Just days before she passed away, Morganna ticked off one of the items on her list: marriage.
She tied the knot to her long-term boyfriend Willy prior to her death.
As one of Morganna’s wishes, the couple got married in front of 150 friends and family.
The reception was held in one of the best known ballrooms in Palmas and included a buffet of Japanese food along with video and light shows dreamed up by Morganna.
However, the bride was already very weak by this stage and was unable to speak or join the celebrations for long periods of time.
Immediately after the reception, she returned to the General Hospital of Palmas (HGP) to continue her intensive treatment.
Hours after announcing that she was dreaming of beginning a new treatment and begging her followers for financial help, she tragically passed away.
She said: ‘We have started a different treatment. The doctors have already given up on us.
‘With this new treatment, we will fight until the end. However, it is very expensive. Now we keep asking for help to try until the last moment.’
