I just heard of Megan's passing and am saddened beyond words. I work at Milford Regional and only knew her from my visits to her office with our publications and brochures, but she always had a smile on her face. May she rest in peace and may God bless her husband and family.

I am extremely saddened to hear of Megan's passing. I would enjoy talking with her when calling on Tri-County ENT in Milford. She never complained, or wanted pity. She was witty, funny, and a joy to know. Rest in Peace my friend...

She brought so much class to our group and we all were so elated for her trip with Jason that sadly didn't come to be. She kept a cool head in the group and helped all of us see value in each day and in each other. She will be missed but I promise you, she will always be remembered with love.
