I had the privilage on knowing Maggie when she was a child. She was always happy and smiling. She was a great friend to my son Kyle. He has fond memories of the time they spent together: trick-or-treating, ice skating, food fights. We are deeply saddened by the loss of Maggie and your families are in our constant thoughts and prayers. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Kim, Art, Ellen, Dan, and Jeff:

My heart aches for all of you -- but I am so conforted by special memories of the magnificent Maggie -- especially early on Saturday mornings, when Maggie and Ellen would knock on the back door, asking if "Jeff can play" -- and my delight in sending them up to his bedroom to use his bed as a trampoline to get him out of bed and, of course, getting him to play with them.

What a joy it was to have you next door in Webster Groves.

I can't pretend to know how you are dealing with this -- just know that you are surrounded by love, prayers.

I am stunned. My heart goes out to all of you. Maggie left a lot of memories with those of us who knew her through Cottonwood Gulch. She touched a lot of lives here and we will all cherish those memories.

Dear Family,

I was Maggie's Resident Director in Paris during the UD spring term in 2005.

I remember Maggie as one of the sweetest enthusiastic, dynamic and warmest students I ever had in my programs, and above all eager to learn. She loved beeing in Paris as you certainly know. It is that kind of student who gives you the feeling that the work we are dooing is worth it.

My deepest condolences to you.

Her lost is a big shock. I will never forget her.

Au revoir Maggie!

Viviane

To the Family of Maggie,

I am a member of the Cottonwood Gulch community. My name is Beth Williams and my father's cousin, Jameson French, is the chairman of the board of trustees of Cottonwood Gulch. The Gulch is a very special place to my family. I worked with Maggie two summers ago. Maggie beamed ear to ear every day she was at the Gulch. She was wonderful with the children who attended this summer camp. Cottonwood Gulch was a very special place to Maggie. The Gulch community is deeply saddened by this loss of such a fantastic young woman. Her spirit will ALWAYS hover in the gentle breeze of the Ponderosa Pines of her beloved Gulch. Our hearts are with you and Maggie.

First time i remember seeing Maggie, i thought she was a grad-student, that was like three years ago. I couldnot have been more mistaken, she was just a freshman and I always thought how she had this unique presence that made her look wise and mature beyond her years. But above all, she was kind, graceful and loving. That is why, i think, this tragedy has got me so stricken, like the rest of us, so bad. She had this knack of remembering couplets and entire poems and just last May before we were both going to leave Newark, i told her how it's considered to be a mark of being high-brow and sophisticated in my culture. Her tragic demise, however, remains beyond my comprehension.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Maggie's family. Peace.

Family of Maggie,

I have debated for the past two days whether or not to write on Maggie's guest book. There is no easy way to say it, but I was there (with 4 friends) when Maggie went to heaven. Rest assured that Maggie did not suffer. When the time came I got down on my hands and knees prayed. I have prayed for your family every night. After reading through the guest book I wish I would have had the opportunity to meet her. Her last few minutes on this Earth changed my life forever. My thoughts are with you.

I am so very sorry to hear about Maggie. She and I were very good friends in elementary school and I have wonderful memories of climbing trees in the backyard and playing in the attic with her. My heart goes out to all of her family as well as many thoughts and prayers. Deepest condolences.

Maggie was the first college friend my daughter, Cari, brought home from the University of Delaware. And what a delightful and interesting young woman Maggie was! My prayers are with her family as they suffer through the grief of her loss. She will be greatly missed by all of us who knew her.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...

that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,

then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,

knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,

just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am speechless with shock and distress at the loss of Maggie--a loss not only to her family and to the University of Delaware, but to the wider world. She would have been a star. She was already a brilliant, accomplished, and creative student. I was fortunate enough to be the professor who taught her in one of her Fall 2005 classes, and I could never predict what she would say or write next. All I knew was that it would be extraordinary, and it always was. She had a maturity of insight and breadth of knowledge well beyond her years. In everything that she did, she demonstrated that her talents were limitless. Yet she was also a sweet, thoughtful, generous person, who refused to hog the limelight and who appreciated the contributions of others. I cannot imagine how anyone who ever met her will recover from such a devastating loss, but please know that my thoughts are with you. May you find comfort in preserving and cherishing the memories of her that she has left behind with you.

Once I babysat Maggie, Ellen and Melissa. I remember Maggie sitting in the high-chair eating pizza. She had sauce smeared all over her face. She was laughing. I am so sorry for your loss. Words seem so meaningless right now. Please know I will keep all of Maggie's family in my toughts.
