Mrs. Neumann and family,
I just heard the news about Meredith and I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I met your daughter during her visits to see Margaret at Preakness. She was always so nice to all the patients here and called them all by name. Her personality and her smile would light up the room. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I've missed you ever since you left Sharp, and I will never forget you. You were one of the kindest people I have ever met - a true Girl Scout.. Your love of life, people, (and baseball!) was an inspiration to all of us.

Mer,
You always put others ahead of yourself. Your father, your grandmother, your mom, your friends....everyone. Your bubbly personality and optimism always brightened the days of others. My life and this world is so much emptier today without you in it.
