Not sure what to say?

Meg was a great friend of mine for many years. She will be missed.

Carter, Wells, Langdon, Your Mom was indeed a special person. How many fun (,yes, fun), hours we spent in the JWER. Our after work gatherings with family and friends made wonderful memories. As we aged over the years and especially during the time your father was so sick, we had some heart to heart talks. She loved Eddie and each of you with all her heart. Each grandchild was special. After she was moved out town, I tried to just call and say hello. some days were good as you know and...

Dearest Meg, You have had such a positive effect on so many. It was a pleasure to have had time enjoying our families. My prayers & love go with you. Thank you for all you gave to so many. You will be dearly missed.

I met Meg and Eddie 52 years ago when my late husband Leitch and I started dating. Eddie and Leitch were fraternity brothers at Tech. The four of us enjoyed being together and sailing (Leitch and Eddie more than Meg and me) I was always in awe of your mom´s intellect, knowledge of literature and her wonderful sense of humor. We always laughed a lot. I was thrilled when I learned your parents were expecting a baby and before I knew it, there were three! We moved to NC so didn´t see each other...

I am beyond sad to hear of precious Meg´s passing and so very sorry for her family. I worked with Megatha at Johnston Willis Hospital close to 30 years ago. Such a great nurse and without a doubt one of the funniest people I have ever known. The shift was going to be a hoot if Meg was working. I love you Meg and so glad you´re with your Eddie. Rest easy girl, you deserve it .

I knew Meg as a neighbor in The Bluffs. Such a kind lady, determined to keep active. We supported each other with cheers to keep walking-especially when Meg was recovering from back surgery! She was certainly a bright light in my day whenever I encountered her!

Meg was a new friend I met her when I moved to the Bluffs. She was a welcoming beacon and immediate friend, I will miss her and remember her fondly.

I´ve said this to mutual friends but now to her family, Meg was my best friend and the memories go on and on of the times we shared growing up. No one can take that away. You will hear from many people in her life and she was certainly so very special. My condolences.

Meg-a-lita! I'm at a loss for words! Your laugh, your humor, your nursing skills and compassion for others made an indelible mark on my life. I will miss you. Pattie Labelle, the Nurse from Hell.
