Let those who are close to you put their arms around you. Draw strength from your memories and talk, write, and sing about this beautiful friend. Meg loved you, too.
I’ve come here many times just to see Meg’s picture and try to understand why things like this happen. Lee, I wish I could hold you and somehow make things better. Treasure all the sweet memories you have of Meg for she will live in your heart forever.
