When Meredith was feeling happy, grateful and proud about herself or life's amazing gifts of; nature, songs, people, places, things or food...Her loving joyful gracious open heart, was shared with us visibly....
through her twinkling eyes, innocent childlike big & small smiles and her (occasional) theatrically well performed, Facebook thumbs Up fists, whispering "I like It" Hallelujah! Thats the Meredith, I will most remember and miss!

We are so deeply saddened to learn of the very untimely passing of dear, sweet Meredith. May fond memories sustain you all in this devastating loss.

The strong early and first friendship that our daughters had together still remains dear in all of our hearts.

Meredith was so talented and had an exuberance for life. There is now a void in our world with her passing.
I think I can hear 'Mer' singing to us all from heaven, as we mere mortals try to carry a tune. Sing on always in our hearts Mer, as we will be listening.

Blessings,

Lisa Foster
