I remember Megan as another freshman (woman!) on 4th Myers. Many of us loved to bake to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions. For Megan's birthday I made her a plain custard pie. She loved it so much I think she ate the whole pie herself! She was so intelligent and fun. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her death. For me she will be forever a grinning, lovely 18-year-old.
