Megan, I love you so much. So much of who I am today is owed to the countless hours of coffee time and heart to hearts we had. I will never, never, never forget you.

Dear Megan,
I wore your black and red Jeffrey Campbell shoes to your memorial. The peep-toe ones with the wood stiletto heel. I wore bright red toe-nail polish to match. I barely made it through the service but your shoes on my feet kept me grounded. I love you always and forever.
Your cousin.

I remember always looking up to Megan when I was younger when we danced at Broadway Academy together. She always walked around the studio with a HUGE smile across her face and I remember how pretty she ALWAYS looked :). And she was always nice to us younger kids, never thought she was better than us just because she could dance better or was older. She actually influenced me to get hella piercings on my ears cuz i loved how she always had crazy mixed matched earrings and how cool they looked on her hahah now i have like 12. We didnt talk much but I was really good friends with Emily and my brother was really good friends with Megan. Rest in Peace Megan, you made an impact on me and you didnt even know it. Love to the Flynn/Murphy family, stay strong.

I didn't know you well Megan, but people were drawn to you. When you danced at the Broadway Academy of Performing Arts in Sacramento, you made an impression on my daughter as you probably did with most people. You showed her how to put her hair in a bun for recitals. She looked up to you and thought you were very talented, nice, and pretty. We are both shocked that you have passed, and we want you to know that you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
