I would like to share the poem I wrote in 2010 for Morgan's funeral with you dear friends:

A Mother's Thoughts / Not Missing



Morgan

Not missing but found

dead on the ground

No loved ones near

You perished in violence and fear

How can it be

That your destiny

was to be torn from Papa and me

Such an unbelievable fate

our child of light extinguished by hate

Never mother or wife

A tragically abbreviated life

Part of me

would reject Deity

that allowed such atrocity

But know that we

Must surrender to the incomprehensibility

Of mystery

Somehow this is how it had to be

The beautiful, shiny, loving Morgan Dana Harrington was a true original. She brought much joy and fun to family and friends for 20 years. Her light and potential were extinguished when she was abducted from a Metallica concert 10/17/09 in Charlottesville Virginia.

Morgan’s skeletonized body was found at Anchorage Farm, Albemarle County on 1/26/10. The person(s) responsible remain at large, presumably still in the Charlottesville area. We ask that any information that might help in the investigation of this case be directed to: Virginia State Police tip line (434) 352-3467.

Our family has developed several educational projects that honor Morgan and provide service to our community, our world:



The Morgan Harrington Educational Wing , OMNI Village, Ndola , Zambia has been completed and was officially dedicated in a joyous ceremony 12/1/2012. Fundraising efforts moving forward are centered on equipping a library/computer space for the school.
