It's been far too long. There's so much to tell, so much to share with you. You are missed every single day.

It will be a while, before I get to tell you everything, but, I'm sure you'll have stories of your own, too.

Don't wait up for me. You need your rest.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Megan marched to the beat of her own drum, and I loved listening to that beat....

I remember her racing around the neighborhood with a devil may care bent on life when she was young, when I knew her best, from age 4, when she came to the door to ask "do you have any kids my age I can play with?", to about age 11 when her family moved on to new pastures.

When I think of her following me in the yard, I think of Cliff Claven from Cheers. Though she was nothing like him in most respects, but her ability to "give me" facts surrounding any subject without any prompting from me while she hung out around our home, played with our daughter Amele', and was just generally "there" was a big part of who she was to me. Though I can't remember any of her mixed facts from back then, an example she may or may not have said would go something like this...I would say, "Hey Megan, there's a Preying Mantis"...to which she would respond, "Oh cool! Do you know the female bites off the heads of the male when they have sex?" (which is true) to which I would say, "wow, glad I'm not a preying mantis." Then she would follow it up with something like, "yeah, if you get bit by a preying mantis, it is more deadly than a black widow bite."

She also, always kept things lively as I remember her. Once, I was working in our yard, when Megan, about 6 or 7, Amele' about 5 or 6 and a couple other friends, I can't remember who, were playing truth or dare. Amele' chose dare and Megan said, "I DARE you to FRENCH kiss the wooden fence." I thought, "yeah right, like a Amele' knows what THAT is." Amele' went straight over to the fence and stuck her tongue in a knothole....that is when I went, "Ah, now I see why Cherie was so upset when she 'kissed the boy next door...it WASN'T just a peck on the cheek!" We also have VHS of Megan, Amele', Ashley, Paige and a few others putting balloons in their shirts and prancing around acting like "big girls" at Amele's 8th birthday party (my bet is it was Megan's idea). It gave Kim and I a good laugh as we perused the videos of Amele' looking for shots of Megan.

Now, as I walk my yard, I see "The Jolly's" house across the street. I still think of it through my daughter's eyes with the often asked question "can I go to Megan's?", though they have been gone as long as they were there. Though Megan is no longer generally "there", her giving of observations of life and "facts" of life as she saw them is still with me, and her life will always remain a part of mine.

Rest in Peace Megan.

I didn't wish to believe that you were gone... You were my angel in times of need...and one of my best friends. You shall be missed...until one day when we're reunited. Then, we'll sit and chat for hours in the halls of Heaven. I love you, Megan. Rest in peace. Sweet dreams.

Cherie & Mike, we remember when we first met your sweet Megan...babe in arms you brought her for a visit to the house in Gunnison. And the next thing we knew she was all grown up and a lovely young woman, like her Mom was when we first met her. So glad we had time to get to know her a bit with our visits in Arizona and here in Colorado. Our love and thoughts surround you all this day. Barb and Michael (Cortez, CO)

It saddens me to see you go so soon... But I know that you are in a better place now and know that God had a better plan for you. I will forever remember the times that we shared together. I know that you will smile down on all of us and know that you were loved and that you will be forever missed...
