Megan Lisa Madaras

I feel privileged to have had Megan as a student in my BME 201 class at Washington University in St. Louis in 2004. She radiated an especially upbeat demeanor. In my last email to Megan informing her of her grade (A, of course), she thanked me for being her teacher. Few students are so thoughtful and kind. Megan's father, Eric, and I were fellow grad students in Prof. Jim Miller's Laboratory for Ultrasonics at Washington U decades earlier. Clearly, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I...

I met Megan at Washington University where we both worked at the Alumni House. She was very sweet and kind, and an excellent worker. I'm not at all surprised that she accomplished all she did since then. This is such a sad loss. My heart goes out to her friends and family.

I worked with Megan on 3west at UVA. She was kind, professional, attentive, smart, funny and a great patient advocate. I am so saddened by this news. She made everyone's job easier with her amazing smile. I will miss her and I won't forget her. Deepest sympathies to her family and friends. Such sad news.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Madaras and I can attest to the kind, wonderful, giving person she was. She will be truly missed and this is such a great loss for everyone the knew her.

I never knew her personally but I knew full well of the impact she had on the veterans we served. I´ve worked at the VA for 10 plus years and not ONCE did I not see a smile on Dr. Madaras face. I knew her name because her character spoke volumes. I´m so saddened to hear of her passing. Her eyes could light up any room and I want her family to know that although we never spoke to one another, I always honored and respected the care and understanding she provided. Her character spoke volumes...

I have known Megan for almost a decade. She was always cheerful and energetic. She was dedicated to her work and cause. We have lost one of the most important members of our team. May God rest her soul in peace!
