I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Meg. She was such a fun and wonderful friend to me during our time at St. Anne's. Her wonderful sense of humor and kind heart was very special to all of her friends during those years. Her laughter was contagious just like her smile. The whole family lit up the school with their smile and laughter and she was the shining star. She will be missed I'm sure and I'm so very sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to the whole family for the loss of your loved one. I understand only too well the grief that will fill your days. However, the great love you felt for Meghan will always be your saving grace. May God bless you.

To Geo and Rachel, she'll be the warmest, most fun after-school babysitter when she and Eileen would hang with them. To Paul, she'll be a cherished and much-loved friend and little sister. She never complained about the hardships she endured, she always had a...

Eileen, Michelle and Kevin, and the whole family,
Sweet Meg was a treasure - an Irish gem. I will always remember her with a big smile, her beautiful blue eyes BRIGHT with anticipation! She was so very brave. I cherish that in her. She absolutely loved being a mother first, exploring and enjoying all the challenges and mystery of parenting - seeing them as "adorable" moments. She savored even the littlest moments most of us let slip by. She loved her family and was so proud of them...
