Close to 200 friends and family gathered to celebrate Morgan’s life on her birthday, October 28th. It was a perfect fall day that Mo would have loved and having a slice of pizza and a beer with the people she loved most would have made her so happy. While the memorial was incredibly difficult, we felt at peace knowing Eliza was able to look around and see a room full of people who loved Morgan for the person she was. Throughout Morgan’s cancer battle she continued to say people are so good. While she was dealing with unimaginable pain, she couldn’t help but notice how kind people are. We have also felt and experienced this as we navigate the unthinkable. THANK YOU to all who donated, sent us meals, flowers, shared memories of Mo, and supported and surrounded us with love. We will be forever grateful and know Mo is too.

We did also want to add a special thank you to the Shoalwater Bay Tribe. Morgan was a proud tribal member, and we are grateful for the beautiful blanket, the necklace in Morgan’s favorite color yellow, the financial support for the memorial, and your presence and words to celebrate Morgan’s life. We are so thankful Eliza will know and celebrate this part of her family and her history.

Please bear with us as we try to navigate this new normal which seems to get harder by the day. We may be slow to respond to emails and texts but please know that we do appreciate everyone that has reached out and connected with us in the last few months. If you ever think of a memory of Morgan and want to share, know we talk about her every day and we want to hear it.

We have a video of Morgan to share with everyone as we memorialize this Caring Bridge site -  Celebrating the life of Morgan Christine Zora

Some of Mo's fave songs included in the video:

• Caribou -  Can't Do Without You
• Japandroids -  The House That Heaven Built
• LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Please feel free to continue to leave thoughts and memories on the Caring Bridge site or send to us directly at mac.zora@gmail.com.

Morgie - we love you and feel your presence every day. We miss your contagious laughter, witty comebacks and just the everyday joy you brought to our lives. You made us all better and we will be forever thankful for that.

With Love, 

MacKenzie, twin to Morgan
