We all just love you Jenna. I can't imagine losing my mother. I've watched you Interactions on survivor for almost 10 years now. And feel a strong love for you and your mother. A random fan's opinion is nothing to your real life......but I feel love for you now even after almost 20 years.

We knew Mike and Carla from the Hunting Ridge days. Carla was always so pleasant and kind. They were a very happy family. I am so sorry to hear about her untimely passing. Stay strong - she will always be with you.

Jenna and Morasca family,

I'm so so sorry to find out about this. I'm 13 years old and I have lost 2 grandmas and a grandpa. My grandpa had cancer so I know how tough the battle is. Everything always happens for a reason, and even though we don't always like it, there's a good reason behind it. Jenna, your mom is in heaven now and will always watch over you. Stay strong.

We have lost a wonderful person. Carla was so talented, and such a wonderful mom. She started every conversation with "Have you had a mammogram yet?" and she was not kidding. I loved her in high school, and loved her more as an adult. We were fellow "Wood Kids" from Peters Township Thespians, and she knew from the very beginning that Jenna was destined to be a star. I know that she is watching Jenna, still thrilled with her triumphs and successes, and she's loving her family and friends from Heaven.

Morasca family,

I am truly saddened by the untimely passing of Mrs. Morasca. I knew Carla from the Hunting Ridge community and did a little resume work for her--I have lost my mother to this ugly disease; my heart goes out to you. I heard of the sad news from a neighbor so I was unable to express my sympathy until now.

Old friends who are thinking of you,

Morasca Family,

My sympathies out to you for the loss of Carla. I am an avid viewer of Survivor and even though I don't care for Jenna at all, I still identify with her loss because I lost my father as well. My prayers are with you all. I hope Jenna can make it to the funeral services, as I have heard she's filming All Star Survivor. Good luck, and take care.

Tess Zadakaus.

When today starts without me,Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name.And took me by the hand; The angel said me place was ready,in Heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. For God looked down, smiled at me, and told me "Welcome Home" So when today starts without me Don't think we're far apart, For everytime you think of me I'm right there in your heart. In Deepest Sympathy from all of us. George Miller,Debbie, Lynne, Kim, Donna,Leslie, and Susan and Families

Dear Morasca family,

I'm really sorry about what happened. I feel so bad for Jenna because all Jenna talked about on survivor was Mrs. Morasca.

I know what you guys are going through. I lost my grandma in June of 2002, the I lost a close friend a day after last year's fourth of July, and finally I my dad died in November after a terrible heart attack in October.

Best of wishes to the whole family. God be with you guys till we meet again

Mrs. Morasca, my thoughts and prayers went out for you and yours when Jenna spoke lovingly of you on Survivor, and they go out for you and yours today as well. I also lost my Dad to cancer this summer, but only for a little while. I'll be looking for you in Heaven,

I just happen to be a big Survivor fan who saw how much Jenna loved her mom and dad! That love and concern for her mom truly touched me and redeemed her in my eyes for however she was portrayed in the show. In this time of bereavement, I hope that Jenna, her dad, and the rest of their family cope well with this great ordeal in their lives!

Believe that wherever Carla is now, she is truly happy and at peace for she gave a very good fight and at long last, she is free from all sorts of pain!!!

I am not family. I am not even a friend but I was shocked nevertheless when i first heard the sad news. Mrs. Morasca's fight for life and Jenna's love for her is one of the inspirational stories i tell the cancer-stricken kids whenever i do my volunteer work in the hospital. Condolences.

I feel I have lost a member of my own family. My children grew up in the same neighborhood as the Morascas. Susie and I have been friends for years. She always spoke proudly of her sons and their families. I send my sympathy and prayers for Michael, Jenna and all the families. Carla's illness brought out the good in so many people in the love and care with which they surrounded her. Praise God.

Dear Jenna and Mr. Morasca and Mrs. Morasca's family,

I am indeed very sorry for your loss. It is very sad that she passed at such a young age. Although I do not know you personally, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Jenna and Family, remember all of the good memories you shared together. Stay strong during this rough period.

Exactly 1 year ago I met Jenna during an adventure in the Amazon. During the hours I spent with Jenna while she talked of her Mom, I gained a new perspective of what it ment to be a true Survivor. I had the great fortune to meet this remarkable woman and am proud to say that the child that Carla gave all her hopes and dreams to is my friend for life. My prayers go out to the family in this time of sorrow.
