I was so sorry to hear about Megan. She is a beautiful girl and obviously has touched many many people in her short life. I am sure you are so proud of her many accomplishments. May God give you comfort in the fact she is smiling down from Heaven (with that beautiful smile)and you will be together again someday. My thoughts & prayers are with you both during this most difficult of times.

There are no words to tell you how saddened I am that you all have to face this time in your life. It is true that God will not let you face it alone, but it may not seem that way right now. I know God will hold you and comfort you with the peace only He can give.

I had the pleasure of working with Megan for several months.She had a way of engaging those around her and making all she came in contact with feel welcome. She was always smiling and I will remember her for this and her keen sense of style and class. My heart goes out to her family and my prayers are with them and those who loved Megan.

Denise and family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Megan. I did not know her but from the many times I spoke with Denise and saw the pictures in her office I could see what a gift she was to her parents and to all she was around. I pray that God will be felt at your side as you go through the days to follow.
Cherish the memories. Again so sorry

To the Carter Family, I am sorry for the loss of your daughter, niece, and cousin. Megan was always bubbly, cheerful, happy, and taught me to look at the positive side of life when things looked bleak. She had a personality that made people want to be around her and a heart of gold. I will miss Megan very much but I find comfort knowing that she is with The Lord and that we will see her again one day.
