The world has been a brighter place full of love and rainbows because my cousin Meredith was in it. She came into our lives when she married my cousin Chuck, the soul mate and love of each others life. She has always been an inspiration to me through my life. She shared great stories with me about our family and when she lived in Sedona. Meredith had a great aura and beautiful heart full of love. Meredith loved all with all her heart. She loved my cousin Chuck and her family ferociously and protected all like we were her pride. You could never treat a family member with disrespect she would not take this lightly. Meredith was an advocate for many causes,family, human, elder, and animals.
I was so blessed to spend time with her and Chuck in February. I will miss you very much, I know you will be with me in my heart and soul forever, you are my angel.
Love you very much
Patti

Chuck, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Meredith. She
was my best friend when I moved to Sedona in 1976. We shared such a deep friendship! The unconditional love she had for me and all her friends and family was amazing. We made rode trips together visiting her family in New Mexico and mine in Los Angeles. I will always remember her as my wonderful friend, I still have the gorgeous scrimshaw pendant she gave me for my 21st birthday. She will be greatly missed. I am so sorry!
Fondly, Tricia Garland, Sedona

I haven't seen Meredith for many years, but I remember her as if it was yesterday. We shared, along with many friends, years together in Europe and we were all better for that experience. My fond memory of Meredith will always be strong, and will always live on.

May the special memories of Meredith which you hold dear bring you comfort at this time. Meredith was a warm and loving person and, while I only knew her for a short time, she made me feel loved. I wish you peace at this difficult time Chuck.

Chuck, it was my privilege as a nurse to help you care for Meredith. I will be praying for your comfort and strength in these days. May the joy, the memories and love you shared keep her close in your heart always.

There are very few people who leave a lasting impression. Meredith was one of those people. We were best friends in junior high school and have remained close despite not having seen each other for over 20 years. Meredith had a twinkle in her eye that radiated from the love and kindness in her heart. I miss her and know she will be missed by all who knew her. I would like to extend my love and heartfelt sympathy to Tricia and Chuck and all her friends and family. Love, Debbie
