May 10, 2012

Megan came into our lives on a fresh spring day, May 9, 1988. She left us on May 10, 2012. Her life was a giant bouquet of flowers bathed in brilliant sunshine to all that knew her. Mother, Daughter, Sister, and perfect in all. Her friends and family will always love and cherish her memory in our hearts. Those left to treasure her memory are her daughter, Hope Koester, parents Pat and Kathy Koester, sister Julie (Joel), brother Sean Koester, and nephews Jacob and Joshua Parter. Funeral services are under the care of Mountain View Mortuary. A memorial will be held in her honor at Mountain View Mortuary on Saturday, May 19, 2012, at 2:00pm.

Megan...I think of you often especially this time of year. I pray you have found peace.

My heart is broken. You were the brightest of stars in the whole sky. I will think of you daily and hold you close to my heart always. You would be so proud of Hope and I know you are there helping her through her troubles. She is a miracle. I see you in Hope shining through like a beacon. I will do my best to be the best gramps. I have to believe I will get to hold you some day and tell you how much I love you.

Miss you. Pops.

Megan the short time you have been in my life you became a big part, a bigger part of my life then most people who have known me my entire life. Your life was cut way to short. You had a personality that turned shoulders and what people can only dream to be like. You honestly were the most beautiful woman inside and out. A perfect angle taken from us way too soon. You will be missed more than anyone can imagine. You will always have a place in my heart. Your daughter Hope, your family, and your good friends like Ty will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You'll be missed more then disneyland and only you and Ty will know what this means. RIP Beautiful

Meg,

You will be missed by so many. I will pray for peace and grace to be with your family during this time and strength to take care of Hope. I read the last text I sent you over and over, it says "expect a miracle", they do happen. I will expect that miracle for Hope everyday. I pray for peace for you also. I am sorry so many of us didn't see the "dark" and be able to help you. The world will be darker without you and your beautiful smile. Your beauty and love with live on everyday with Hope, what a fitting name for an angel.
Love & Light

We are so sorry to hear the sudden loss of Megan. We are all in shock. My wife Perla and I had the opportunity to get to know Megan at the UCD NICU while our daughter and Hope were patients and roommates there. We called them our longest roommates at the NICU. It was always a joy to see Megan and her big smile. Megan was always so good to her daughter. She would always be there next to Hope. She loved Hope very much.
