Dear John, Sue and family,

May our Heavenly Father hold each one of you close to His heart and give you strength and peace as you deal with this sudden difficult time.

Dear John and Family:

David and I know how much you love your children; you were always talking about them, bragging on them, and being the very best of fathers. Remember always that Meghan knew you loved her. Love goes a long ways, and it is for everlasting. God's richest blessings on you and yours, always.

Susan, as a friend and father of a daughter, I'm searching without luck for words to express my sadness on the loss of your beautiful daughter. I just did a short prayer not only for her, but also for you and the rest of your family.

May the love of Jesus, the guidance of our Lord the Father, and the light of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

I just read about Meghan on the web. I am sooo sorry. I am sitting here remembering when she worked for me on the farm and could not stay awake that first summer. When she came back to work the next summer, things were much better. I remember all the laughs and giggles, work and play with Meghan and the other kids. She turned out so beautiful !!!!!!!

My love to all of you!

To the entire Vincent family... my thoughts are with all of you as you deal with this terrible loss. Meghan is gone too soon and will be remembered as a beautiful, vibrant and outstanding young woman.

I shared the tragic news with my son, Jon Lovegrove the day of the accident.
Jon was a close friend of Meghan as was devastated, shocked and in disbelief upon receiving my call.
Since Jon is enlisted in the Marine Corp, and will be unable to attend the services, I would like to offer Jon's and his entire families genuinely heart felt condolences to the Vincent family, and pray that god give them the strength and hope to pull them through this most trying of times.
Jon Lovegrove and Family.
