  1. I share in your sorrow. Blessings on you and your family, and all victims of stalking.

  2. I just lit my candle for Morgan. I never met her, but I will never forget her. Love and peace to the Ingrams.

    • Perfect thing to say – I keep remembering her showing me her ballet moves, singing while playing the piano, playing with the dogs, baking cakes with her friends and going on road trips with us…then I start to reminisce about meeting her at the airport in June of 2011 when she landed, and her little niece was there to meet her saying, “Gigi on plane, Gigi on plane!” And Morgan was so excited to see her when she got off the plane.

      We will remember all the great memories all day today…thanks.

  4. This is a beautiful picture for a beautiful soul. May Morgan rest in peace and may all of you find comfort in your memories of her. She will always be your light and guide you.

  5. Beautiful!

    Hi Toni & Steve when you get a second will you tell us what email or where to send our photos?
    Thank you! Chayse

  6. I have been following you for months Tina and pray for justice for Morgan. I am using your story to teach my children about personal safety and awareness, but also about the fact that there is darkness in this world and hopefully light will prevail…for Morgan. For this hope, my four children and I light a candle today in memory of Morgan. Love and hugs from Mesa, AZ.

  7. Thank you so much Ashley – especially for sharing with your kids so they can be aware of what is out there as we all try to change the darkness to light.

  8. Dear Toni and Steve,
    I have been following your blog since I saw you both on Dr. Phil. My heart breaks for you over the loss of Morgan and the suspicious events surrounding her murder. I am praying that her case is reopened and that you find justice for your baby girl.
    I too, have lost a child, my son, at age 6, in 2011. Noah died suddenly in his sleep, and his autopsy report read “Natural Causes” as well for his cause of death. There were no suspicious events around his death, but it still is painful not to know the actual reason we lost him. Losing a child is the worst thing in the world. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of his smiling face and all the joy he gave to those around him
    My candle is lit for Morgan today, in her precious, joyous memory. Know that you and your family are in my prayers. I think what you are doing with this blog is very brave, as I am sure that it is difficult to write each day on your part. I know that it will help some young girl in the future, and I’m sure that Morgan is so proud, and smiling down on you today. Many hugs…..

  9. Candle lit in Richmond, VA, for Morgan. Praying for peace, comfort and answers for you and your family.

  10. I am thinking of sweet Morgan today and celebrating her beautiful life. We lit a candle in our home for her that will burn all day in Morgan’s honor. Toni you were the first thing I thought of when I got up today…knowing that this day may be difficult for you. But I know that you are cherishing all of the wonderful memories of Morgan and thinking of the good times. I think that Morgan would be SO proud of the work you are doing to find justice for her. God bless you, Toni – you truly are a mother warrior. Morgan is flying with the other angels, and I believe that she is with you – always.

    • Thanks Stephanie – I was dreaming of Morgan before I even woke up this morning. She will always be in my heart and by my side. She gives me the strength to go on every day and I love her so much she makes me the mother warrior and I will be fierce! Take care!

  11. God Bless you both, I have said a prayer,lit a candle, and may Morgan rest in Peace. Today is also my fathers day of passing 40 years ago. They never leave our hearts!!! May you find peace today!!! I love you both.

    • Tammy – I will light an extra candle for your friend as well – maybe they are both together in this fight agains stalkers?

  12. I just started reading your blog a few days ago and today you and your family weigh heavily on my thoughts. I pray for comfort and strength for you and your family. I hope your blog will bring justice to Morgan. God’s Blessings to you.

  14. Im praying for justice to come soon, this truly a nightmare for the rest of the community.JUST wondering who is now being stalked by these animals….please someone with help this

  15. Melissa – thank you so much for your comment. I thought by the one year anniversary an investigation would have been launched, but I was wrong. I won’t give up though – this person is still out there and needs to be caught. Thanks for praying for justice!

  16. Toni, Steve, & Morgan,

Tonight I will leave my porch light on and have started burning a candle is morning that I will let burn until it goes out. such a beautiful picture you have posted I know Morgan is proud of all that you are doing in honor of her. I know this will never be easy buy I really hope that it gets easier each day. all of your family has had such an impact on my life.
    Morgan was taken way too soon. Today I hope you find comfort with each other and Morgans memory. such a beautiful angel, which I’m sure is dancing and knitting away!

    Cassie

    • Cassie – the image of Morgan dancing and knitting away in Heaven brought a smile to my face…thank you! I am glad we have had an impact on your life and I hope we can help many, many people before our time on earth is past. Hugs!

