More Candles – shining brightly in the night sky

I am so sorry that I have had a lag in posting more of the candle pictures that have been sent to me.  Here is the start of the continuation of the photos of the candles that have been lit for Morgan.  They have burned brightly in her memory as well as in the hope and prayers from everyone around the globe with the intent that justice is attained.  And every single one of them has touched our family’s hearts.  Thank you!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ingram,

I hope that you all find comfort in the support the blog has brought to you. I think of Morgan often. I’m a mother to two girls, 8 and 2 1/2, and two boys, 17 and 18. I was also stalked and beat by my ex-husband. I know that you would give anything to have your daughter back, but please know that the story you tell of her last year has brought awareness to so many about stalking and comfort to many that have endured it. Morgan was a lucky girl to have parents like you. It sounds like you gave her a wonderful life. I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to endure due to evils in this world.

Here are my candle light pictures in honor of Morgan. I lit two; one for Morgan and one for women across the world that have endured stalking and fear at the hands of another human being.

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!

Here’s a pic of the candle I am burning for Morgan & victims of stalking today. After seeing the Dr Phil show about Morgan I began reading your blog as I was left wanting more information. I felt Dr Phil made you to seem a bit of a biased mother. However when Brooke appeared and her first response to accusations was ” Where’s the proof?”. This raised a big red flag for me and after reading you blog daily I have found it obvious that Morgan was not responsible for her own death and did not die of natural causes. I am sorry that you & your family & everyone that loves Morgan have had to deal with such inaction and irresponsibility on the part of your local law enforcement. I hope the fresh eyes you have investigating Morgan’s stalking and death provide you some answers and justice. I just cannot believe that such a productive, beautiful, brilliant full of love and life young woman can be stalked and murdered and the sick scum responsible can still roam the streets looking for a new victim.

Dear Toni and Steve,

I cannot express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your sweet daughter, Morgan. There are just no words. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you pass such a very tragic and painful milestone today. May God embrace you with love and mercy.

A candle in honor of the memory of morgan my prayers are with you and your family and morgan. Justice and answers will come to you. Thank you for your inspiration. Danielle
And the last candle picture below that I am posting today is from a person that I will forever call a good friend, even though I have never met her in my life.  She was a retired sheriff at the time that she contacted me, as well as a mother of 2 young children.  She had also been a member of Webseluths, until she saw what they had started to say about Morgan’s case on one of their threads…she contacted me and ASKED great questions about the facts of the case – instead of just pretending she knew what the truth was.  I trusted her and started to send her information and documents.  She did some research and helped me find even more information during our investigation.  She was an amazing woman…and I say she was amazing because in the last year she lost her life to cancer and is no longer with us.  She was unable to see Morgan get justice.  I know she will be so happy looking down from Heaven when justice is finally found.  I will miss her greatly, as will her family.  The world has lost another angel.

More candle pictures will be posting…thanks for your patience.

 

 

Memory of New Year’s Eve 2011 – lanterns up to Heaven

The first New Years Eve without Morgan was on December 31, 2011.  Our wonderful family came over with balloon lanterns/Chinese lanterns/sky lanterns, they have many different names, but they are all basically the same.  These lanterns soar into the dark sky when lit.

It was an evening like no other.  In the silence of the night we all took colored markers and wrote our own special messages on each lantern, lit the fuel source inside, and watched them float upwards into the night sky, on their way up to Heaven.

We all needed to talk to Morgan.  We all needed to send her our love.  This was such a special and meaningful way to release some of our pent up emotions.  It felt like a lifting of our spirits to watch our messages fly into the night sky…never seeing where they went.  Only to believe they made it to Morgan, and she could read what we wrote.  Last night marked 4 years ago since that night…we are still missing Morgan, but we have learned to speak to her with our thoughts.  We know she hears us and her love is endless.

2016 is now the year that we believe in magic.  The magic that comes when the basic truth and facts in Morgan’s case finally bring about justice for Morgan.  The grief we experience daily from losing Morgan due to a heartless killer(s) will never go away, but the pain that we have lived with for the last 4 years will be lessened when justice is finally realized.

My wish for 2016 is justice for Morgan!  Wishing you a blessed and healthy New Year!

Happy New Year…2016 Justice For Morgan!

As promised here are some more pictures of candles that have been lit for Morgan.  There are thousands of people from all over the world that want to see justice for Morgan.  I truly believe this new year will bring about that justice.  It has been a long 4 years waiting, but because of the love & support of so many people that will never give up justice is inevitable.

