Megan,
It’s amazing that to so many people the simple thought of your smile is what we all choose to remember in our hearts. You were such a beautiful and happy person and I will never forget you or the fun memories I have from when we were younger. It’s the small things like skipping school to eat pancakes at the diner, how your car always smelled like cherries, rainy days at dmp on the diving boards, and of course your smile...I’ll miss you pretty girl, play it sweet in heaven.
To Megan’s family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers and I think of you on the beautiful sunny days. Thank you for bringing Megan into my life.

John and Janey, and Boys,
I am so sad and want to extend my deepest sympathies to you. I coached Megan at HNJ for soccer and she has always been special to me. She was a dear young woman with grace and poise, not so much on the soccer field, but she tried and had fun and was a joy to know.
God Bless you All.

Megan will be missed. She watched over my children at the pool and became friends with my sons, often inviting them back to her house after work. Megans brothers were on my hockey team and I coached with her Dad,while mom was always in the wings cheering them on. Our lives seem to always be intwined if only for a moment. Our hearts and prayers are with you. Megan enriched our lives with her smile and warmth toward others. We will always remember her and the happiness she brought my family.

Dear Janey, John and Brothers:

Our words cannot describe the sorrow and sadness and how we feel for the loss of Megan. She felt like a sister to Victoria and daughter to us. As Victoria said “we were so busy and planning to get together soon, and now it is too late”. We can only wish you the strength to move forward.

You are in our thoughts and prayers

My girls and I knew Megan from her years on the synchronized swimming team. I remember her as always smiling, always in a good mood; she was a genuine optimist, and it was hard not to be happy when you were around her. All the girls on the team considered her a friend. She was always kind, and was a great example to the younger girls as she evolved into her role as team leader. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Patton family and to everyone who will miss Megan.

Dear Patton Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful daughter and sister. I remember Megan so well at Holy Name, and loved being her 3rd grade teacher.

My prayers are with you at this difficult time. May God Bless and watch over you.
Sincerely,

Megan was the first person I ever called my best friend. We shared so much of our childhood, and I was devastated to hear of the accident. Megan was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside, and I will miss her very much.

John, Janey, Jack, Tony, and Austin,
You were my second family for so many years. Knowing that you are suffering breaks my heart. I love you all.
Josh,
You are blessed to have shared the years you did with Megan, but you deserved many, many more together. I am praying for you.

To the Patton Family,
The loss of Megan is overwhelming. We have so very many fond memories of Megan from the many years that we spent together as a "family" of the Spiralettes.
Megan was true to her name. Megan means "pearl" and a pearl is known for symbolizing the overcoming of adversity through radiant transcendence. That is how Megan will be remembered...she was radiant in so many ways, from her smile to her warm personality. To know her was to love her. Megan, like pearls, was known to be honest, pure, wise, dignified and held in high regard. Megan was gift to all of us! It hurts to have her taken away when she had so much more to give. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Patton family and to those that were touched by Megan.

Megan was a beautiful young woman with so much promise. It really saddened my heart to hear about this tragic accident. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. God's Word also comforts us in the book of Revelation, chapter 21, verse 4, which says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

What a cruel world we live in that someone so beautiful, kind, and gentle can be taken so unfairly. The world just seems a little less bright in her absence. I will always remember the little girl and her family that lived behind me growing up, and I will always remember her days at Holy Name with me. Most of all, I will always remember her smile and her laugh. I will forever regret not having kept in touch after middle school, especially while she was at Pitt with me. Megan was always a good friend. I feel privileged to have known her, and I will forever miss her.

To her family:
I cannot begin to fathom the depth of your grief. Please know that my family and I will keep you all in our prayers.

John, Janey, Jack, Tony and Austin: The Cumberland Valley Spiralettes is where we met Megan when she was 10 years old. Megan was a talented synchronized swimmer. We competed for years travelling from Ohio into New England. This small group of girls became very close - we were a family. I still am not able to comprehend that this beautiful, kind and funny girl is gone from us.
What do I see when I think of Megan? Her smile. Just like her mother's smile. We love you Megan! Anne, Laura and Amy

Megan, in the time I knew you, you were always making me and everyone else laugh. You were always smiling and you were always so sweet. I wont forget last Halloween how we totally made up your costume in like 20 min and you looked so cute! You drove me everywhere that night so i could sign up for contests. You were always beautiful and just so much fun. I'm gonna miss you, I was really looking forward to coming out there to see how great you and Josh were doing. I don't think anyone could ever forget you.
My heart and deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Patton family and Josh. I'm sorry for your tragic loss.

I knew Megan in gradeschool, and anyone who knew her then would agree that she was ALWAYS kind, loving, and gentle to every soul she encountered. When I think of my years at Holy Name, Megan Patton was the girl who was sweet, pretty, shy but not too shy, and just so NICE to everybody. She was a special kind of person, and I'm honored to have had those years to learn from her shining example.

My family and I extend our deepest sympathies to the Patton family and send them our strength and love to help them endure these difficult circumstances. You are all in our thoughts and prayers, and to second what Katie Fogarty said...everybody did love Megan.

Dear Megan... I haven't talked to you in awhile.. but I think about you a lot.. I went through my old photo albums today and dug out some of our old pictures.. we were like 8 haha. I remember our sleepovers, our trips together and all of our adventures in the woods behind your house! You were an amazing person, and you will be deeply missed. I regret that our friendship faded a bit, but I know you have continued to touch the lives of many others, just like you did mine. To Mr. and Mrs. P and the boys, my sympathy goes out to you all. If there is anything I can do, do not hesitate to call. May you rest in peace Meg. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
