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.”
Nick Nolte: Still Charming and Gorgeous at 82
On February 8, 2023, legendary actor Nick Nolte will turn 82. Nolte has won over audiences with his outstanding performances on stage and screen since his humble beginnings in Omaha, Nebraska. Despite possibly aging since his heartthrob days in the 1970s, he is still as endearing and attractive as ever.
The TV miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man (1976), in which Nolte made his breakthrough as “Tom/Tommy Jordache,” was the catalyst for the rest of his career. His extraordinary capacity to assume different personas contributed to his meteoric rise to fame in Hollywood, not just his good looks. Without a doubt, he is one of the most adaptable actors we are aware of.
Nolte has won numerous honors over the course of his illustrious career, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama in 1991. His outstanding performances in movies like The Prince of Tides, Affliction, and Warrior also earned him nominations for Academy Awards.
Nolte was hailed as the ideal American hero during the 1970s, and People magazine even named him the Sexiest Man Alive. Nolte was able to perfectly embody the essence of a young man weighing around 150 pounds in his role as Tommy Jordache.
In 1992, when he co-starred with Eddie Murphy in the ground-breaking action comedy 48 Hours, Nolte’s career experienced a meteoric rise. It was the first time black and white characters had to criticize one another on screen, and the movie not only showed off their amazing chemistry but also tackled significant societal issues. In his post-Civil Rights era analysis of the movie, Nolte recognized the importance of the movie.
However, Nolte found comfort and grit in his pursuit of sobriety. He has been able to maintain his sobriety for a long time after seeking professional assistance. Nolte freely acknowledges that she has turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism for a variety of problems, including failed relationships, failed projects, and the isolation and loneliness that frequently come with celebrity status.
Brawley Nolte and Sophia Lane Nolte, both actors, are Nolte’s proud children. Sophia had the chance to collaborate with her father on the movie Honey in the Head, in which she played his granddaughter. When talking about his kids, Nolte emphasizes his special relationship with Sophia and his son’s desire to become a doctor.
Nick Nolte, 82, has undoubtedly aged and his appearance has changed. Nevertheless, his endearing charisma and undeniable attractiveness remain. Nolte sees getting older as just another great adventure, accepting it with grace. He cherishes the chance to keep moving forward and pursuing new experiences and believes in fighting all the way to the end.
