The wife of a 23-year-old Newhaven man who tragically died after being diagnosed with a brain tumour has written a poem in his memory.

Morgan Sandalls died on January 10, this year. He was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumour in November, 2019, after he started having seizures.

The young dad, who was a gas and heating engineer, underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy in his fight against the disease.

But at the end of last year, he was tragically told the tumour had grown and he had just weeks to live.

His wife, Elisha Johnson, 21, who he shares a two-year-old son called Riley with this week issued a heartfelt poem in her husband’s memory.

It reads:

The question of life.

Life has no limits, nor no boundaries, life gives us hurdles but there are ways around them no matter how simple or hard they are to conquer.

Who knows the meaning of life? Is it to die? Is it to cram as much as you can into a time that has limits?
