I was so sad to learn of Meg's passing. We attended Chandler School together and would meet every few years for a "girl's luncheon" with several other friends. Meg was such a nice person. Please accept sincere sympathies from my husband and me.

When I was 17, Meg and her family took me in and treated me as one of their own, She was truly like a second mother to me. I'll never forget the kindness she and her family have shown me over the years. Meg was one of my closest friends, and she will be deeply missed.
