Dear Bryce, Amy and Andrew,
I was so shocked to hear from Ada that Meg passed away. I have been away most of the summer and just found out today when we were in the bank. I had no idea that Meg was ill.
My thoughts and prayers for you and your family at this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Dear Ginther Family,
I'm very sorry for your loss. Meg had worked with me when I was younger. She was a fantastic, caring person, whom i appreciated greatly. She had always been there for me when I had needed her and was not only great teacher, but an amazing person.

The Ginther Family: I only known your Mom/Wife for just a couple of years. I met her as I became a member of the "Breakfast Club" and we always talked about all of you and I talked about my family. She also visted me at the Laundromat a few times when I was working and I was so happy to see her walk in the door so we can catch-up on what is going on in our lives. I will miss her a great deal, thanks for sharing her with me and my family.

Ginther Family,

Meg worked with many of my students over the years. She was a great teacher and will be sadly missed by all of her friends in Elementary 3 (especially Dalton) at the Langan School.

Bryce, Amy and Andrew,
Words just can't express how sorry I am at the loss of Meg, your Wife and Mother. She truly was a treasure. She was the best friend I ever had. We had some great adventures, and I have some wonderful memories. I know that you all do too. Amy and Andrew, she was so proud of you and all you have accomplished. Keep up the good work. Again, I am so sorry, but I know the world is a better place because Meg was in it.
