Megan's Name

Megan’s name and life from a grandpa’s point of view.

Merriment – that was our Megan; did you notice how many of those pictures have a smile? Her happy view of life flowed through her smile, her song and her skipping.

Energy – I’ve often said she never learned to walk. It seems she took off running, exploring, looking, trying, doing and finally at the end of the day collapse.

Godly – How can I say that about a 5 year old? That’s a term for old men, yet children have faith, too and that’s all God asks for. Megan believed that Jesus died for her sins and asked Him to be her savior. She was learning how to live for Him and was enthusiastic about it.

Angel – For several of her cousins that’s how they’ll think of her, for her dad & mom they might remember a small moment or two that wasn’t so angelic but for grandpa she was sent by God on a mission of love to my heart.

None other – Her death will leave a void that nothing or nobody will ever replace. Yet life will go on. God will give strength, grace, and courage; we are choosing to accept His will, trust His Word, and await the day when we will se Jesus face to face. It will be great to see Megan running down the streets of glory, hair flying and saying “Poppy Larry”!

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those to sleep in Jesus. I Thessalonians 4:14
