I hate so much that this happened. My heart goes out to all of Meagan’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. I am so so sorry. I am praying for you all. May you rest peacefully, Meagan. We love you, girl.
Meagan was such a great girl… so kind and sweet. I’m glad I got to talk with her. I’m glad her parents made her a wonderful girl. I wish she was still here.
I never knew her that well but I’ve got to meet her and hang out with her maybe twice.
She was such a sweet person. She had a heart of gold and loved everyone. The world is a much darker place. Rest easy sweet girl. We miss you dearly.
I don’t know her that well but I used to go to school with her brother
I praying for the family for the sad times and she in a good place with our Lord and Savior

When I hired Meagan 7 years ago I learned we shared not only a birthday but also the same off key sense of humor. When she laughed hard she almost honked at you. I watched her grow into a beautiful young woman who not only served our country in the Navy but served her friends as well. She was a friend everyone could count on to be there for them. We shared the same faith in God so I know that one day we will meet again. Not sure if they allow skates on those streets of gold but I’m sure either way one day I’ll find you rolling around, we will make eye contact, and you will laugh and say ” they finally let you in”. Fly high sweet girl, look after us until we join you. We will look after your mom and siblings until you get to see them again.
I cant believe this has happend she didnt deserve any of this she was an amazing person. Shes gonna be missed dearly. And I feel so bad for her family. I couldn’t imagine loosing one of my kids. I want mrs. Julia to know that I’m here for her and I’ll always love her family. Meagan was a great part of my life and now life is gonna be empty without her around
Meagan, you were such an awesome person. I hate that this happened. You will be missed so much. The world is a darker place without you in it.

Dear Julia , I love you & I care about you I will pray for you and your family . I know you are broken hearted but I know by the post you make you are a child of God . He will get you through this day by day . One thing that helps me at times I think I just can’t make it today is one story of Daniel praying to God and God sends an angel down from heaven to give him a message and he has to get there before he ends his prayer so the angel travels quickly to get there . So I can believe that although it’s hard to imagine just where or how far heaven is Charles and all my loved ones are just a prayer away. It comforts me I hope it will you also
Megan’s life was short but from what I’ve read from friends of yalls she lived it to the fullest leaving great memories you can cherish . Love you guys , June Hitt Williams
I did not know your sweet daughter but I loved working with you at Baylor and I knew right away how proud you were of her and the love you had for her! My prayers are with you and I know she is flying high with all the angels in heaven. Love to you sweet Julia.
I never got to meet Megan but knowing her mother she had to be a wonderful women. My prayers for Julia and family. Fly high with the angels.
I will love you forever, until we meet again.
