I found you today because of Jeff and his C & C. My heart breaks for and your family. I have no words but I can pray. Your sweet Morgan is a beautiful girl. My mom’s family is from Huntsville.
Hi Joan, and everyone!
I think this is wonderful, Joan …and it seems, at night, is when support and companionship are so needed ❤️
Good for the soul … we are not alone on this lifelong grief journey.
Joan and I met here, in Cincinnati, when our kids were “littles”. My five kids loved “hanging” with Morgan. Many funny stories and memories❤️
Even though we lost touch, as people do, when Joan & family moved to Alabama while I still here in Cinti, God and our connections bring us back together in a new season of life. I love it!!! Even if the reason is something “we can not. Imagine”.
I like to think , honoring beautiful Morgan, is the after effects of this site being born by Joan.
In my family, regarding grief, it’s been 20 years since my sweet mom passed on from losing her battle with breast cancer . She fought the battle for years
Complete opposite was 2 years ago, my 51 year old vibrant sister, a nurse and healthy, young at heart, mom to seven kids, wife and just a petite , beautiful woman inside and out. Even though she lived in Iowa (where I am from) we were extremely close. On Sept 29, I was talking to her. All was well. She ready to walk her dog while I went on to coach gymnastics After practice, my dad (he lives in chicago) called me, in his calm, “doctor”(he a pediatrician ) voice
He told me Amy was alone, walking her dog, about half mile from her house, and was found dead.
No autopsy per my brother in law request, etc etc
Death certificate says sudden cardiac arrest.
Joan title of this , “I can only imagine” is spot on.
Joan and everyone, you are not alone! I pray for us all on this site, and Joan, not a day goes by I pray for you and your family. Morgan will always, never, be forgotten ❤️
