Coach Mendez, Our family is just sickened by the death of Megan. We know all too well how y’all are feeling. We buried our youngest son 13 yrs ago. Sadly, it never gets better, just different! Your peace is that she’s with her Heavenly Father now. We sincerely send our thoughts and prayers to you, Zoe and The Edwards Family
Dear Joseph, Linda, Yolanda, Raymond, I am so sorry for Megan’s loss to all of you. She was so beautiful & such an angel to your family. My prayers are with you all. Warm Hugs, Roberta
Dear Linda and Joseph. I am heartbroken over the loss of your daughter, Megan. I know her spirit will live on through your family. The grace and faith you both demonstrated at the hospital was remarkable. Your family will always be in my prayers. With love from, Kristin – volunteer.
May God’s peace comfort all of you during this time of great loss and sadness. Through the years, Megan and our daughter Jennifer played CYO volleyball together, graduated from the same class at NBHS and saw each other at UT – we even saw Megan at her UT ring ceremony. We are so very sorry that Megan has already been called to her heavenly home, and know that you will miss her deeply. May God continue to hold all of you in His loving arms.
Loved seeing her at the pharmacy. A beautiful young woman. My heart is so very sad for each of you. My deepest sympathies on your great loss.
We are completely saddened to hear about Megan and know there are no words at a time like this. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers and just hope that you can find comfort through the Grace of God, and eventually some peace with the help of your faith in the Lord.
So very sorry for your loss. I know that words can not even begin to ease the pain y’all are dealing with, but know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that time will heighten only the happy memories and good times y’all have shared.
Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Megan, she seemed incredible and beautiful. Our hearts and prayers are with you and the family; no parent should ever have to go through the loss of a child. We pray for you today and always.
My deepest sympathy to you in the earthly loss of Megan. May God grant you peace in this time of upheaval and give you strength to tell her legacy. She will always be fondly remembered. Steve, Jana, Madeleine and Matthew Moss
