8 Seconds....  / Am (Friends*)

Meg:

I just really never know how to start these things off except by saying how much I miss your bubly face and laughter!!! I could use one of your big hugs right now and your bright shining smile!!! It has been so long and I think about you every day! I just remember the times you used to come and play at our house and Heather was so mean and wouldn't let me play but you would...you were the only friend that would let the "little sister" join in on the big girl fun!! I remember my dad always loving how shiny your hair was and even when you moved back he was still amazed that it was so beautiful...especially when you showed him the pink in it...hah...good times!!! I was so happy when  you moved back to finish your senior year during my junior year...that was the best of them all becuase you were there...you made life so much fun Meg. I loved skipping class with you becuase it was always an adventure no matter what we were doing...jaming in the suburban to Martina McBrides song, random drives,skipping class to take buloga down the "bumby road" or just laying in your bed watching 8 seconds over and over...talking about our weddings and how you wanted yours to be just like Lane and Kellys...I'm so sad you weren't able to make it there...I guess the lord had other plans for you but its just not fair....there have been so many times over the past four years Meg that I have needed you! Espically last summer when Grandma Hathaway passed...I felt at ease that she was going to heaven to be with my pop, my auntie barbara, and you!! I knew you would welcome her with open arms and show her the ropes...ha...but I could of used you here on earth to tell me it would be okay and give me a hug and just cry with me....When I moved in November I could have really used you to relieve some stress and help with packing...haha...no no...I just wish you could come out and visit me and we could go to the beach and hang out....I miss you Ms. Megan and will everyday until I see you again! I'm so happy that I was able to be a part of your life and that you were in mine!! You changed my way of thinking on life and because of you I have a positive attitude!!! You were a special girl who tocuch many people during your short time here...I'll never forget you Meg and look forward to the day I'll see you again!!!

Sorry it took so long.  / Kevin Burke (Brother)
So I've been looking at this website probably every other day since the moment I found out about it, and I have yet to leave any sort of message for you. Mainly because I didn't want to accept it. Much like I still don't. But I just finished spending the week with your mom and brother and "scootch", and now I'm finally ready to accept it. Sitting around reminiscing about being kids and how you would force me to play marry you and you'd force david to marry my sister. It really just kicked in this week. I'm out in Texas now, and you better damn well believe your legacy is very well known to everyone out there. Everytime I'm asked about family, it's always 2 sisters and a brother, without even thinking twice. You have played such a major role in the person I am today, and that will never change. I see so much of you in Kohl. His infectious smile and personality and pure love for life is all you. I wish you were here. I have so much I want and need to say, but I just can't find the right way to. I love you meg. I am a much better person for having known you. You are forever in my heart. Keep looking down on us and keeping us safe.
I love you so much. Always and forever!!!!

MEG!! / Cortney Clark (friend)
Meg!! i was just thinking about you today!  i have been meanign to get on here more but i haven't.  i am constantly reminded of you and Jen.  You were a good friend to me and could always make me smile even when times were rough.

Loving You!!!  / Meghan Burke (Sister)
Megs, 

I just spent the holiday with your Mom and Scott and it was wonderful.  When they are around I feel you spirit and your presence all the more.  It helps me to realize that you are and will always be with us.  It also brought back so many wonderful memories.  You will always be my sister and our holidays were like no other. It was such a blessing to be around your Mom especially.  You and her were like 2 peas in a pod; and it was great to feel that "energy" again.  Kohl was smitten with both your Mom and Scott (or as he referred to him "Scootch").  I want you to know that you will always have a profound impact on my life.  You were there for me too many times to count and  I see more and more each day how wonderful and a person you were and what a better place this world would be if there were more of you here.  I miss you terribly and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you.  I am so grateful to have had you in my life as long as I did.  Keep smiling down on us.  I know you are, I can see your work being done.  I'm so very happy for you Dad, and I know with out any doubts that you played a part in that.  I miss you Megs.  And I love you, can't wait to see your smiling face and embrace you with open arms that never have to let go.  Love Always-Your sister......Meghan Close

miss you  / Candace
So this is my first time being able to write to you since you have past. I have lit many candles for you but realized I can't say what I want in the messages. 
When you passed, I realized I lost a great friend. You were always there when I needed someone to talk to and you never made me feel insecure. 
I guess I am writing to tell you I miss you and hope you are still looking down on me because I appreciate your friendship and miss you tons!

