I did not know your son personally but as a mom my heart is broken for your family. Our family is Praying for your family and the days that are to come. I pray the Lord draws near to each of you during this time and speaks the words of strength, comfort and peace to help cushion the days as you walk through this new chapter of your lives and have the assurance that you are not alone.
R.I.P young man..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Patty and Jimmy, I am deeply sorry for your loss. This news truly saddens my heart. I adored Morgan. He gave me many laughs. Some headaches but more laughs. I’ve always enjoyed that the first thing I would see when meeting up with him was that beautiful handsome smile. Not only did he have a beautiful smile but such an awesome personality. No matter where I ran into him, it was always a joy to catch up and just chat with him and of course he would always have me laughing about something silly. He is definitely a beautiful soul gone to soon. My heart goes out to you both, Brooks and his two sons. Prayers and hugs for all of you. Love you Patty.
I am so sorry for your loss Patty 😔 I will certainly be praying for you & your family 🙏
So sorry for your loss. Much love to the entire family!! Skeet Simmons
