My Beloved Michelle “Penny” fourteen years ago on this day you went to be with the Lord and the Ancestors. This time since you left this side of the river has been strange, ever changing and different. One constant has been our Lord and Savior – our Creator has been unchanging bestowing Grace, Mercy and Love with an unwarranted gift of favor and providence. Miss you after all these years. I know absent from the body means presences with the Lord. Sharing a photo of baby Marlee Jacquelynn Michelle Morgan - Marshalls new daughter. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Creator of All.

Hello My Dearest Michelle,
It has been nine years since you have transitioned to be with the Lord. I am during good. God has been taking care of me as the Creator of All took care of us, as I shared with you in our last conversation before you passed. This place is temporary, and my goal is to get to the tabernacle in Heaven. It was a hard process after you died, the grieving and depression were rough. I kept my eye on the face of Christ and kept the faith doing the best I could to serve God and help others. I reflect on the conversation we had one night before going to sleep, and you asked me would I remarry if you died. I responded I did not know and did not want to think about this proposition. This was years before you became ill. We were doing great in all areas of our life, and I did not want to consider that thought. You were a special, good hearted, and anointed person, and God must have revealed a prophecy to you. I loved you and I will always cherish our times, travels, and adventures. Our children are going through some challenging timesespecially Marshall. He visits your grave site almost every Sunday and place flowers on it. A pastor shared that we should not bother those who have transitioned, and we should let them rest in peace. Please look down on our children and the grandchildren if it is not too much to ask, God willing. I have remarried, and we are doing well. You will always have a special place in my heart and soul. May you continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord until we meet again. Love you. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

Wow! How time seems to move along so swiftly. Always in my heart. The comfort knowing that you are home with Our Father. God is still the Alpha and Omega. I am not confused about that whatsoever. Praise be to God. My dear and loving Sista Penny. Another angel was needed and He choose you. Miss you and love you with the love of the Lord.

You have rested in the bosom of the Lord for six (6) years yesterday. God continues to bless and keep me. I continue the journey to serve the Creator and do what he wants me to.

My life has continued to progress as I go on my journey to get closer to God, find my purpose and give back to society. I am learning more about your heart and how you so lovingly gave to everyone. God rest your spirit. Happy Mother's Day. Peace, Love and Blessings--Mark.

Though you are with the Lord--you are always in my heart, even almost five years later. This world continues to change at lightning speed with the advances of technology. Some things are good-others seem to be ungodly where people can't interact on a personal level. I know you would be enjoying all the new electronic toys and gadgets. You are dealing with celestial toys and gadgets. May the peace of the Lord's be with your spirit. Peace and Love

Today is March 6, 2011. I dreamed of Penny last night and thought if anyone would be reachable via FaceBook, I know Penny would be there; a beautiful social butterfly. Much to my sadness, I found her obit. If Penny ever spoke of her younger years, I hope she fondly spoke of her Paul Jr. High School friend(s), as I held her to be a dear, dear friend. I see from her program, pictures of Penny and my old Paul JHS Pals, too. My life has been filled with moving around and I lost touch with Penny in 80's. To her family, please know that Penny remained in my heart all my life and will remain there through eternity. I am heartbroken knowing that she has passed but one thing if for sure, I now know exactly where I can find her. My sincerest regards to Bernard who also shared a very special place in my life, with Penny, at Paul JHS. I have pictures of Penny; if the family would like copies, please let me know.

Michelle I thought of you a couple of days ago and a smile came to my face. I recalled how beautiful you were and that you had to prettiest smile. I loved the time that I spent with you at Myrtel Beach and when I stay with you for a month in Va. Those that knew you will also love you.

Happy Easter, still my beloved Michelle. You have been with the Lord almost two years. Easter was a time of much joy because our Lord sacrificed his only begotten Son for our sins and also much sadness because this was the day you lost your Mother 32 years ago. Thank God for all that he is doing for me as I live and have new beginnings. Also let all of the Ancestors know that I love them because it is their shoulders that we all stand on during these challenging times on the tent called Earth. We live to get to the Temple through our Faith and God's Grace. Happy Easter and May God continue to Bless and Keep Us and the Ancestors. Peace, Love and Blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving, my Beloved Michelle. It has been 18 months and counting. It seems like an eternity and I love and miss you and the special times we had with family and friends on this special blessed holiday. A lot has happened and history has been made with the election of Barack Obama. His wife shares your name and they have a beautiful family along with his Vice President-Elect Joe Biden. I pray for him, his team, the soldiers and all of those who are in harms way to keep this country safe. I have to continue to trust God and be grateful and appreciative even though some days I don't feel that way. Sleep well my nubian Queen and continue to watch over us all with the Ancestors who have crossed over to glory. To God be the glory and I give Him all praise! Happy Thanksgiving until I write again. Peace, Love and Blessings.

