We can't imagine the pain you feel but hope there is some comfort in knowing Meaghan has people all over the country who loved her. We wish you peace and joy in your many wonderful memories of your extra special daughter/and sister.
Fondly, Andy and Judy Aleckson

Terri and Bob, My heart goes out to you. I just tried calling the funeral home, but could not get through to you. I can't imagine being in your shoes. I send my sympathy and love to you both and Michael and Leah. I know it is meaningless to you at this time, but know that Megan is in a better place - beautiful and without sin -and maybe she will bump ino my mother or father or brother-in-law and countless friends. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. If you need a place to crash, give us a call. Love you, deb and tj

Dear Terri, Bob and Mike:
It's been so long since I've seen any of you, but my heart goes out to all at this time. My memories of Meaghan are as a baby and young child back in Darien. Glen and I are both praying for you and the rest of her friends and family who are surely surely devastated. God bless and comfort you. We will arrange to have a Mass said for Meaghan at our parish.
