Six-year-old Lucy Morgan lost her life in a tragic accident while on vacation in Limerick, Maine. The incident occurred when a racket broke during a swing, causing a piece of metal from the handle to snap off and pierce her skull. This unforeseen accident resulted in severe injuries that would ultimately prove fatal.
Heartfelt Reflection from Pastor Jesse Morgan
Lucy’s father, Pastor Jesse Morgan, shared the devastating details of the incident on his blog. He described how Lucy was unresponsive yet still breathing when struck by the metal piece. Immediate efforts were made to rush her to the nearest hospital, and she was subsequently airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland. Despite undergoing emergency surgery to alleviate pressure on her brain, the prognosis remained grim.
Lucy’s Faith and Final Days
In his poignant reflections, Pastor Morgan highlighted Lucy’s strong faith. Just a month prior to the accident, Lucy had engaged in a profound conversation with her mother about salvation. She prayed in her room, seeking forgiveness and expressing her belief in Jesus’ death and resurrection. This spiritual depth added a layer of comfort to her family’s heartache during such a challenging time.
Community Support and Fundraising Efforts
Following Lucy’s passing, which occurred early in the morning, Pastor Morgan shared a heartfelt message with the community. He wrote, “Lucy Lynn Morgan passed away this morning around 4am. She now sees Jesus face to face. Thank you for all your love poured out to us.” In response to their loss, a GoFundMe account was established by loved ones to support the Morgan family. The fundraiser has surpassed its initial target of $100,000, currently nearing $150,000, with over $140,000 raised to assist with medical expenses, meals, lodging, and other needs.
Continued Prayers for the Morgan Family
Organizer Jill Anthony provided an update on the GoFundMe page, urging continued prayers for the Morgan family as they navigate the difficult journey ahead without their beloved Lucy. She wrote, “June 5, Lucy went to be with the Lord. Please keep praying for the Morgans as they walk through these next days, weeks, months, and years without their sweet Lucy here with them.”
Our deepest condolences extend to the Morgan family during this unimaginable time. May Lucy rest in peace.
