My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your sweet little girl. I work at the Mosque Foundation, and I have 4 children who went through Kolb, but in different grades than your girls. I have such vivid memories of all the school programs and awards assemblies seeing your family always videotaping and beaming with pride over both of your girls. May God give you strength during such a difficult time, and I hope you find peace knowing that your talented little Megan is in Heaven now.

We are not sure what to say or do for you, however we are thinking and praying for you daily. We are here for you, whenever you need. Try to remember that when a child departs us we need to try and realize God loves children and Angels are hard to find.
We leave you with this prayer
Guardian Angel from heaven so bright,
Watching beside me to lead me aright,
Fold thy wings round me, and guard me with love,
Softly sing songs to me of heaven above.
We love and miss you Megan!

Carlo Caprio

Dear Hurckes Family:

I'm not sure if I've ever met Megan or Jenna, but I do remember meeting Jerry and Mary Ann briefly. However, I do feel like I know your family through my God Daughter (Madi Geraghty) and my sister (Shelly Geraghty). I've been on the phone with them from Germany ever since the news trickled down. Being a former elementary school teacher I can imagine Megan's glow, and how she will be missed. It's hard for us to comprehend God's plan when He calls us before our time or out of the natural order in life. May your faith bring you some peace. My heart goes out to all of Megan's family and friends.

My prayers are with you all in the Hurckes and Cacciottolo family. May God hold you tight today and help you be strong for Megan.
The true peace of God begins at any spot a thousand miles from the nearest land. You have come from God, you are a spark of His Glory, you are a wave of that Ocean of Bliss, you will get peace only when again merge in Him. May your daughter Megan be at peace with God and may the family hold her deep in their hearts forever. A child is a gift to us and to love them is the best gift we can give, so love her in remembrance for today and forever.

Dear Jerry /Maryann our prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family in these tough times
