I’m so sorry for your loss. Meg was truly a remarkable person and has had an immeasurable positive impact on the lives of so many.

While I was never a big fan of school, I always looked forward to time in the library. It was a friendly space where I could explore anything, and the enthusiasm for learning and the outdoors was contagious.

I was extremely lucky to know Meg outside of school as well. To this day I remember and cherish memories of hiking at Ramapo Reserve with Meg and Caper. I’m still an avid hiker, finding lots of peace and meaning, thanks to that early positive experience. I remember birding at the Celery Farm, watching her patiently training her beloved German Shepards with kindness and playfulness. Feeding carrots to the horses that used to live around the corner from her Wyckoff home. So many happy memories and important experiences.

Thank you for everything, Meg.

What can you say about a woman who introduced all three of your children to the delightful Max and Ruby series, to the whimsical “Let’s Go Swimming with Mr. Sillypants”, and to the irreverently witty “You Are Pigs”, instilling in them an everlasting love of literature? What can you say about a woman who yearly transformed her impeccably decorated home into a frightening Halloween horror scape featuring cauldrons of dry ice and costumed family members (ghastly Aunt Tilly was a fan favorite), in order to enchant area youngsters? What can you say about a woman who met you on the windy backstreets of Wyckoff at 5:30 am (braving each and every element), and lovingly supported you through the tragic deaths of both of your parents?

You can say that you love her and miss her terribly. You can add that you are eternally grateful to have known her.

We are so very sorry for your loss. All our love,
