I remember Megan when I'd go to my Aunt Jane & Uncle Bob's house to play with my cousins when I was small & Kevin & Megan were over. She was so adorable then & from what I heard, grew up to be a wonderful person. I wish I would of had the chance to know her. I do know for sure she is with my Uncle Bob Gorz in heaven whom I miss dearly. My heart goes out to Aunt Pat, Uncle Jack, Kevin, her husband & son Jacob. I will keep Megan & her family in my prayers.

I still think of Megan as that little girl with the blonde curly hair and those big beautiful eyes. I remember her first birthday like it was yesterday. Megan in her blue dress. She was the baby on the Gorz family and we loved playing with her at holiday parties. I remember her always smiling. And that is how I will forever remember her. Smiling. We will miss you Megan.

Megan was a great person to be around. Always happy and willing to help anyone that needed it. Always put others first before her! "We will never forget you Megan! " "I Love you!"

As the older cousin, I often babysat for Kevin and Megan. One time I hit her dad's car on the fire hydrant next to the driveway, and Megan - then about 4 years old - offered to give me her piggy bank to pay to have it fixed. She was generous in spirit way back then, and as she grew up, she extended that generosity to all the dogs and cats that she adopted. Later - and most of all - she was an amazing generous loving mom to Jacob. We'll miss you Megan.

Megan was a great sister-in-law and friend to me. I will miss our talks about our boys and watching Cash Cab together. God Bless.
