Three months has passed and it feels like yesterday. While we were to obtain our freedom within days, it was a bond that developed and indescribable. I'm doing what I can to save others like yourself and three Angels, Megan. Love you and miss our songs, poetry and vino chats online. Youre always close to me and my strongest and bravest Angel. Love you All!

Although we didn't know the family personally, we feel for the pain and sorrow that the loved ones must be feeling.

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I write this to Megan's family. I met Megan in Port Jervis, NY, where I had the privilege of being her kindergarten teacher. Megan was a beautiful little girl, with bright eyes and a contagious smile. She was gentle and loving to her little friends in class, and at her young age of five, I watched with awe of how quickly she took control of situations both inside and outside of the classroom. She was soft spoken and always put others needs before her own. I was fortunate enough to have her sister, Colleen the following year and kept in touch uh with her mom, Jackie, exchanging Christmas cards until not too long ago. I continue to pray your life in heaven will be as beautiful as you, and your babies are safe and sound in your arms. I'll never forget your quiet little voice, your soft long beautiful blonde curls and your bright eyes and smile. May God bless all you left behind and know you made a difference here on earth.

We lost contact over the years, but I always enjoyed seeing her pictures of her kids on Facebook and seeing the journey she went through with her youngest, Willow. What a wonderful person she was and she will be missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this very difficult time. The Polizotto Family - Phil, Kelly and Gianna