As I reminisce and think about Michelle, I remember her zeal, zest and enthusiasm for life and not allowing any moss to grow under her feet. As you think fondly of your Nubian Queen also be reminded of her strength of character and love of life. Mark, you are in my heart and prays that God Grant you Peace, Prosperity and Long Life and encompasses you with His favor as a shield and that you may know HIM, "In HIS presence is fullness of JOY and at HIS right hand pleasures evermore.
Love you,

Markey-Mark,
It is quite a coincidence that you sent me this Guest Book to sign. I had this sad, but happy feeling in my heart a few days ago ... as I remembered it has been one year.
I miss Michelle and her bubbly-self; as Maurice so fondly nicknamed her.
She was a delight to behold. I enjoyed being in her company. She was full of life, joy and happiness - especially when she was with you. I prayed for a relationship that would replicate yours with Michelle. And, I was blessed with Maurice. I admired both of you and looked forward to seeing your plan of blissful, peaceful retirement together; as you both so fondly talked about so often.
You are always in my prayers; and I pray that you find peace. HOLD on to the wonderful "memories" of Michelle, and how you loved each other; she is your comfort-zone; and is watching over you. Your fond memories will sustain you forever.
GOD BLESS YOU. We miss seeing you.
Cynthia & Maurice Madison

Uncle Mark,
I know how deeply you miss Aunt Michelle and how you struggle to make sense of this new life without her. I know too well this feeling, the emptiness, the saddness that comes along with missing the physical presence of someone you love. I wish I could say the feeling goes away and that it is simply a matter of "getting over it" - - as they say. But I cannot. What I can tell you is that it is something you simply learn to live with, over time, with God's help. It's o.k. Uncle Mark because you are not alone. You are not alone in this. Please know that Aunt Michelle is watching over you each and every day and that her love for you and her passion for life will forever live in YOUR mind, heart, soul, and spirit. Aunt Michelle was a handful and a rare jewel indeed :)...that's one of the reasons she was such a powerful influence in your life. She was da bomb! I marvel at the love you clearly have for her. It is clear that the love the two of you shared was truly SPECIAL indeed. So every time you feel sad or lonely, think upon those good times, think about "Billy Bob", and find peace in knowing that you were blessed with an eternal love, true friendship, and invincible partnership that many live a lifetime without ever experiencing. We all miss Aunt Michelle and we will continue to pray for your continued strength and happiness. I love you both! May God bless you:)
Your Niece,
Twiggy

Baby Bro, your sweet angel Michelle leaves with all of us a wonderful legend of love, compassion and giving. What beautiful memories you will have to keep in your heart always. Embrace this beautiful love that the two of you shared and pass it on to those who are so desparately in need. Always remember that God is the source of this wonderful love that you two shared and she so freely gave. I look foward to seeing how our precious Lord will continue to bless you in this new chapter of your life.
I love you and miss you Michelle -- beautiful lady!
Hang in there baby bro and stay prayerful and thankful.
Lots of Love,
Big Sis

