Morgan was a true friend to me. We would always meet at recess so we could go play with each other. She never stopped fighting until the end. Her happy attitude has inspired me to live my life as if every day was my last. I want to thank her family for all the time that we all got to spend with her. She is my inspiration and example on how to live the rest of my life. Thank you Morgan.

Perhaps Morgan would say this to you if she could:

Thank you so for loving me- you know I love you too.
That's why it was hard to say goodbye-and end this life with you.

I won't be far I promise that- and hope you will always know- My spirit will be close to you wherever you may go!

She was so lucky to have you- and you were so blessed to have her!

Ron & family, It is an extreme hardship that you all are going through. I believe that your sweet grand-daughter/daughter/sister, was watched over by our loving Heavenly Father while she was here on earth, and has been welcomed home by Him. Heavenly Father loves each of his children and desires for all of us to return to him as well. You can be reunited forever as an eternal family. I know that is what Morgan is hoping for. Love each other with all your heart, do your best to live truthfully, and you will see her again.

Palmer Family,

Our daughter Abigail Rich was assigned to be Morgan's "buddy" at Legacy Elementary. She shared with us great memories of spending time with Morgan and having the opportunity to read to her. We were heartbroken to hear of Morgan's passing as told to us through Abigail. She had a difficult time even telling us. Thanks for for allowing Morgan and her great spirit and personality to be a small part of our daughter's life. We will be thinking of your family and praying for you during this difficult time.

Dear Lisa, Brandon & Alexis,
We were saddened by the news that you had lost your beautiful little Morgan. We can't even begin to imagine your pain. But she is in her Heavenly Father's arms now and doesn't have to be in pain anymore!! This poem seems to say it all:

A CHILD LOANED

"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when she's gone.

It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, til I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?

She'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;

Now will you give her all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take her back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for her
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand'.

We love you all and extend our heartfelt sympathies at this sad time.

Love, Aunt Annette, Danielle & Brandon

Dear Grandma Debbie;
It is so sad to lose your grand-daughter before your own time has come. No one should have to bury a child. My own Mother died of cancer 3 years ago & I know what a devastating disease it is. I hope all your memories of Morgan will sprinkle you with sunshine in the years ahead.

Dear Palmer Family,
You don't me and have never met, but I heard of your story through me first learning of the tumor from Ashley Peterson's obituary and have been following your story along with Aiden Zaugg, Sadie Huish, Mara Adams, and others that are either still hanging on with this terrible monster or other that have passed. Your daughte was such a beautiful little lady. Even though you don't know me, I just want you to know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Please take comfort in knowing that other little children that have passed before her are now with her to run and play with. They have been waiting. Please email me if there is anything I can do for you.

Prayers and blessings and MUCH LOVE!!
