Megan was a brilliant writer and thinker, and her personality lit up the world. Rest easy, my dear Megan. I'll always remember you with the greatest respect and affection.
Very sorry for your loss. She was a sweet, fun loving person.
Hmmm - What can I say about Miss Megan is that I loved her smile and she was a little brat. She had a wicked tongue and always had to have the last word - even if that meant hanging up on me while we were talking on the phone and then posting her disagreement with me on Facebook. Another thing I can say about Megan is that she had a bubbly personality and was always giggling which is why I enjoyed being around her.
I was so proud of Megan that when she spent time in Dallas with me, I had to parade her around my office and brag about how she’s a reporter for The Boston Globe. My former coworkers “oohed” and “awed” about how beautiful Megan was and raved about her hair! Oh, she did love her dreads. One time, she was telling me that she was getting debilitating headaches so she went to the doctors and the doctor said cut your hair; and, she said with her giggling voice Aunt Stacey, “I am going to just have deal with these headaches because I am not cutting my dreads off.”
As a reporter for The Boston Globe, she reported on many incidents and trials. One trial, in particular, that Megan covered was the murder of Christa Worthington in which Megan appears in the “48 Hours” episode “Murder on the Cape.”
Megan was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I flew to Boston to go with her to her doctor’s appointment. During this visit, we went to Boston to shop for, you guessed it, shoes. Megan loved her shoes. While we were walking around downtown Boston, I saw the DSW store and I said “OMG” Megan, there’s a Dallas Shoe Warehouse here in Boston and she giggled, “Aunt Stacey - it’s Designer Shoe Warehouse not Dallas Shoe Warehouse.” I never knew DSW was called Designer Shoe Warehouse. Thank you Megan for schooling me.
Megan turned me onto turquoise jewelry - she loved turquoise jewelry. We went shopping at TJMAXX on North Central Expressway for guess what “shoes!” And we when we walked by the jewelry counter, Megan saw the display of turquoise jewelry and got so excited. We saw this turquoise ring that we both wanted and she said, “Aunt Stacey you should get it.” So I bought the ring and we both bought matching turquoise necklaces. Till this day, I collect turquoise jewelry because it reminds me of you - Megan.
Even though Megan was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), she persevered through her struggle. During my visits with Megan, she was such a gracious hostess. She made sure that I had fried calms and authentic Chinese food during my visits with her in Boston. She was loving dog mom to her pug “Tara”; and, she recently purchased a Peloton so she could exercise to ensure she maintained the usage in her legs because Megan was always afraid that she was going to lose the usage of her legs because of MS.
After Adam died, Megan was drowning in a depth of despair. She recently said that she was grieving really hard. When Adam died, she had lost a little of her spark but she kept trying to a have good life and to accept that Adam “her younger brother, her best friend” has died. Miss Megan, you are now at peace and I bet that you are now spending your eternity walking hand-in-hand with the one you truly love Adam.
Well Miss Megan, I will miss our “intense” talks, hearing you say “Aunt Stacey”, I will miss hearing you giggling; and, I will definitely miss your smile.
I Love Your Smile.
I love you, I love you, I love you - Bye.
