\u00a0Thanks for blessing our lives with your lovely adventurous kind spirit. \u00a0I really enjoyed our time hanging out meditating, playing charades, taking backwards pictures, painting, cross dressing, dancing, contemplating the beauty of life and people, and whatever else we shared&#8230;God bless you. \u00a0It was blissful in a way I can&#8217;t even describe&#8230;May your spirit meander on and spread love! &#8211; Patrick<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>* Dear Morgan, words can not explain how heart broken I am. \u00a0Whenever I saw you, you would come up to me and give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. \u00a0I loved it when you came to my high school and just sat around doing college work. \u00a0My friend Travis told me about what happened, I could not believe it. \u00a0I thought it was a joke&#8230;me not having slept for 4 days and hearing about this made me fall to the ground and sob in my friends dorm room. \u00a0You are now part of everyone who loved you dearly. \u00a0I will take some of your beauty and keep it with me forever. \u00a0I will forever miss you. \u00a0Love from all of my heart &#8211; Carina<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>* A shadow came in the night to steal your beautiful soul, your light in this world will be sorely missed. \u00a0All I can hope is that wherever you may be, you&#8217;re at peace and know how loved you are. \u00a0Rest in peace Morgan, I hope you realize what an impact you had on so many lives. &#8211; Nicoe<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u00a0* The Skate Fairy&#8230;she&#8217;d sit for hours while we skated, watching, while knitting or hipsta-maticing, completely content; one of my greatest motivators while behind the lens, anything I composed or created, she&#8217;d have something to say. \u00a0She was exceptional, she was Morgan. &#8211; Loren<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>* You made me laugh, and you made every room you were in smile. \u00a0Your beauty and soul will shine on forever &#8211; Adam<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>*You were a beautiful, kind, loving, magical lady. \u00a0No matter where you are now, it is surely a more beautiful place with you in it. \u00a0You will be missed Morgan. &#8211; Catherine<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>* Today is the celebration of your life and I wouldn&#8217;t trade the whole world. \u00a0I have been thinking about you nearly every minute of everyday for the past few days and remembering the great times we had together, even from the good old Aspen Community School days. \u00a0Good times. \u00a0After those days, you and I went our own separate ways for awhile, but lucky for me I got the chance to reunite with you, and I couldn&#8217;t be happier for that chance, you were always there for me, when I was down and always there for me when I was sick, and no matter what, you made me feel better, and made me get up and do stuff. \u00a0I just want to thank you for all the good times I had with you and all the great memories we have that I will never EVER forget. \u00a0Also, I would like to thank you for all the things you taught me about all the brighter ways to look at the world, you will always have a huge spot in my heart, and nothing could ever change that. \u00a0You were like the big sister I never had, as well as one of my best friends by the end of it. \u00a0Thanks for everything. \u00a0RIP, you are loved dearly and remembered for eternity! Jordan<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>* Morgan Ingram&#8230;I have been waiting for the past maybe 5 hours hoping to God this was some insane sick joke. \u00a0Despite my wishes it has become apparent that this is not the case. \u00a0You were one of the most amazing people I&#8217;ve ever known, you helped me through a lot of things, for that I thank you for being such a lovely inspirational person. \u00a0Referring to you in the past tense makes me sick to my stomach, but you will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew you forever. Tyler<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>*Don&#8217;t know why it&#8217;s always the ones with the most beautiful souls that are taken. \u00a0The way you lit up a room when you&#8217;d walk in, you could change the whole feel of things. \u00a0Last time I had seen you after months, you changed my whole mood. \u00a0It&#8217;s crazy what can happen when you&#8217;re out of touch and what you can miss. \u00a0I&#8217;m really grateful to have been close to you when we were younger, I got to see how creative you were and just straight beautiful inside and out. \u00a0You were always so great to everyone, even strangers I&#8217;d see you run in to, you changed people&#8217;s lives, and isn&#8217;t that what life is about? \u00a0Putting an impact on someone&#8217;s life in a positive way? \u00a0I think that and if that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about then you sure did it right. \u00a0Man Morgan, everyone should wish to be the way you were, I&#8217;m sure everyone does and still does. \u00a0To have such a good outlook on everything and love things in a deeper more intense way. \u00a0I think you meet people for a reason, so you can learn either bad things to push away and learn good from someone like you to embrace. \u00a0I&#8217;m happy I met you and your artistic, loving soul. \u00a0You knew what peace was &#8211; I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re wrapped in it now. \u00a0So truly Morgan Rest in Peace, you are so missed, but never forgotten. &#8211; Sydney<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And even one really young girl:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