Peace and blessings to you all. Giving Honor to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Creator of All things, the Author of the beginning and the end. Monday, May 12 in the year of our Lord 2008 will be the one (1) year anniversary of when my beloved wife and African Queen, MICHELLE LEE MORGAN “PENNY” went home to be with the Lord and become one of our Ancestors. She is in Heaven and safe in the bosom of the Lord and has no worries now. I thank God for her being my wife and I celebrate her life. We were blessed to accomplish a lot and the most important part was to serve the Lord and give back to the world. I love and miss Michelle but I celebrate her life. She, with God’s help, made me into a complete man. This cold, gristled, hardened man who did not trust anyone and was very self-centered and selfish began the metamorphosis that continues today by the Grace of God. Michelle helped change me with her inner and outer beauty, her big heart and love for life and others—old and young. She was flawless and fearless in her pursuit of life and new experiences. She had a vision that was in tune with God and loved everyone that she met. I could count on Michelle having my back as I had her back. The things that she said, her mannerisms, faces that she made and her “can do” approach to life was a one of a kind. She helped teach me to be a husband as I helped teach her to be a wife. Michelle was my Phoenix that rose from the ashes to become the most brilliant and beautiful Red Rose that sparkled like a diamond in the universe and Heavens. The children, especially Marshall, the Grandchildren, Nieces, Nephews, Colleagues and Friends love you and miss you. May God rest your soul and look down on us until we meet again. Sleep well my Queen. “The Lord is my light and salvation; who shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” – Psalm 27:1 (Holy Bible-King James Version)
Michelle “Penny”, I Love you and God Bless your spirit. Your husband, Mark

Michelle, it has been almost a year and I still love you and miss you. "Happy Easter" to you. I know this was sometimes a difficult time of year for us because you lost your beloved Mother on Easter to a drunk driver over thirty years ago. You do not have to worry about this anymore because you both are with the Lord with all of the other strong principled men and women. Say hello to Dwight "D-Boy" Clark. Let him know that I loved him also and thank him for the part he played in both of our lives. May God Rest All of your Spirits. Ask the Lord to continue to look down on us who continue to run this race and live in what can be difficult and perilous times. Especially look down and bless Cousin Connie and her daughter Stephanie. I am healing and moving on with my life without you the best I can. May God rest all of your souls.
Love Ya!---->Mark, Your Husband

I always thought of her as the sister that I never had and she and I will always be... Although I am sad to see her leave us, I am happy to know that she is no longer in pain nor will wshe be suffering. She was a good friend always protecting the ones that she loved (I can include myself in this number) and showing everyday her kindness for friends and family. Michelle will be in my heart forever - I love and will miss you Michelle.......

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.

Mark,
It has been a joy to know you and Michelle as a couple. What a blessing that Michelle was able to make it to one more service at First Mount Zion. What a blessing that you made it happen.
Your walk as a couple has truly been inspirational. I know that Michelle is at peace now and that she knew at all times that she was loved by GOD and her husband.
May God continue to keep you and bless you. Please know that your Church family and especially zone G1 continues to be there for you.

Mark,
I'm very sorry that I could not be there personally because I was away on buisness during your saddest moment but I'm grateful for the moment we shared last year while moving from the vacation home in Myrtle Beach. I will always remember that moment when you were overcome with the emptions of putting closure to that chapter in your relationship with Michelle. Oviously, it was a very joyous chapter! Most of all I appreciate the dignity and courage you demonstrated throughout Michelle's delima as you prepared for this moment of final closure. My thoughts and prayers are with you throughout this difficult period. I'll stay in touch! May the Grace of our Higher Power continue to Bless you always!

May God wrap his fence of comfort around the family during your time of sorrow. It took me a while to sign this guest book because I really didn't know what to say, I am so sad about her passing. Penny and I grew up together, hung out together everyday, stuck with each other through the good and bad times all through teen stuff, family losses and our teen years and somehow we lost touch over the years. I was devastated when I saw her at Bernard's funeral. I will remember her and our back in the day times. I'm sorry I wasn't there to assist during her illness. Find comfort in knowing she is not suffering anymore and that now Penny gets to walk around Heaven all day. My prayers are with the Morgan and Nelson families. An old childhood friend Cheryl Hinton

Mark I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet your wife and friend Michelle. She was such a spicy and lovely lady to get to know. I was always more than happy to assist you two during your most time of need but now my smooches is gone on home to rest. But please remember your family will always be in me and Boo Boo's prayers and hearts always. Now it's time for you to take care of yourself. Contact anyone of us when you need to. Until we see each other again, May God continue to Bless and Strengthen You.

Michelle(Penny), I knew Penny when we was growing up in NW Washington, D.C. I just happened to look in the paper today and saw her beautiful face. She was always a beautiful, cheerful person. We used to have so much fun with her. I know that she will be really missed by her family and friends.
To the Family, May God Bless you during this time of your bereavement.
