Happy Birthday Meghan!

Today is our daughter Meghan's birthday. She passed away four years ago. She would have been 25 today. Steve and I took flowers to her grave this morning. It looked so beautiful and I remembered to bring my camera... I thought in honor of her today I would share some thoughts about her from some of her friends.
"She was an amazing person and left an example of kindness and faith to everyone she came in contact with."
"I loved her constant enthusiasm and happiness."
"She was truly a great friend and the love of our Savior radiated in her countenance."
"Meghan had an awesome knowledge of the Gospel, and taught me so much. Her scriptures were never far from her and neither was the Spirit."
"Meghan was an inspiration to me. She was one of the best people I have ever met. Every day as her roommate was the best day ever!"
"She was always a constant, caring, loving, energetic, full of fun and wonderful person. Every good thing that there is in this world, any Christlike attribute, I found it in Meghan."
I couldn't agree more...
Happy Birthday Meghan. I love you!

    I shouldn't have read that at work, as it made me so emotional. I desperately wish I could have met her. Happy birthday Meghan!

    I loved having Meghan as a roommate! She was always so happy, always spreading joy and laughter! We laughed constantly, and to this day when we get together as roommates (from Snow Hall) there are always Meghan memories in the mix. I have been changed for the better because I knew her. Love her! Happy Birthday, Meghan! :)

    This is a little late (I don't blog much), but I was thinking of Meghan, too! I sure miss her, but I'm so grateful for the memories! She reminds me to be cheerful and upbeat, even in the hard times! She was the best of friends, ever, and I'm so grateful to have been her roommate! Go 406! I miss you Megahn, and I hope you had the best birthday ever!
