- A West Bountiful family is finding healing in an unlikely way, months after losing their daughter in a tragic accident.
Madolin Morley, 16, died in May after a rock pillar supporting a hammock collapsed on top of her during a backyard get-together with friends.
In their grief, her parents said, they have found some unexpected support from the people who were with them on the worst day of their life.

Perfect example of how we truly don’t know when our time is and to make the most of everyday.
MY MOST SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🙏🏻
I can't stop crying. There are still some good people out there. Hope you heal as a family. God bless❤
May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen.
It’s nice to see and know people care for each other..❤❤❤❤❤
I can't even imagine what it's like to lose a child. My heart goes out to this family and all involved in trying to save Madolin.
So sad 😢and beautiful 🙏🏻 for everyone coming together for this family 🙏🏻!!!
Sad to hear, sorry for yiur loss. Whst a beautiful daughter. She looks like her father. This is the second tragedy I've heard in a few days around hammocks.
So many young people are dying in various way’s right now some are more tragic then other’s but losing a child no matter how you lost them is tragic they never get the chance to grow up and have a life with a husband or a wife or children it’s so sad especially to happen to a child ‼️😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
"some children dying are more tragic than other children dying"
- literally you. This will be your legacy in this world, Debra. Are you proud of that?
I'm sure all she meant was the way in which they die. Losing a child to a car accident or losing a child to a murder for instance. In both cases you are heartbroken with grief but you could see how a murder would be even more to process.
So tragic, im so so sorry 😞
What a tragic freak accident! My heart goes out to this family and I pray God will comfort them as only He can❤️
My deepest condolences. ❤
I am so very sorry about your daughter. I’ve always been afraid of losing my child by the grace of God. He kept him safe. I cannot imagine how you feel but your story is so encouraging love and prayers to you all.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 🫶😇🐰
So tragic and sad, but truly inspiring that the family had such a capacity for appreciation and connection despite their grief. It must mean the world to the first responders to be acknowledged. I’m sure their jobs are incredibly difficult at times. It’s nice to see something meaningful come from what was otherwise just an awful tragedy.
So sorry for your loss.
REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL MADELINE 🙏🏻
If my child died I would never be happy again I'm sorry I don't understand how people move on from that..hell my 13 year old Labrador died 3 year's ago and her death still tears me apart like it was yesterday
May GOD BLESS this family & their friends.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My heart is broken for you to lose your young daughter in such a accidental way that no one probably could have foreseen that and it makes us all wonder when we lose our childperiod. If this only happened to you 6 months ago to a year ago. Trust me when I say you're still in the shock phase. And it's nice that you have great support. I unfortunately did not have that sort of support but I did have family support. After my younger daughter took her life 3 years and 9 months ago this Christmas is hard for me and her 3 older siblings. Because it is the last time we actually saw her. The last time I got to kiss and hold her. Yes, I did get to kiss her 3 days after her death before we had her cremated. But she was married and lived with her husband for 3 and a 1/2 years and he is the one who founder at the house. I can imagine his pain I've been so close. But as the years gone by now we leave him there because he has his own grief to get over and there's nothing more to be said there's nothing more to be asked, we saw letters that she wrote and she was at a lot of pain that she kept from us. She did not keep it from her husband but definitely kept her from her siblings. And the last time she saw me on Christmas Eve 2019. She was peaceful sweet caring. And I truly believe in all my heart. That was her Goodbye to me. She did call me 2 days before she entered her life March 2020. But I think she was distant and her listening to what I was saying. So but I didn't know that she was planning that so. Again it's a difference I know and how we lose our children. I have 32 years of memories and I don't know the last 13 14 15 years of her life. What was real or what was a mask? It's hard to say when someone has a severe depression. But in no way could ever come close to the pain you have. Of something so odd happening to kill your child, I can't even fathom what that's like and I could say is that it's God, he is when he wants to take us home, he knows when it's going to be, but part of me feels and I'm a Christian. Believe me, I meant my daughter was a born again. Christian and she believes in God and Jesus since she wrote that in her letters that she thought maybe God would come down and save her. And he did because he wanted her with him because she was in so much pain. And yet I believe that God could not want the people who were left to have as much pain and devastation. As we all feel when we lose a child. I'm thankful that I got to see her afterwards. I got to kiss her. We got to have a service because it was just the beginning of COVID and besides your Ashes. Home with her husband and then had her funeral and September, and it was perfect because I had 6 months with her sisters and her brother to plan it just the way I wanted it and just the way I know she would have loved it elegant. Yet she was a rocket ice climber and a marathon runner and had her master's degree in nutrition. So we kept it very simple and outdoors. And if fit it fit her so well and it gave us time to put together a slideshow for her and then all of our siblings and family and friends. And 200 people came was all afterwards, though here in New Jersey. And it's a day that I will never forget actually, I will never forget the moment that my truth. Older daughters were stayed in on my front porch just standing there and I opened the door and I looked at their faces and my older daughter had tears in herise but kind of like wanted to say something but didn't say anything and my second daughter had the stomach look on her face and then when my older daughter blurted out. Megan killed herself. I literally backed up and then for an hour. Just called them liars and told them. I didn't understand why they would make up such a story like this. Because we'd never, ever ever expected this in a million years. Not at the point where she was where she was. Just ready to take on a new job after 7 years of education. Suicide is tough and any death of the child was one of the worst feelings and we will never get over it. We work alongside of our grief since now. It's going on almost 4 months, but it took me 3 years of therapy to try to understand why? And I'll never have an answer. But God bless you. God bless that whole new family that you have. God bless your younger children. My heart goes out to you. I just can't imagine that happening and your daughter is beautiful
I’m so sorry about your loss. I have been in your daughter’s shoes, except I failed, I’m still here. I wanted to ‘be gone’ so my family could cry & move on in life, without screwed up me. I saw myself as a burden and I didn’t want anyone to suffer from me anymore & the only way I saw fit was to rid myself, so my family could be free of me. They didn’t want to be free of me and had no idea that I had spiraled so far, so fast. I’m still here, I won’t ever attempt my life again, but I do feel that depression creeping back up, I’m having a really tough time. If you pray, please do for me. Thank you, and again, I am so sorry about the loss of your beautiful daughter, 32 years is not long enough. Merry Christmas 🎁
😢🙏
What a tragedy!
So sad
🙏🙏😥😥🙏🙏
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sad this happened at their house.
💕🇿🇦
No matter the last image, I personally would not want to be kept from getting to my child. It is not their call to make. That belongs to the mother. Terrible tragedy. How did that pillar just fall over? Guess it is too late to inquire, but it does matter to prevent an elsewhere next time incident with another. Poorly constructed, not to code, trying to save a buck, I would imagine ... that cost a young girl her life. My G. Just so sad.
Bless this beautiful family and give them the hope and courage to press on Father give them peace that makes no sense. Bless this officer to Lord. She will live forever in their hearts ❤️ as she is now home in glory forever with Jesus where they all will be together again. Stay strong in the God.
This is so sad, but it seems like this happens quite a bit with hammocks.
I learned how dangerous hammocks are hearing how so many people are killed by hammocks hanging on a cement pill or or a tree that trap down right onto them. I always tell people how dangerous they can be hanging them on things once I saw another news clipping a few years ago for the same thing. So sad
Hammocks should be banned everywhere. They are so dangerous. Just get a blanket and pillow and lay down lol
Man ..😢 .. I would need tons of meds to even be half ok ..😢..peace be with the family 🙏
