Morgan came to spend time with the horses, especially Lil' Bit. She had a natural ease with them, a sweet, gentle heart and a beautiful smile.
We are so very sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you all.

My life will never be the same without you Morgan. The best friend I ever had. You've been the first thing on my mind when I wake up since this happened. So many memories flood my mind. Swimming in the creek, ruling leefield, bikes, and all the sleepovers. I love you and will never forget you. My thoughts are with your family through this difficult time. Until me meet again...

Morgan and I met when her and my brother dated while they were in high school. After they broke up we remained friends for the next 15 years and had some great times together. She was an amazing person and will be terribly missed by a large number of people. I love you Morgan RIP

Remembering a little girl running around in a purple tee shirt at Mom & Dad's playing on the swing set. Doesn't seem possible she is gone. My heart aches for all of you. Hugs. So sorry I cannot be there for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a good friend to me all the time I knew her, and she was gone away far too soon. She'll always be in my heart. I'm thinking of you, Mr. Jesse and your family as we all grieve for Morgan and for all those she left behind. I wish she was still with us and it hurts to say goodbye.

We wanted to come by and see you, but Sheryl said you weren't up for company. So please know that you are all in our prayers. Morgan was at my house just last week. We had pizza and sat around the table laughing about the antics the girls pulled when they were little, and how they would conspire to be able to spend the night with each other. Morgan brought a lot of love into our lives, and our lives are richer for her having been a part of it. God bless you all in this incredibly difficult time. Kathy and Tim Hawks