  18. Toni I just want to thank you for the awareness you’re raising and letting us all get to know Morgan. What a beautiful young woman. Every time I see a dragonfly I think of her, and there are many here in Florida. Stay strong, you have so much support all over the world and we are all here for you to lean on. Morgan will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with you and your family today, and always with Morgan. xoxoxo

    • Thank you Erin – I am so happy I could show Morgan to people through he own eyes with her own photographs. We will never give up on the other victims of stalking and we will continue to pursue justice for Morgan – thank you for your support!

  19. A lady above said it perfectly…I never met Morgan, but I, too, will never forget her. I’ve said a prayer for you and Steve every time I’ve thought of you today. God bless you and your family! <3

  20. I lit a beautiful ginger and magnolia candle for your whole family and said a prayer for love and healing.

  21. I lit my favorite Christmas candle in honor of Morgan tonight. May her spirit continue to light the way to justice for her sweet soul and your family. God bless.

  22. Coast to coast, the lights are lit, from NY to you, they shine brightly for Morgan and to comfort you.

    • I can really feel it – thank you there is so much love out there for everyone caring for everyone else!

  24. Toni- We watied until today to decorate our tree and lit the angel up top for morgan. We have a candle going for her as well. I hope your family finds some peace.

  26. Prayers to you and your family today. We lit our candle in front of our pineapple plant today in honor of Morgan. Just like our plant is growing so is the awareness about stalking growing because of your story. I am so sorry for your loss, but know that Morgan is watching over you everyday.

  28. Toni, Today would have been my mom’s 74 bday….she has been gone 29 years…and my gramma has been gone 6 years ago today…..I think every year on this day I will think of Morgan along with my family…..God bless you all!!!!

    • Thank you so much for including Morgan – I will say a prayer for your mom and gramma too.

  29. Our gingerbread house is glowing brightly for Morgan to tonight. Love and prayers to all of you! Xo, Ashley in Las Vegas.

  30. Sounds like a very loving light coming from your gingerbread house – I know Morgan will love it – she loved anything having to do with baking 🙂

  31. I too lit a candle for Morgan tonight. I know words can’t take away the pain and sorrow you have experienced in the last year but I hope that knowing the lives you are changing everyday with this blog gives you some sort of comfort. I am a 23 year old female college student and I read your blog everyday. Since I began reading I have become much more vigilant of my surroundings and I have urged my friends and family to do the same. Morgan’s story is positively impacting so many people, thank you so much for sharing it with us.

  32. God bless you Terri and all of your family. I have been reading your blog for a while but never commented before. I have thought about you and your family a lot today. I am so sorry for your loss. You are an amazing person, mom and advocate!! Such a strong woman, and an inspiration!! Keep fighting for your daugher!!! She can see what you are doing for her.

  34. 3 candles lit and as I sat down praying to Morgan to help you find Justice for her I heard a few words in my head and they were so silly and so not even related. I’m going back to praying.

  36. I am so sorry for your loss 🙁 As a mother I cannot begin to comprehend how you and your husband are feeling and would never wish this on anyone. I have followed your blog and am just so sad about all of it and cannot understand why the law enforcement in that community can continue to operate as it has. As an adult and a paralegal student I am just shocked that this case was allowed to be closed the way it was and that a lawyer has not yet been able to reopen this case for you. I am sure that we, as the public, do not have nearly all of the details but if even half of the story is true (which I believe it is), the law enforcement in that community has to have violated at least several standards that most other departments in larger areas would have considered prudent.
    Again, I am so sorry and will continue to pray for you and your family that you find justice for Morgan!

    • Thank you so much Melissa – and don’t be frustrated this case will be reopened of that I am very confident!

