Megan was the first friend I made when I moved to Calgary eight years ago. I knew from the moment we met that it was the start of a lovely friendship. She was kind, pure-hearted, thoughtful, and gracious – everything you look for in a friend. No matter the troubles that plagued her, she always kept a smile on her face. She was a strong young woman, resilient and courageous. She never allowed a bad day to get her down.

Megan’s biggest dream had always been to become a mother. When that dream came true in December 2022 with the arrival of sweet baby Zoey, she flourished like never before. Despite countless sleepless nights, her tired eyes twinkled every time they rested upon her daughter’s precious little face. She was endlessly patient and entirely committed to giving Zoey the absolute best of herself. I had never seen her so confident and empowered. The love she had for her daughter was unwavering.

I may have children of my own one day. And if I do, during those difficult moments that are sure to arise, I’ll think of my dear friend Megan. I’ll think of her exemplary strength in the face of adversity, and the fearlessness she embodied.

I love you, pal. Until next time.

I'm so heartbroken over the loss of Megan. What an absolutely beautiful human to have the privilege of knowing!  I was recently re-acquainted with Megan and I felt so honoured that she still called me “Auntie” and introduced me as such to the hospital staff.  We re-connected under such unusual and negative circumstances and yet, just speaking with her, I instantly felt her warmth and light shine through.

She was so positive & genuine. When I first walked into her room, I thought it might be awkward but she welcomed me with open arms and we picked up like 2 old friends. The FHMC volunteer was there and asked her what song she would belt out if she were alone in her car, we would use that one as the sing-along for her music therapy; dhe welcomed me in and I was thrilled when she picked the Eurythmics “Here comes the rain again”.  So, we sang together. What a great way to re-connect with someone! I will cherish this memory forever. 

Having had the opportunity to know her as a child and seeing what an amazing  woman she became was totally surreal. I was so impressed by her love for her daughter. She was so delighted to be home with Zoey, she was determined to be a stay-at-home mom and  it warmed my heart!! What gift she was to her family and to this world.  I will miss her beautiful smile, face & soul!

Time for you to fly.

It’s time for you to fly 🧚‍♀️🧚

You are truly missed. I’m so lucky that my little boy got to meet such an amazing person. He really enjoyed when he would go visit you and Zoey and I will never forget all the little things that you made for us for Christmas to make it very special for us. And your kindness that you showed me what I was going through hard times.
