I am so sorry to here about the passing Megan. Even though I never met her personally I felt like she was a dear friend. I spoke with her on many occasions. She was the person I knew who could help me with any problem I was having. She was always ready and willing to get the job done. I will miss her cheerful voice when she answered the phone "Hello this is Megan". My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. May you feel the love of our Savior in this time of sorrow.
A Fleetcor friend,

The last time I visited with Megan was the Thanksgiving before last at the holiday get together at our friend, Richard's house. After dinner that evening, as usual, she was ready to take control of cleaning up the dishes etc., as well as fixing left overs for people to take home. She had a very kind and helpful way of getting things done. Of the several times I had the pleasure of speaking and visiting with Megan over the years, I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face and a kind word say. She will be sorely missed. The Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. You know her spirit got a new body in Heaven. A body with no pain or suffering of any kind. Lord, thank you for your love and mercy. GOD bless us all.

I did not know Megan for very long, but in the time I worked with her she always had a smile on her face and a kind word to share. From her laugh to her randomly dancing down the isle of desks, she had a light that will be sorely missed. I am so, so sorry and my heart breaks for her loved ones.

Our faith informs us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and, that we will one day see our loved ones again in heaven. My prayer for Megan's family is that they find comfort in this knowledge. Megan was not just good; she was kind, and she is definitely now walking among the angels - giggling and carrying a really nice purse!

Thank you for sharing Megan with us. She is loved and will be sorely missed.

See you later, Pookie-Doo!

There are no words of comfort to take away your pain. There will always be an empty place in your lives. Megan was always so sweet. I've known her since elementary/middle school. I know that God will be by your side to help you through this. It will never stop hurting because you loved her so much, but it will get easier as time goes on because you learn how to deal with things. Emily, please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or dad.

Megan, oh my friend of over 10 years, how I will miss your calls and laughter. We rode to work together at First Data and worked side by side for a while in the training room as we started the job together. Your love for Jody was very present and you glowed when you spoke of him. You always spoke of the love you had for your family and your nephew was your biggest joy. We just spoke a few weeks ago and you never complained. I'll miss you my friend but never forget you. May your wings allow you to sore high as your love carried us all through the years.

Fly my friend fly!

Love Always,

To Megan's family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will miss my sweet and beautiful friend. Seeing her face and spunky personality at work everyday always kept me smiling. She talked so loving of everyone in her family. She was a beautiful friend that I will miss terribly. She was loved by many. My heart is hurting for her family. May God wrap his arms around you all tightly and walk you through this sadness. Much love and prayers to you! ❤