  37. My thoughts have been with you guys, Toni, Steve, and Morgan and also with my sister all weekend. Friday evening I went to a work party with my fiance and one of his co-workers wives that I had met before came to our table to say hello. With my mind being on the loss of loved ones so much lately, when she came up behind me and placed her hand on my shoulder and said, “Well there you are, I’ve been looking for you,” all I heard was my sister’s voice and when I looked up and back over my right shoulder, I could only see part of her face, and I saw my sister, and my heart stopped and even though there was about 30 people in the room all talking at once, the room went silent, I was suddenly alone and my mind was racing. This happened all within a matter of seconds, and my mind initially surged with happiness and thought, “OMG, she is alive, it WAS all a mistake and she found me!” But as quickly as my mind raced searching for an answer to explain this, my mind also realized what was going on, and as quickly as the happiness in me surged, the reality set in and I started breathing again and the noise of the room came back to me and a panic attack was setting in and I was now hyperventilating and tears were streaming down my face. In those few seconds of all that racing through my mind, my friend could see it all over my face and immediately knew something was wrong and asked me if I was ok; when she said this is when the reality of it all set in and I started hyperventilating and crying and all I could blurt out was, “You just looked and sounded exactly like my dead sister,” and she apologized immediately and grabbed me by the hand and pulled me out of the restaurant and sat with me outside until the anxiety peaked and passed and I could stop crying. Then on Saturday afternoon as I was sitting outside in the sun waiting on my fiance to do something inside his house, I was just laid back in the car seat in the driveway with the windows down my eyes closed, thinking about my sister and Morgan. I was thinking about Morgan because well, the date it was and my daily checking in on the blog and keeping up with your progress to get the case reopened. At one point I opened my eyes and noticed a little dragonfly hanging onto the antenna of the car within arms reach. The wind was blowing something fierce and this little guy just hung there, wings and tail being pushed around in the wind and all I could think was, I wonder if Morgan really knows about and hears all the people out there thinking about her and if the dragonfly was her way of acknowledging that. I know for me there have been plenty of small things that have happened in my life that have led me to believe it was a sign from my sister letting me know she’s still around. Anywho, I just wanted to share that small bit, let you guys knows you truly are in lots and lots of peoples thoughts and we all hope and wish for the best to the two of you. You guys have the strength to do this, that is blatantly obvious 😉 Just don’t forget, you are allowed to trip and fall and cry and scream and weap, just so long as when you are done you get right back up and continue going. Always here cheering you on from Texas! TEAM MORGAN!

    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have left. – Author Unknown

    • Oh thank you so much – I am sure that little dragonfly holding on as hard as it could to be with you was a sign…I am so sorry about your sister and what you just said was said so beautifully! We do trip and fall and we do cry (especially yesterday) and we do scream and weap but I always remember from when I was a child and when we had our ranch that when you fall off your horse (I don’t care how much it hurts) you dust yourself off and get right back on and that’s what we do. We woke up this morning to a beautiful sign from nature that things were starting to turn around and they are! Thank you for being part of our strength!

      • You are so very welcome 🙂 In haste to leave the first comment I left out one interesting detail about that little dragonfly. It was there with me until my fiance came out and we left his house which was about 10-15 minutes after I first noticed it hanging on. Anywho, you’re exactly right, it doesn’t matter how much it hurts, you get right back up and dust yourself off and get back on. I’m delighted to hear that things are starting to turn around. I really hope to hear of more and more progress. I’m more than happy to be a part of and to continue to be a part of your strength!! Keep up the wonderful work that you know Morgan is smiling down upon. She’s cheering you on too ya know 🙂

  38. I learned about your story on the Dr. Phil show. since then, I have read your entire blog. I’m so sorry for your loss. I keep reading and think I’m reading a book but then have to shake myself and realize that this is real life. I hope those involved are brought to justice.

    • Ashley Steve and I feel the same way and will not quite until we can find justice for Morgan and today I feel stronger than ever before that this will happen. Thanks for your support!

    • Thank you so much! The pictures we have received from all over the world just proves to us that there is so much love for victims of stalking and laws will change.

  40. Toni and Steve-Just lit a candle when I finally got home after a long day. Morgan is in my thoughts and prayers today as are you both. Sending love and peace to you from Boston, MA. xo

    • Thank you Emily – I know Morgan is smiling down on everyone sending love for all the stalking victims and showing their solidarity lighting candles.

  42. Sending love and prayers for peace in your hearts and justice for you and Morgan. Love from Chile, Yvette

  43. Yvette – thanks so much for your love and prayers, it’s all we need to keep going. Take care!

  44. Will you be writing what happened the night before? I recall you saying she was feeling sick the last week of her life but it doesn’t seem that way? Can you tell us more? Will you keep wiring please? I understand its hard but it’s the key to keeping this going and helping the victims of stalkers!

  45. Toni, prayers and light to you and your family. I am chatting with a news reporter so that your story hits the news waves so that JUSTICE can be served. I feel so terrible for you. When are you finishing the blog? I think that will definitely help in getting this viral.
    I hope you and Steve are mustering all the strength you can find. And in desperate times, you can look into the faces of your animal babies and know that Morgan is communicating through them to you.

    • Oh Sully you are so right about her animal babies…they always look us in the eyes and try to communicate and it’s the strangest thing but when Steve or I are crying Morgan’s little dog just knows and comes flying up or down to whatever level of the house we are on and she jumps up and furiously licks our tears away…she is so sweet just like Morgan.

      Thank you for chatting with a reporter – I do believe this whole thing is getting a lot more traction lately. I will be finishing up about Morgan’s murder this week but the blog will not stop – there is too much information about what happened to Morgan even after that date so it will continue on. There are so many layers to this and I feel strongly that very soon a law enforcement investigation will be opened so most of the critical evidence can not be let out yet but there will be enough I promise you.
