My heart goes out to Megan's entire family, especially her husband and three children. It's still hard to believe that Taylor and I will not run into you at Walmart or anywhere else in Rincon anymore and Tori won't be able to stop and say "hi" at school. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten. Fly high sweet angel!

I will miss Megan's smiling face at the ball fields. Always so happy to be there, supporting her children and her husband. The love she had for her family just overflowed. I got to witness sweet moments between her and her babies just 5 days ago, and now i will keep them in my memory always. She was a supermom if there ever was one. Prayers for you Daniel, and your kids, to one day be able to focus on the happy times. You are such a loving, patient, and thoughtful man. You are an amazing coach and father. All of the children adore you. This community loves you and will do whatever it takes to get you through this. Also thinking of Megan's daddy who lost not one but 2 loves of his life. Im just so heartbroken for all of you.
