She enjoyed music and was a loyal supporter of the Thayer Symphony. She enjoyed traveling. She loved animals, especially her cats. She was a big Red Sox fan, but an even bigger Bruins fan. She was always up to date on current events and loved to go out to lunch. She was a wonderful influence on all her family and friends.

Brian’s Message to His Grandmother My Grammy was the best and will always be the best. Meg is gone but memories will stay with me forever. Gram went through a lot and had to endure a lot. She hung her head high and never complained. She was someone you could always count on no matter what the occasion was. Our Grammy was well loved and will be missed. The one thing I love about Gram is she is the one who inspired me to become a New York Fire Fighter. But now she is with Doug and Grampy where she is happy. She would not want us to mourn her death but to celebrate her life!
