A friend I know in real life and on twitter just mentioned her death, and a chill went down my spine, too. It's not just that I'm reminded that just about anyone's life could get cut short by a car accident, it's that I'll miss what she could have contributed to my friend's life, and indirectly contributed to mine. I also can't help but think I might have got a chance to enjoy her creative work and insights myself, as it was being created (I enjoyed the video that was embedded in this post).<br><br>In my experience, the most common thing that happens when people disappear from the social network scene is that they come back. I'm really starting to believe that social networking is transforming society. I noticed the same happened with me.

How Meg was viewed online says a lot about how you must have brought her up, and I'm sure everyone's thoughts are with you and your family. She was certainly a well-loved character and I'm sure she was as proud of you as you are of her.

My sincerest warmest wishes to you.

I want to thank you for taking the time to do this very sweet tribute to my precious daughter. I also want to thank all the nice people that commented so tenderly about Megan. She was our only child, still lived at home, and with every second that goes by, it gets harder to know that she won't be coming home......we are heartbroken and miss her terribly. For those of you that have children, hug them often,tell them you love them even when they are mad at you....and, spend time with them, even if it's to just ask them how their day went....they will notice. Again, thank you all for being so kind......with genuine appreciation, Megan's Mom Danny, this is Meg's Mom.
