A family from New Jersey is heartbroken after losing their 6-year-old daughter, Lucy Morgan, in a tragic accident while on vacation.
The accident happened when Lucy was watching her family play badminton. During the game, a racquet broke during a swing, and a piece of metal flew off and hit Lucy in the head, causing a serious brain injury.
Lucy’s father, Pastor Jesse Morgan, shared the sad details on his blog, New Creation Living. He described how June 1 started like any other day on their family vacation in Limerick, Maine. But then everything changed, and he now believes his little girl is with Jesus.
The family quickly understood how serious Lucy’s injury was. Jesse explained on his blog that after the metal hit Lucy, she became unresponsive but was still breathing. His wife, Bethany Morgan, went with Lucy in the ambulance to a nearby hospital. Later, Lucy was airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland because they knew her life was in serious danger.
“When Lucy arrived at the hospital, she went straight to the operating room. Doctors removed part of her skull to relieve pressure from her injury. She went into cardiac arrest but they brought her back and finished the surgery,” Jesse wrote on his blog. “In the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), we were told there was a very slim chance she would recover.”
Jesse Morgan shared that just a month before the accident, Lucy had expressed a desire to be with God. She told her parents she wanted to be saved and live with God. After a conversation with her mother, Lucy went to her room to pray.
“She prayed to God to forgive her and told Him that she believed in Jesus’ death and resurrection. What a gift,” he wrote.
Sadly, despite the medical efforts, Lucy did not recover from her injury. Jesse explained that the piece of metal had caused severe damage to her brain. Doctors informed the family that she likely would not survive.
“No blog post today. Lucy Lynn Morgan passed away this morning around 4 a.m. She now sees Jesus face to face. Thank you for all your love poured out to us,” Jesse posted on June 5, 2024, along with a picture from earlier goodbyes.
The day before her death, he wrote, “The lack of brain function over the past 48 hours shows that we are utterly devastated. If there is any good news, it’s that she hasn’t felt any pain during this time.”
“We will keep waiting on the Lord, getting second opinions, and looking for every possible option while crying out to God for a miracle,” he added. “However, as of now, our beloved daughter has been showing all the signs of brain death. There is a very good chance she will pass away and meet Jesus within 24 hours.”
In the wake of this tragedy, the family has received much love and support. Many people shared kind words about Lucy and her family on social media. Dan Cruver, a former professor of Jesse Morgan, spoke highly of him in a Facebook post.
“Jesse Morgan was a student of mine when I taught Bible and theology at Clarks Summit University 18 years ago. I remember many students, but some stand out because they frequently engaged with me after class and asked thoughtful questions. Jesse was one of those students,” he wrote.
To support the family, loved ones created a GoFundMe account, which has exceeded its original goal of $100,000 and is nearing a new goal of $130,000, with over $125,000 in donations so far.
Organizer Jill Anthony wrote, “This page is meant to provide the family with generous financial support – to help pay for meals while they are away from home, lodging for family, medical costs… whatever they need.”
Anthony also provided an update: “On June 5, Lucy went to be with the Lord. Please keep praying for the Morgans as they navigate the coming days, weeks, months, and years without their sweet Lucy.”
Kate Middleton’s Potential Return to Royal Duties: A Beacon of Hope
Around the world, many were shocked to learn that Kate Middleton had been diagnosed with cancer. Although her recent operation had been made public, the news of her diagnosis was shocking. Since then, Kate has concentrated on her medical care, but her return to royal duties appears to be imminent.
Maintaining Her Royal Work Connection
Kate managed to maintain her royal duties even while she was recovering from surgery at the London Clinic. According to reports, she worked from her hospital bed to complete part of her duties. It demonstrates her devotion and dedication.
An Epistle of Solace
Kate took time out of her own health struggles to write a touching condolence letter to Kate Garraway, whose husband had passed away earlier this year. Kate’s supportive and kind act revealed a great deal about her understanding and generosity.
Regards from a Royal Fan.
Kate sent a special thank you to one lucky royal fan. Following the Princess of Wales’ operation, the fan sent love and well wishes, and Kensington Palace responded with a lovely note. It was a heartfelt moment that showed how grateful Kate was to her fans.
The Support of Queen Camilla
Throughout this trying time, Queen Camilla has been a rock for Kate and King Charles. She mentioned Kate on a recent visit and expressed the princess’s appreciation for all of the well wishes and encouragement she has received. Kate and Charles are receiving support and strength from the royal family.
The Anchors of Family
Although the royal family has offered assistance, Kate’s parents and siblings have been her real pillars of support throughout her difficult journey. Every step of the journey, they have shown her love and support. Kate is so grateful for the love and support of the Middleton family during this difficult time.
A Prospective Comeback to Public Life
It’s possible that Kate will return to the public eye earlier than anticipated. Even though she had prophylactic chemotherapy, a royal specialist says she might go to some occasions if she feels well enough. Even if a full-scale return to royal duties might still be some way off, everyone would find optimism if Kate appeared this summer.
Let’s hope for encouraging news in the upcoming months as we extend our warmest regards to King Charles and Kate Middleton. We are all inspired by the princess’s fortitude and tenacity, and we can’t wait for her to resume her cherished position as a working royal.
