There is a wild wisdom at the heart of the universe.

It was Megan's desire that there be no formal funeral service.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Gold Rush Cure Foundation (goldrushcurefoundation.org) an organization started by one of our cousins following the death of her child from cancer.

Megan lived in many places and had a multitude of dear friends. This website has been created to provide a space for friends and family to post their favorite memories and to allow an opportunity for personal completion.  We already know we are in your thoughts and prayers.  Please use this site to share your experiences and favorite memories of Megan.   If you wish, meet with family or friends in your area to share your experiences of Megan...maybe wear something purple (her favorite color) and post a photo of your gathering on this site.

Thank you from the children of Megan.

Memorial Tributes
Candle lit by Chris vickery on 7th February 2012

"Megan and I went to a lot of plays when she was here, and we always called each other every day.  We would ask "who's driving today?" and we had so much fun.  I missed her when she moved to Mississippi, but me and my daughter did see her once in Tupelo.  She is still my best friend, because I put her name in my Millennium Bank e-mail!!"

"I will miss Megan. Even though I did not know her for long; I learned a lot from her gentleness,her non-hesitency to encourage others, and her constant smile (even when she was not feeling so great herself) and she always joined in the group activities whether for a lively discussion or lunch or a movie...whatever. We lit a candle today and will never ever forget her."

"I think the recent solar disturbances were cause by you passing by the sun.  Thank you for the many gifts.  You had many different roles in my life.  I cherish them all.  One Christmas you received a silver bell and put it on our tree.  I told you I had lost one from my grandparents.  You instantly gave it to me.  Knowing you has made me a better man.  You were radiant.  Love you always."
