“Christ is mine forevermore.” The words that our beautiful Morgan gets to sing for all of eternity. Words are inadequate to describe the wife, mother and friend that Morgan was. It still makes no sense, yet, I will trust my Savior Jesus. If you feel so inclined, please join our community in supporting Gage and baby Marie by donating. We love you, Morgan, and miss you like crazy. Your husband and babygirl will be taken care of down here, but I already am longing for the day when we are all caught up together in the clouds, praising our Savior together once again.
