I am so very sorry for your loss. Meredith was always so much fun in high school that I was excited to reconnect when I moved to Ponchatoula and both worked at North Oaks. It was special when my daughter Amanda and Gaylin became friends at PHS. I know you are devastated but I hope you take comfort in your memories. I'm sure she is making all the angels laugh now.
