Holly & Mike,
I am so sorry to hear the news about Morgan. Holly, you were the first person I had the privilege of meeting from the Trisomy family when you came to Cheryl's home after we lost Hope. You have been such an inspiration to so many people. And so was Morgan. He was dearly loved by so many.
Keeping you in my prayers!

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I haven't see Morgan for many years. I used to work with him when I subbed for the SEP school district. Prayers for your family.