Just for you!!!  / Amber (Friends Foreva )

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life

just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh

until you can't stop;

Someone who makes you believe

that there really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you

that there really is an unlocked door

just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

Meg, I saw this poem and it made me think of you!! I miss you and love you so much...you were that special friend that came into my life and changed it, in such good ways!! You always made me laugh so hard!!! Especially when you would drive my car around and down the hill and we would never know if we were going to slide into traffic or stop before we got to the highway!! Oh man Miss Meg...i miss you so much!! I hope you are doing well!! I wish i could see you again, but you are in such a better and beautiful place i'm sure!! Keep watching over everyone!!!
Love ya,
Am

It's one of those days....  / Meghan Burke (Sister)

Megs:

So I'm sitting her at work just looking at your site, and the song "Photograph" comes on and everytime I hear that song I think of you, of all of memories, all of our "goofy" photographs. I know that you have your ways of letting me know that you're still here w/ me...that was one of them.  There are other times I feel like that, and I smile cause I know that you're still up to something....you always were....I love it.

I miss you so much that it overwhelms me sometimes.  I think of all the people to loose-- why you?  Why my sister? And then I kick myself for being selfish, for questioning our Heavenly Fathers plan. It's so hard here without you, without that AMAZING energy that you had.  

I wish you were here to see how much Kohl has grown up.  He's got the same energy, the kind you had.  The kind of energy that fills a room when that person walks in.  I know that you have something to do w/ that. (You want to keep me on my toes!! :)...) I look at him and I am sad that he didn't get to have more time with you, to know what a wonderful Aunt he had.  He knows now because I tell him and I will continue to tell him about his beautiful Aunt Megan.  

I miss you, I miss your hugs, your laughter. Your singing and your smile.  But these are things I will never forget, I will carry these w/ me always until the day comes that I can see you again. 

I pray for you, for your Mom and Scott, for your Dad, for David.  I pray for all of the lives you touched as I know their loss is my loss.  And they've had days like these to.  Tomorrow will be different, it's a new day.  Just had to let some of this out...I'll be better tomorrow......just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming!!! 

I love you MEGS... always.  Your forever sister, Meghan

*Thinking of You*  / Sarah Taylor (Friend)
Sometimes, my memories of you catch me off guard and after I remember you and smile, the grieving process begins all over. I wish you were here to make me laugh again, but you will always be in my heart. I miss you, Megs, and I will always love you.  Close

Your smile is forever in my heart  / Scott Brucker (Step Dad )
It has been a long 18 and half months since you left us. Everyday I wait for your phone call, everyday I wish for the what if and what could have been. You still have not left my heart nor will you ever. When the phone rings I still hope that you are on the other end telling me that you will be home soon, it's all a mistake, it's not real.

Each day I say my prayers for you, David, your mother and father. There are so many people that you have touched it will take a lifetime to tell them all how much your memory means to us all.

Your memorial brick is in place, your bench has been up for sometime and your tree is growing strong. You have no idea what i would trade to have you back spreading your love and smiling. Wow, what a smile!

To Megan's friends: Thank you for keeping a very special persons memory alive. I take comfort in reading often.

Merry Christmas Megan. I will await your call like every other day, wishing for what could have been and celebrating life for who you are to each of us... Close

Everything's ok : )  / Jennifer Kay (BFFooorreevverrrrrrr)
Megan, Hi! I haven't been on this website in sometime. I forgot how beautiful we made it look! Nice place for your friends to come and give their condolences...Megan, I know everything is going to be ok. I know that it's partially been settled...Nobody's ever going to forget that sweet sweet face, and beautiful smile, but at the same time everything has to happen for some kind of reason, right now we don't know what that reason is, but I'm sure you have something in store for you, for all of us. Everything is so different, you would love it! Your dad is doing  well, I'm actually enjoying school this year, Caitlin is having a little boy soon...It's slowly coming together. I know what I need to do, and what I need to get done. I so wish you were here with us, everyone does. You were obviously needed somewhere else-to do something else, and we'll someday share that same experience together..right now, I just think of the angels on my shoulder, everyday! We're all so blessed!  You have such a beautiful soul and I miss you so bad. I love you with everything! Everyone else-thank you! She would give up anything to be here with us today. Thanks!  Luv ya Suga' Close

Love you  / Tyler McNeil (Friend)

As time goes by...  / Lyndsay Lou (Funk) (Best Buds )
Meg...Hi sweetie. I'm thinkin so much about you today. The other night, I was eating dinner with my family and my mom saved some mashed potatoes for you. We all smiled and felt at ease. But more than anything,...sometimes it doesn't feel right without you there with my family. Always keep me close and i will do the same for you. I know I will have many people come into my life...but just know that you will always be that one who saved me! I love you so much for that. You are truly a blessing to every person lucky enough to have met you. And your memories still live on strong....everyday. Until next time...I love and miss you.
Love,
Lyndsay Lou Close
