So many memories from so many years. Megan was my 2nd cousin and our single mothers (at the time) vacationed together at Mammoser's Resort on Eau Claire Lake - Megan and I got "Duck Itch" from the lake. We spent many Christmases together with our families doing the "traveling" Christmas going from house to house for different courses of the meal. All the relatives in the Superior/Duluth area gathered and enjoyed each other and their time together...many of them gone now. Megan was one of the earths good people and will be missed - go with God.

Megan was always in inspiration to me - warm, funny and so talented in the arts as well as in her work. Megan always could hold forth on interesting topics from politics to cooking. I cherish having known her and am thankful for the memories. I and my husband will keep her and all her loved ones in my prayers at this time of loss with special condolences to those still at SPD and to Mark.

I knew Megan from her volunteering with our neighborhood association, and she gave much of her time to make Madison a better place to live. I am so saddened by the news of her passing.

Megan was a wonderful part of social activities in Stoughton and a great addition to our Stoughton book club. Her suggestions for reading, as well as her sense of humor, were a highlight of the group! Henri and I were fortunate to have been able to connect with her and Mark this spring for a tour of Stoughton's bar/restaurants as well as the Village Players Syttende Mai play. It was so good to know how strong Mark's friendship remained as he helped her enjoy her life near its end. Her courage was an inspiration. Rest in peace, Megan!
