Hi Karla and Russell, I vividly remember that fateful day at Desert Sky Middle School the morning after when they announced what had happened. I remember watching my classmates, breakdown- a lot of my female peers did gymnastics with Morgan and knew her. I later found out that one of my classmates had accompanied your daughter during that fateful tragic event. Your daughter was born 26 days after me, at a neighboring hospital to the one I was born at. It is incredibly serendipitous that I now work at the Boys and Girls Club, 13 years later on Country Club and Grant (next door to Doolen). And I specifically work with a child who currently attends Lineweaver. I have walked and ran past your daughter's memorial sight and on the HAWK crossing that was created as a direct result of this tragedy all the time. I just visited it this past Sunday and send loving thoughts to your, your family and your daughter (even though I never knew her personally).

Though I never really knew Morgan, I heard nothing but great things about her. She had such a large impact on the seventh grade class, none of them will ever be the same. None of us will. Morgan will live on in everyone's heart though, and she'll never be forgotten.

On Tuesday it will be a year since Morgan passed away. We will never forget all the smiles she had and put on people's faces. We will never forget how she loved gymnastics so much or how she hated girl stuff. She could make you laugh any day and we just miss her so much. Rest In Peace Morgan Wise.

I didn't know Morgan for that long. I had only know her from the gym and from some sleepovers. But, even when we did hang out, we shared many fun memories. She was always making people laugh and could always lift a bad spirit. I will never forget her and will always love her. I know she is watching over us right now and receiving our love too. I miss you Morgan and I love you and I will never forget you. In all my life I have never meet anybody so full of good, loving, caring,and giving spirit. Those who knew Morgan are just lucky people and those who give her their love are wonderful people.

Last year I started school with Morgan. Even though I only knew her for a couple of months I felt like it was all eternity when I heard that she was gone. I know it wasnt an easy decision to make but I know that in a different light she may have saved some lives with her organs. In a way she is now in a better place with the Lord and she is always with you mabey not in solid but in spirit. And I would also like to say thanks for having the Festival of Life. It was really fun.

I went to school with Morgan...on the first day of school, we all thought of her. Everywhere she went reminds us of her. I wish she was still around...she kept us from seperating into our seprature groups. Now, at the begining weeks of 2nd quarter, we can see it even more. Every day I think bout her and all the happy memories and thats what keeps me going. Love you and miss you Mor-Mor

My little cousin, I love and miss you. My last memory of you will always be a happy one though. Playing twister when I was home on leave from Afghanistan. But it won't be the only memory I have that I will think about. I always remember when you were born and how I could make you laugh out loud when throwing mice for the cats to jump up and catch. And I still have all the pictures you drew and sent me when I was in Kuwait years ago. I'll always love you my little cousin and I'll shall see you again years from now.

Morgan is a kind of person who will break the silence by laughing about something that happened yesterday. She was a big part of our gym and outside of it. She was the glue to our team. It was the day of our first gym meet of level 6 when she got hit. It was terrible waking up sunday to hear about the horrible thing that happened.She will be missed greatly but she will still be in my and many other peoples hearts forever.

Dear Karla, Russ and Erik,
Please accept our condolences for your loss of Morgan. I remember you briging Morgan and Erik in at the Ina Road facility around 1996. With the calamity of death, mercifully the weight of the hap gets lighter with time. The Holy Quran teaches us "Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception." May Morgan's abode be in the Paradise.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your beautiful Morgan will be greatly missed. My memories of her vivaciousness and grace will live forever. I'm so fortunate to have gotten to know her so well by first living with you, then by you being such good friends to me while in Tucson, then later, you keeping me posted as to how your family was getting on. Morgan has been a bright and shining star in life and will remain so in people’s memories. I'm sorry that I am unable to be there during this difficult time, but please know that my thoughts are and prayers are with you. I love you all!

Morgan and my son Jorgie were in a couple of classes together at Lineweaver and he described her as a cool girl. My daugther Brianna who is a year older said that Morgan was her "Best little Buddy".

My family has lived in Rita Ranch for the last 10 years. Our six-year old daughter has been deeply touched by the lose of your daughter. She has a very special gift she wants to bring to you for Morgan. I just found out today that Mr. Wise had worked with my Uncle at GLHN. It makes this tragedy that much more personal for us.
We send our prayers to you at this difficult time.

To Morgan's family,
My son James and Morgan were in the same classes at Lineweaver for several years. She remains one of the only girls to have ever achieved universal "cool" status among the boys, all of whom considered her a friend. It was a pleasure to know your daughter, whose smile truly lit up the room. Your loss is heartbreaking, and you're in our thoughts.

I was in Morgan's class this year, and I know that she is dearly missed. Out of all people, Morgan did not deserve to have this happen to her. I can't imagine what you are going through right now.

Morgan is dearly missed and loved amongst her Doolen classmates. She was in my class last year, but I just started to get to know her this year. Morgan was a wonderful person who lived her short life well, and hers is a tragic case of someone in the wrong place at the wrong time.

To the wise family,
I work at pizza hut, and I was terribly shaken when I saw your daughter's picture on the front counter. I could not believe her young life was taken from her. It is unfair and made all of us at pizza hut go into tears as customers asked about her. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you ALL in my thoughts. It will be a hard road I know but she is watching over everyone with a angels smile.
Sincerely, Angela Winton

I did not know Morgan, but my husband and I came upon the accident shortly after it happened. We knew there was children involved because of the scooters in the road. My heart sank. I do want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Several calls have gone to the principal of Desert Sky since this accident, and many of us are lobbying for a 4 way stop at the very least at that intersection. When we get that 4 way stop, I also will be recommending that we name the 4 way stop "The Morgan Four Way stop" in memory of your daughter.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy at the loss of your beautiful child, Morgan. Words are inadequate and nothing can verbalize the pain.

Lisa and Morgan were together at Gym World East and shared a common birthdate. Morgan's gymnastics skills far surpassed Lisa's but Lisa still felt connected to Morgan. Perhaps it was the common birthdate. Lisa is so sad that Morgan is gone.

when I heard about this horrible accident my heart sank.my cousin knew morgan through gymnastics and also lives in the area where this horrible accident took place. knowing it could have just as easily been her, I feel the pain and heartache that this family must be going through.just recently a great gymnastics coach was also lost and I know that he is up in heaven teaching morgan to become the next olympist on the streets of gold. may your beautiful daughter rest in peace and may your family find peace knowing she is in pain no longer and you will again be with her someday.
