It may be comforting to know that during Megan's final earthly moments, she was doing what she might have loved the most: socializing with her beloved friends, admiring the pristine beauty of the coastline, exchanging thoughts, hopes and dreams of the past, present and future. Peace be with all of us who mourn her loss.
