but it remained standing. \u00a0We all made breakfast, and then Morgan&#8217;s older brother and his family came over &#8211; throughout the day and into the night we had so many relatives and friends stopping by to talk, hug, cry and laugh. \u00a0We watched the dogs, cat, and our grandchildren all run and play so it was hard not to smile. \u00a0We all missed Morgan so very much, but at the same time we could all feel her presence among us, and I felt happiness again.<\/p>\n<p>Just before Christmas dinner, and with everyone there around us I was finally strong enough to read the little notes some of her cousins, Aunts and Uncles had written to Morgan on little pieces of paper, and tucked them into the miniature paper baskets, that were\u00a0made out of construction paper, that hung on the tree. \u00a0This is what they said:<\/p>\n<p>You inspired me to live my life fully and completely &#8211; I&#8217;ll miss you &amp; think of you, and carry you with me for the rest of my life &#8211; Cousin C.<\/p>\n<p>I remember Morgan at her older sister&#8217;s wedding. \u00a0The bridesmaids were running around doing all the last minute things you do to yourself to look perfect, but not Morgan, she walked out with her wings and looked so beautiful and so serene. \u00a0I was amazed at her composure. \u00a0Aunt C.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan, what a beautiful, talented, loving, intelligent young woman you are. \u00a0I know you&#8217;re an angel now looking after your mom and dad. \u00a0You are not gone, your spirit is still here to guide us, and encourage us to love one another. \u00a0Love &#8211; your Aunt E.<\/p>\n<p>Here is my heart message for Morgan and her family. \u00a0I, and hundreds of others who had the fortune to be a part of her life will take each breath deeper, laugh harder, and love with all our hearts. \u00a0Cousin E.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I had known you better&#8230;it&#8217;s so obvious that you are a wonderful lady. \u00a0We will miss you and you will always live in our hearts. \u00a0Cousin J.<\/p>\n<p>I thank Morgan for the gift of her photos. \u00a0She has captured the world through her eyes for us to always enjoy. \u00a0How did she know to do this? \u00a0I wish I could ask her, but somehow I know she will tell me anyway. \u00a0Uncle C.<\/p>\n<p>Life &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t end with passing time, we will be together again in the end. \u00a0Aunt Toni &amp; Uncle Steve I wish you didn&#8217;t have to go through this loss. \u00a0I love you. \u00a0Your angel is watching you from above and with you in your hearts. \u00a0I love you so much. \u00a0Cousin N.<\/p>\n<p>Though Morgan is no longer with us she will always be a part of us as we keep her in our thoughts and memories. \u00a0Love &#8211; Cousin R.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan &#8211; you will always be my call to awareness, a woman who lived her life immersed in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">awareness<\/span> &#8211; may we bring and share your life of grace to those we meet as you have! \u00a0You shall be sorely <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">missed<\/span>. \u00a0Love &#8211; Uncle R.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the pain of losing you is unbearable for those who loved you, I know every single one of us is glad to have been awakened in one way or another by your inspiring personality. \u00a0Cousin H.<\/p>\n<p>This is a wonderful season of love and hope as we celebrate the light of the world, and the light and life of Morgan. \u00a0Her love shines like a star &#8211; glowing forever. \u00a0Aunt A.<\/p>\n<p>We share an emptiness in the heart while Morgan is not with us, until we meet with her again. \u00a0Love &#8211; Uncle R (she had two uncle R&#8217;s)<\/p>\n<p>I remember first meeting Morgan, it was on a trip to Steve and Toni&#8217;s Snowmass house. \u00a0Ray, Ryan, Sean, and Scott were having a Super Soaker battle around the house. \u00a0Kristin and very young Morgan were in a small pool on the deck. \u00a0They were mostly innocent bystanders in that watery warfare. \u00a0I remember there were lots of laughs and giggles about the whole thing &#8211; I was most impressed that the two girls were so peaceful, and busy ignoring the water fight while playing themselves. \u00a0A happy, fun memory. \u00a0Uncle S.<\/p>\n<p>I always admired Morgan&#8217;s open loving nature. \u00a0We wouldn&#8217;t see her for years, yet when we did get together she would always embrace us as if we just saw her yesterday. \u00a0When you were with her you felt special. \u00a0Aunt C.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan, I&#8217;m sorry we&#8217;ve been so separated. \u00a0Every time we were together you were always a ray of sunshine, so kind, so accepting. \u00a0Thank you for your example of life and love. \u00a0I love you Morgan. \u00a0Cousin J.<\/p>\n<p>Although I only knew Morgan a short time, I learned that and saw and felt that she was a loving, caring, accepting, welcoming and selfless person. \u00a0She was a beautiful girl with a loving smile. \u00a0Thank you for taking time to come out and see us so I could have the blessing to get to know her better. \u00a0I love you! \u00a0I love Morgan. \u00a0I feel like she is happy &amp; I look forward to seeing her again someday. \u00a0Love Cousin L.<\/p>\n<p>I loved that Morgan embraced and love EVERYONE! \u00a0What a gift she had &#8211; that girl made every person she touched feel special. \u00a0I will never forget the first time she me my kids &#8211; she embraced them and said, &#8220;Welcome cousins&#8221; &#8211; wow! \u00a0I love her energy, she was magical. \u00a0Morgan is an inspiration to us all. \u00a0I love you sweet girl, Aunt T.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well we woke up Christmas morning and Morgan&#8217;s older sister, and her husband had bags of presents full of doggie and kitty toys for Morgan&#8217;s two little ones, Wylah May and Mogwai. \u00a0They seemed to be so happy playing with &hellip;
