru tomorrow knowing how many people stand behind you, and how much love and beauty Morgan obviously brought while here. We will be lighting a candle here for her.

    • Thank you Michelle – tonight I keep thinking I wish I didn’t have to wake up tomorrow but I know I will and I know with all the prayers and strength people are sending our way we can get through this and keep moving forward to get justice for Morgan and help others.

  16. Toni and Steve- sending you love, prayers,strength and peace- I will be lighting a candle for Morgan and keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers <3

  17. May love and light fill your home tomorrow. I will also be lighting a candle and leaving my porch light on. I too have been reading your blog for a long time now. I stopped for awhile because is was so hard to feel your pain and loss. I had to catch up tonight and let you know that Morgan is truly loved and will be in so many hearts around the world. You have made that happen and you should feel very proud of all that you have accomplished this year. I know that Morgan is smiling down on you both and will continue to be with you as you tell her story and fight for her justice.

  18. Today is the first Sunday of Advent, Dec. 2, 2012. We will be lighting our Advent Wreath’s first candle today. As we do so, our family will remember Morgan, and offer our Masses for your intention that you see justice done and soon!

  19. P.S. For those of you reading may not know, Advent is a great time of hope and anticipation. The Faithful wait in joyful hope for the coming of Our Lord, with His grace and mercy. May you find hope, joy, grace and mercy today! <3

  21. We have our porch light on and will be lighting a candle to burn all day. Much love to you and prayers! Morgan will be hugging you all day with her Angel wings. We will be thinking about you all day.

  22. Sending loving and healing thoughts into the cosmos for you and Steve. I know that Morgan is with you and guiding you everyday on your quest. From our family to yours, much love and light.

  23. I am going to put a special Angel ornament on our Christmas tree this year in Morgan’s memory and for all stalking victims… May you know you are never alone!! God Bless you and your family, Toni and Steve!!

  24. Thinking of you both today. My deepest sympathy is with you. I hope that for all that has been lost twice the good comes from it. Tradegy struck but God has a way of making things fair in the end. Whomever is living day to day with their life and has taken Morgans, is one very sick, sorry and sad soul. One day this will eat them alive and the justice Morgan and you all deserve will set in. For now, we can all love her from what you have shared and see what a wonderful angel she is. You show us all tremendous strength and courage. I believe she was an angel on earth is well. She is still touching souls daily and helping others through your writing. You are following your heart and one day it will take you right back to her. She is with you every moment, probably smiling and telling you and Steve it will be ok.

  25. I have lost lived ones, the hardest to lose was my mom & dad. What kind if helps me sometimes is to talk to them. Sometimes when I’m working around the kitchen I’ll have a conversation with my mom and imagine what she would respond. I’m not crazy, lol, it’s just my way of keeping their memory alive and in a way it can be comforting and even help decision making when I need advice. I will light a candle now and keep the porch light on tonight as well.

  27. Dear Toni and Steve, Sandra and I are lighting a candle for Morgan and leaving the porch light on. I will dance tonight in memory of your precious daughter who loved you very much. I will always remember her voice and the joy she was in ballet class. The world has lost a beautiful soul and a gifted mind. I pray that we will overcome for her sake. Let this become a day of hope. Help us bring deliverance for other victims of stalking. Help us prevail. May the goodness and mercy of Christ cause us to rise above the injustice of cruelty. Holy Spirit, breathe the fire of passion and eternal love so that we may be instruments of God’s goodness in this world. Amen