As Rob Wells has said many times…

Murderers Living Amongst Us!

Colorado has a backlog of 1,750 unsolved murders dating back to 1970. The killers of these victims have never been prosecuted for these murders. They walk among us. They live in our neighborhoods. These murderers, who have escaped justice, pose a serious threat to the safety of every Colorado citizen.

Our daughter Morgan was murdered during an active investigation into her felony stalking in Carbondale, CO – right in her own home.  Morgan deserves justice and we are never going to give up.  Thank you all for your unending support over these past 4 years!

I was moving around a lot today, but no matter where I was, I kept at least one candle lit for Morgan.  -Nicole

When we were 25 (almost 12 years ago), my best friend died of cancer. I bought this candle for her then and I only light it on special occasions. I burned it for several hours tonight for Morgan.

Toni and Steve – I live in New Orleans and I have been reading your blog everyday. I work at a cheese shop here and I want you both to know that you have a large following of myself and my fellow employees. We worked with one of Morgan’s friends, Katie. We are sad for your loss, but we hope you find strength in knowing that you are doing good in spreading your message.

Much love and many thoughts. A candle for Morgan.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Morgan’s story is heartbreaking and I hope that one day very soon she will receive the justice she deserves.

 

Attention friends in Colorado and everywhere…

fohvamp-logo-bwFamilies of Homicide Victims and Missing Persons (FOHVAMP) is a truly amazing organization – one that has continually helped us in our quest for justice for our daughter Morgan. They are a nonprofit out of Colorado.  I know every dollar they receive is put to good use helping many, many families trying to find justice for their loved ones, just as we have been trying these past 4 years.  Steve & I, as well as others we know have just made donations to them.  Please consider going online to their website’s donation page http://www.unresolvedhomicides.org/you-can-help/ and click to make a tax deductible donation before the end of the month – it would be extremely helpful.  Even a $1 donation, when combined with others, adds up.

Colorado has a backlog of 1,750 unsolved murders dating back to 1970. The killers of these victims have never been prosecuted for these murders. They walk among us. They live in our neighborhoods. These murderers, who have escaped justice, pose a serious threat to the safety of every Colorado citizen.  Since 2001 FOHVAMP has advocated for the families of cold case homicide victims and persons missing under suspicious circumstances in Colorado. By bringing together families and friends united by a common tragedy, FOHVAMP mentors these individuals seeking justice for their loved ones.

Please know that every little positive thing we do in the pursuit of helping others, even something as small as donating a $1 to an organization like FOHVAMP, can help make the changes in this world that we all want to see.  We all love our families, and want to protect them – solving murders, and stopping a killer will always make our world a little safer…and really who wouldn’t want that?  Thanking you in advance for making a difference.

It’s Almost Christmas – Memories Remain Forever…

Morgan and Toni ChristmasMorgan & me on Christmas morning.

Memories of all our Christmas’ up until 2011 when we lost Morgan.  I remember every happy moment.  Her favorite breakfast on Christmas morning was either her dad’s Macadamia Nut French Toast, or my Eggs Benedict…we took turns making a special breakfast every Christmas morning, and if her brother or sister happened to be in town they were over in a heartbeat for breakfast, and to open presents, directly following breakfast.  It was a relaxing day, cooking all day, football on TV, playing games, and then an early Christmas dinner with friends and family at our house.

Morgan would always help in the kitchen.  Her brother and sisters were excellent chefs as well, always participating in the final menu.  Morgan was usually in charge of the desserts – her favorite thing to cook.  While I did the main course, her brother and sister worked on the side dishes.  After dinner there was lots of fun, usually ending in a late night.  The twinkle of the Christmas lights, Morgan playing her keyboard, and everyone singing Christmas carols – a magical time that can never be repeated as Morgan is no longer here, but when our family gets together on Christmas and we are all missing Morgan, we can still feel her.  My little granddaughter found a little ball with happy faces on it the other day and sent me a text to tell me it was from her Aunt Gigi (Morgan) – it was a present that just appeared and this little 6 year old was positive it came from Morgan.

Christmas is bittersweet for our family, but we continued to be blessed with the wonderful memories Morgan left us with as well as the loving presence we still feel from her.  Believe in the magic…and celebrate the wonders with the ones you love.
