Mark: You were more of a brother to me than a friend. Someday, I will hug your neck again, look you in the face, and talk to you about our amazing lives back here. Can't say when, but I'll see you again.

Nick: I met your Dad around 8th or 9th grade. We were close friends, even best friends, all through high school. When we graduated, I went to Texas A & M. The Engineering program was above my head, but I did bring back one thing from there to share with your Dad; it was called Ultimate Frisbee. I was your Dad's original frisbee partner. Somedays we would play all day. I'd like to say I was as good as him, but that wouldn't be right. He was always better than me. Ten years later, he was the best man at my wedding. I have three sons from that marriage, with the oldest, Michael, about your age. You probably don't know me, but I know you. Every time I see a picture of you, I see your Dad. Hang in there. It is as you say. Some day you will see him again.

To the family of Mark Morgan, I knew Mark his entire life. Having boys of my own who were the same age as the Morgan boys, Mark spent time in my home with our family. He and my son Charles are the same age and were friends. I have many cherished memories of them growing up together. My heart is heavy with grief for this loss and for Mark's family. Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that I'm praying for God to comfort you all.

April 7, 2010

Dad,

It's still so hard knowing you're gone....I miss and think about you every day...I know you're watching over me but it's not enough sometimes...You were a bigger part in my life than you'll ever know. I can't wait to see you again!

I love you.

Nicholas, when I first heard of Mark's (your dad's) passing I was saddened and broken hearted for the entire family. What a loss! When I first meet your dad as a young man, he was so tall, handsome and energetic.
Life is not only a "Journey" but a "Book" with chapters that fill our life. Whether happy or sad these chapters make up your Book of your life. Nick, try to reflect on the happy memories of your "Book". Know that you are your Daddy's son and he loved you very much.
Over time I have seen you grow into a handsome young man,so much like your dad and your Daddy shines through you.
Just as your dad was special, so are you. You have a wonderful heritage and family, who serve and love God and He will comfort and carry you all through this most difficult time. He knows your grief, sorrow and pain as you will see in Isaiah 53:4. He will carry you.

Mark was not here by chance but by God's choosing, to fulfill a purpose that only he could fill. He was indeed a very special person, to know him was to love him. His easy going care free ways and contagious smile will forever be remember by all who knew him. He was a gift that God share with us for awhile, and you Nicholas, our precious grandson was the greatest gift Mark gave to us. Every time you smile we see your daddy and will always see him when we see you. As you and your family feel this deep sense of loss be reminded that just as God's hand was on your Dad's life so is His hand on your life, leadng, guilding and uplifting and He will carry you in this difficult time. As Mark is resting in God's care, you also are in His care. Nicholas, our precious grandson, please remember you are our special gift and you have our love and prayers always.

" O Lord, You are the portion of my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen in pleasant places, Yes, I have a good inhertiance.... You will show me the paths of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At You right hand pleasures forevermore. (Psalms 16: 5-6, 11)

To the family of Mark Morgan,
My memory of the Morgan Family reach back to th middle 50's when my pastor
was a dear friend to Rev A T Morgan Sr.
I had no way of knowing that I would grow up and again my life would be touched by the A T Morgan (this time A T Jr) family. In the early 70's I came in contact with 2 more Morgans'. This time it was Tim and Mark. Tim was big brother in this scenario but Mark was right behind pullng up fom the rear as fast as he could as little brother. Its breath taking as to how fast little brothers become men. Mark made his way sometimes quietly and sometimes mischieviously with that grin that made you want to, "What are you up to NOW ! MARK ?"
Years have gone but memories live on and I am thankful for the wonderful memories my family have of this family. May God bless and keep you all.
With Love,
Randall and Frances Bryant
Longview, Tx

Nicholas,
We never personally knew your dad; however, we have known your grandparents, Tommye & Kendall Pierce and children, for many years. They are great people and dear friends. We are praying God will still the storm in your family’s life and give you all peace in this time of sorrow.

Pamela Oates

Nicholas, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray that our Lord fills your heart with sweet memories of your dad during this sorrowful time.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Love will never die; memories will still be there and should be treasured forever. Our memories of Mark will keep him alive in our hearts. I have very fond memories of him. He was my first in-law. Mark was a care-free soul - never judging. He had a beautiful smile. Mark was a talented guy. He taught me to play “Saturday in the Park” (by Chicago)on the piano. How awesome he was on the saxophone. He played a little drums too. Not to mention he could sing. I vividly see him barefoot with no shirt, in short pants throwing a Frisbee. I loved to hear him laugh…..it was so genuine. I will miss him. Catalina, Clydine, Tom, Tim, Steve, & the rest of the Morgan family we are thinking and praying for you. Sending you our thoughts, peace and courage. May God grant you peace that passes understanding. To his children, Nicholas and Arthur, no words can express how deeply sad we are for the loss of your Dad. It’s sad to have lost such a great person. But it was a miracle to have had him in the first place. You’ll always be a part of our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.

Tommye & Kendall Pierce

March 22, 2010

Mere words are not enough to take way your grief. So we rely in our belief. We find hope and strength in our faith.
Strength for everyday and hope for tomorrow. May He, Our God, uplift you gently each day and give you strength to bear your sorrow and hope for tomorrow. Praying that the God of all comfort bring healing to each of you, Mark is safely in His Care.

March 22, 2010

God saw you getting tired and healing was not meant to be, so He put his arms around you and whispered "Come with Me". With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, laying loving hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Nicholas

March 22, 2010

You might be gone to this world but you will never be gone to me. You will always be in my heart. I will never forget you. I know that you're watching over me. I'll look up from time to time to say hello. You're my guardian angel now. I wish I could be with you but you're in a better place. God has you in his arms and that's where you need to be. I'll be with you one day and we'll spend eternity on the streets of gold. Goodbye for now, I love you Dad,

Your loving son,

Nick

I hadn't seen you in so many many years, but I can still remember the fun we had in our Youth Group at the First United Pentecostal Church of Orange, Texas. Those were the days. I never thought that I would have to see you leave us at such a young age. Your destination in life has been fulfilled, but I pray for the rest of your family. Rest in Peace.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

From our family to yours our deepest condolences. Mark will be missed.
I hope to always remember the moments we spent together. From those youthful days spent romping through the woods, stopping to take in the sweet smell of the dogwood in bloom to the spring time hours on end spent throwing frisbee.
May Mark's memory live on in our hearts and souls.
