Service Details
Alyssa was the sunshine in her family’s life. Born September 11, 2002, she was sweet and funny with a great sense of humor. She was a little social butterfly who spread joy wherever she went. Alyssa loved drawing and taking selfies. She was a special 12 year old who like playing video games and loved animals.
She will be forever missed and loved by her dad, Damian Morgan; her mom, Nicole Morgan; and her siblings, Livy, Adam and Rachel. She will also be lovingly remembered by her grandparents, David and Debra Hanson and Clay and Liz Morgan and her great-grandparents, Mae Countryman and Maria and Juanquin Castro.
Alyssa tragically left this earth far too soon on Thursday, April 9, 2015. The family respectfully asks for privacy while they celebrate Alyssa’s life and mourn her passing. There will be no public services held at this time.
Condolences may be expressed through Hamilton’s website:

I may be late but spread awareness
The mom showed no care in the world.

I loved Alyssa with all my heart, and knowing the story behind it was scary. The mom lied, she lied to everyone, and she was never bullied. Her mom mentally abused her and made up stories to look innocent, it was in the note Alyssa left behind, which her mom burned. Alyssa blamed her mom for everything, and everybody else was mentioned in the note about how much she will miss them, BUT her mom. Her mom is in jail now and should be forgotten and known for killing her daughter. No wonder nobody at her school had a clue about it, because the mom lied, nobody knew she was bisexual, it was never mentioned at school, and it was never out loud, Alyssa never told anybody she was bisexual but her family. Her mom used that as an advantage to get free money from the school.

Thank you to all who expressed condolences to us, my sister was my other half and unfortunately I will never be whole without her again. Still healing five years later she would have graduated this year and that makes it even harder. Please reach out to me if you have stories or pictures of her. I knew of her close friend but I couldnt remember every name and face of them all there were so many. My email is kai7167691849@gmail.com, thank you all

I didn't know Alyssa. I came across her name while just going through the internet, read her story, and cried. It doesn't take me to know her to know it was a horrible tragedy. She is the youngest person I've heard that has committed suicide and her age sends waves of great sadness through me. It is a shame that she never named who pushed her over the edge like this and it's a greater shame this goes on. I know I won't be able to sleep tonight now that I've learned about her but I shouldn't knowing stuff like this happens. My deepest most heartfelt condolences, Family of Alyssa Morgan.

Dear family of Alyssa Morgan in Des Moines, IA,
Please accept the heartfelt condolences from our nonprofit BiNet USA and the bisexual community. BiNet USA is a 25 year old 501c3 non profit and I am it's president, Faith Cheltenham.
We are seeking to draw attention to Alyssas death from suicide and the need for more support for bisexual youth who report thinking of suicide much more often than their gay, lesbian and straight peers.
Today we have several blogs and news outlets working on stories related to this weekend's passing of Adam Kizer in Sonoma, CA. Adam was a bright, warm and funny teen who was bullied severely. Like Alyssa, he suffered until he could fight no more.
We wish to help take up the fight for Adam, for Alyssa, and the too many gone.
Please email me at thefayth@gmail.com to be connected with reporters and bloggers interested in interviewing you about Alyssa.
You may also be considering legal action due to the discrimination Alyssa may have experienced at the hands of her school district. BiNet USA has a close working relationship with several legal advocacy groups who may be interested in discussing your case with you. Please email me if we can connect you.
Lastly, we have worked with the White House on issues relating to the bisexual community in America. I want to suggest you write a letter about your daughter to President Obama who has been a staunch supporter of the B in LGBT. Tell him the whole story and ask for his help in making sure Alyssa's legacy means real support specifically targeting bisexual youth in America.
I would be proud to forward that letter to the White House and the administration officials that work to make school safer for everyone.
The B in LGBT is using the hashtags #MakeItToTomorrow and #biphobiakills in social media to draw attention to the mental health concerns of bi teens. Please consider joining us or visiting Twitter to see how Alyssas story is being shared in the hopes that more of us #MakeItToTomorrow.
Our Twitter is @BiNetUSA and we send our love thru the wires to you, your family and to dear Alyssa. May she rest in peace and in power, knowing the grief of our people will be heard until there is not one more loss of life.
With deepest sympathy,
Faith Cheltenham, BiNet USA President

P.S.
Thank you for sharing your story and allowing Alyssa's voice to be heard. She was a beautiful singer, and we were really moved by her cover of "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri. May she be remembered as precious, talented and valued by her family, friends and community.

Alyssa was an amazing person and it hurts to know shes gone. I loved her so much. We were getting to know each other before she died but that's okay cause now i can say she was part of my life, and im glad she was because i don't know what id do without her to talk to. I will miss her so much and so will a lot of others. She was in one of my classes last quarter and every time someone would be sad or mad she would put a huge smile on everyone's faces. Shes in a better place now, shes not suffering of anything and shes probably dancing up there in heaven. I will be praying for your family, She will be missed by me a lot. I love you Alyssa rip bbg:(

I can only imagine your pain at the loss of your daughter. Our youth minister, Jason, told us last night about her death and we all prayed for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and we are praying for the divine comfort of God to sustain you all in this difficult time.

My daughter is in 7th grade at SE Polk. Although the girls were not acquainted, our heart felt condolences go out to you and your family. Our family lost our 13 year old son in a tragedy. Words can not express the pain a family feels at the loss of a child nor can anyone truly understand exactly what you are going through. May Alyssa rest in peace and may her family know that many prayers are going up for you all.
