Meg was a great friend, sincere, very helpful, amazing hiker companion and her faith in God was always present in her life. I was blessed to have her as my friend. May God keep her in His glory.
I knew Meg for 60+ years, we shared walks/hikes, ice creams, concerts, and conversation. She was kind generous and full of energy, someone who deeply cared about the world and its beauty.

Meg, I so very appreciate your kindness and warm smile.
My garden club friend for 25 years. Always kind and cheerful. I will miss your loving spirit.
Sorry to hear about your loss. You and Meg had many wonderful years together and it was a blessing she came into your life. I m heart broken . May God give you peace and strength during this most difficult time in life. My thoughts and prayers are with both families.
Meg was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. It has been a few years since I have seen her but I have many happy memories of time spent with her and her family. She had an innocence about her that is rarely seen these days and was kind and gracious to everyone always. She will be greatly missed and always cherished. Condolences to her husband Elwood and her friends.
