To Megans family and her daughterI can not believe it. I am so sorry for your loss. Megan and I have been friends for more than a decade even though I haven't seen her in a while we always considered each other friends. Anyhow I can remember working with Megan at PALZ back in the day and she always loved being around children, giving them bigging hugs, playing with them, and giving them a big smile. I can also remember us having girls night and making tacos and just being random and silly in my kitchen, having a contestant who could sign the loudest, and even remember her at my wedding making the room glow from how she danced to how she smiled. Besides those memories there are many other memories. But there is not a time that I did not laugh, dance, or smile with Megan. She always went out of her way to care for her friends and most importantly her daughter and she will be remembered for that. To her daughter I can remember when she was carrying she was so excited to have you. She was never prouder of anything else and she had so many dreams for you and loved you more than life its self. Know that no matter where you go she is in your heart and smiling up from above looking out for you. She will always be smiling and dancing in our hearts. Miss you Megan! Wish we kept more in touch as the years went by but glad always considered each other friends. Will always cherish your memories Megan.

I love you, Megga. I miss you and all the things I never thought I'd miss. I hope you're going to be looking down at all of us and be proud. Especially the love of your life, little Lainster. She said she wishes she could just get in a rocketship to be able to fly and see you. ❤ Miranda, your annoying little sister.
