Hi Diane, the concert was beautiful.What a bunch of talented kids. I was so happy to see how much Morgan was loved. It lasted two hours. All the children's names were read. I just could not do it for fear I would break down and not be able to continue. So three young ladies took turns reading the names. Morgan, Philip, Chad and 130 other childrens names. I know in my heart that Philip, Morgan and the other children were listening. And they were happy. There was an audio tape made of the concert. When I get my copy I will make another one and send it to you.. I also used my video camera to tape the concert. I set it up and just let it run. came out ok, but the tape ran out half way through. I will make a copy of that for you also.. The concert was so emotional for me, Sunday I was so drained I couldn't get online to tell you about it. Sorry. Finally I feel a little better. I will keep thinking of you and Philip. Take care,
I hope the concert in memory of your lovely daughter goes beautifully. I will hold Morgan in my heart that day. If you could have my son's name, Chad Holbrook, read next to the name of Phillip Dillon Lean, that would mean so much.
Thank you very much for your compassion Diane. It means alot to me to see how much you care. Sorry I did not respond sooner, but I found myself in a deep dark place that I could not get out of. As you know, it just keeps hitting so hard. One minute I think I'm doing alright, then the next I'm a basket case. Thank you again. I think of you and Philip, even when I'm hurting so bad. Morgan and Philip are proud of us and Love us forever. Take care, Larry
Diane, just wanted to say hi. thinking of you and Philip like always. I can't wait for the concert. I have been thinking about reading the names and at first thought I may have trouble,(breaking down) but then relized I will be strong. I have to, it is very important to everyone of these kids and their parents. I will feel their spirit and it will give me the strength to do it. Take care, Larry
I will send a copy of the poem and names to you when it is finalized. I will also send you a copy of the concert video when completed. If it is taped, not really sure if that is in the plans. I assume so and hope so. Diane, you could never bother me. You can send me a message when ever you want to. I will respond back as soon as I can. Larry
Diane, the concert is at our church, St. Johns Lutheran. In Nazareth, Pa. These kids did all the planning themselves. They will have a bake sale, with all the proceeds going to charity. I am also touched by the LOVE these kids and young adults show for Morgan. I will let you know how the concert went, and everything that the kids did. I truly can't wait. You are welcome and I am honored to read Philips name. take care, Larry
Hi Diane, Thinking of you and Philip. Hope somehow your doing ok. Can't seem to sleep tonight, thinking of Morgan. Makes me cry so much. I do talk to her and tell her to say hi to Philip. On may 15 Morgan's friends are doing a concert in her honor. I will be reading a poem titled: The Mention of My Childs Name. I will read Morgans name at the conclusion of the poem along with other children's names who have passed. Tammy Egberts son, Robby and others. If it is ok with you I would like to read Philips name too. Glad to have you as a friend, take care. Larry
Hi Diane, I understand. It's so hard. My memories of Morgan make me cry, but I'm so glad I have them. I want to keep those memories forever. You want to keep your memories of Philip forever also. Every day is a bad day, but the last two days have been very hard. I guess maybe the holiday. It was one of Morgan's favorites. Right now I'm so unbelievably sad, I just don't know what to do. I talk to Morgan alot. Tonight I will wish her a happy Easter and I will tell her to wish Philip a happy Easter too. As always, thinking of you and Philip. Take care, Larry
Diane, thank you for the kind thoughts. I think of you and Philip also. Just having a horrible time yet. Like all of us. It's just so hard to do anything, even the simple things. Your notes do help alot. I wish you and me and the others didn't have to be on this journey. So sad. Like Morgan I see Philip liked to help people. Morgan went to the county home with our church group alot, and she enjoyed talking with and helping the elderly and handicapped. The church choir also went to sing for the county home. I'm sure Morgan and Philip are in heaven helping wherever they can. take care, Larry
Diane, Thank you for caring. You are right, no more beautiful days. having a very hard time too. Never ever be the same. I do think of you and Philip often. I do know Philip is one of Morgan's friends now. Launched 20 balloons for Morgan today. Also for Philip and other children. Please take care. Larry
