So very sad to hear this. I saw the broadcast on channel 7. She sounded like an incredible young woman. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.

I keep hearing that insurance commercial in my head - every year X teenagers go out for a drive and don't come back.

Such sad news

My prayers are with the Smith family and friends of Meghan.

I cannot imagine any greater pain than that which they must be feeling.

If you knew Meghan you knew a beautiful young woman. She always had a smile on her face. She volunteered for Adopt A Dog many times. She was always ready to go the extra mile. Such a tragic loss of life. I know anyone that knew her, will miss her immensly.

PLEASE Pray for all families concerned.........I cannot even begin to imagine what they are going thru...blessings on each and every one.

Thoughts and prayers for the Smiths. Saw this on the news tonight.

My prayers and thoughts go out to all the families involved in this tragic accident.

I'm sending my thoughts and prayers as well - so very sad for all.

Sorry for your loss. Truly sad.

The service today reminded me why I love this little community. So many people showed up to show support and love to Meghan and her family. Here is a little excerpt from her funeral from Meghan. We can all learn from this.

...What I am getting at, is basically: we always
put things off.
"Oh, I am gonna go skydiving one day"
"I want to travel to Europe when I get older"

But let's face it, we really don't have all the time
in the world.
We count down the days until summer and etc..

But the days that pass are just one less day to
fulfill our dreams.

So, Live everyday to its fullest and take life head on.

I agree it was a truly beautiful service. Meghan would have been so pleased to see all her friends and family. I do hope that the young listened very carefully to the coach and to Chelsea. My thoughts and prayers are with the Smith family.

It was a beautiful service and very moving. I was proud of all the young people there. My high school girl is staying close to us tonight. Maybe we'll never let her out of the house. Coach Barron got the right message across very well, and perhaps it will make a difference in someone's decision making process in the future. Chelsea is a jewel.
