Megan, my sister and best friend. I will miss you forever and treasure the memories. You taught me things they don't teach in school. You gave me hope when there was none. You were there when I needed you. You never judged me, just laughed and said I was crazy! You inspired me. I miss you.

Love,
Your sister
Erin


My Sister

My sister is my heart.
She opens doors to rooms
I never knew were there,
Breaks through walls
I don't recall building.
She lights my darkest corners
With the sparkle in her eyes.

My sister is my soul.
She inspires my wearied spirit
To fly on wings of angels
But while I hold her hand
My feet never leave the ground.
She stills my deepest fears
With the wisdom of her song.

My sister is my past.
She writes my history
In her eyes I recognize myself,
Memories only we can share.
She remembers, she forgives
She accepts me as I am
With tender understanding.

My sister is my future.
She lives within my dreams
She sees my undiscovered secrets,
Believes in me as I stumble
She walks in step beside me,
Her love lighting my way.

My sister is my strength
She hears the whispered prayers
That I cannot speak
She helps me find my smile,
Freely giving hers away
She catches my tears
In her gentle hands.

My sister is like no one else
She's my most treasured friend
Filling up the empty spaces
Healing broken places
She is my rock, my inspiration.
Though impossible to define,
In a word, she is...my sister.

Megan was my cousin, and a friend to me. She taught me alot of things in life. I spent alot of time with her in my young teenage years!!!!! I miss her everyday, and know she is watching down on all of us!!! I never thought when I was home last May it would be the last time I saw you. I am so grateful that my son got to meet you at least once!!! You are missed by all.

Your cousin,

Jamie

Megan was such a caring and kind mother. When she would come to pick up Matthew from daycare he was always so excited to see her. They always greeted each other with a hug. Megan will truly be missed by all.
