Megan Lynn Allen

It is always so sad to see another dear child taken and always my heart cries . . . why?  I adore Megan's pictures!  I get the feeling she took some of them herself . . . they are enchanting.  I am so sorry for you - left to carry on in this empty world.  Eternity is not that far away for any of us and Praise God - it lasts forever.  Then you take this precious child in your arms and never let her go. 

Megan,
We miss you so very much.  It's still hard to believe you're gone.  You would have been 21 today.  Wish you were here to celebrate.  But you are enjoying the greatest celebration of all in heaven and we'll all be with you again one day.  Keep shining down upon your mom.  She needs you so much.  We love you!

"The light of a distant star continues to reach the earth long after the star itself is gone".  Megan's light and love will continue to shine and live in our hearts forever.  Happy Birthday, precious niece.  I love you. 

this is what i wrote in my journal...i miss you Meg  / Leah Seamans (very good friend )

 

Today...your favorite day...we had such plans for today

We've been planning since we were in high school...
Planning since before high school...
Planning for such a long time it seems
Me, You, Your mom, and a few other friends

It's been 4 months...4 months since you left us...and longer since I've seen your smiling face

I can't pick up the phone and press 9 anymore, expecting to reach you...

I can't call you when i go home and see if you want to go driving around the parish...

oh God...the things we did when driving around...
--throwing condoms at random people
--going out to Ghost Bridge
--walking around old cemetaries, just talking and taking random pictures of tombstones

And tomorrow...I don't know if I'll be able to stand it...you should be here right now...

you should be here, with me and your mom...only we'd be in New Orleans, celebrating your favorite holiday...celebrating Mardi Gras, and tomorrow, when you would have turned 21, we would have had a few drinks and had some fun

bringing home bags full of beads to commemorate your 21st

but right now...the words are blurring...the tears are falling...and no matter what i say, you can't come back

Don't have too much fun up in Heaven Megan...Save some partying for us, for when we get to see you again

i'll see you again one day Meg, and then the party can really start

meganwe are so sorry for your being taken from your family way to soon- no words can ease the pain-no one can ever take your place- no one will ever fill your space. keep those angel wings around your mom and family. so beautiful so full of life. you were so very much loved- and we as the family of morgan ashley piatt- taken from us on 10-8-05, no one nor nothing can stop or help the pain we are all in for now- my brother raised morgan on his own since she was 4 - her mother left her for a man with money- so my mom and i  helped withall the mother things she needed- we miss her just as your family is missing you - its all the why's why ours- youkeep dancing with morgan- give her a hug- let your mom know you are still with her every day- from one hurting family to another. morgan piatt- aunt kathy 

Here on earth we are put together in families. Our loved ones become inexpressibly precious to us. We live in intimate associations. One gets so close to mother and father, wife or husband, sons and daughters, that they literally become a part of one's very life. Then comes a day when a strange change comes over one that we love. He is transformed before our very eyes. The light of life goes out for him. He cannot speak to us nor we to him. He is gone and we are left stunned and heartbroken. An emptiness and loneliness comes into our hearts. We brokenheartedly say "That the one whom I loved is dead." It is such a cold, hopeless thing to realize. Then, out of the very depths of our despair, comes that marvelous declaration of our Lord: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11: 25,26

Then we know! We know we have not lost our loved ones who have died. We have just been separated, and as long as we live there will be an empty place left in our hearts. To some extent, the loneliness will always be there. But when we really know that one is not forever lost, it does seem to take away, a little bit, of the sorrow. There is a vast difference between precious memories, loneliness, the pain of separation, on the one hand, and a sorrow that ruins and blights our lives, on the other hand.

Hope these words are of comfort to you my friends. Please, please know that you are always on my mind and in my heart and prayers. My hands are not better yet, in fact the left one is very numb right now, so it is hard to type. But even though I can't write every day as I did before, I think of you every day. In Christian Love, Melissa

Not now, but in the coming years, it may be in the better land: we'll read the meaning of our tears, and there, some time, we'll understand

This weekend is the Mardi Gras Parade in Monroe. Gosh I use to dread  going to that thing every year with you.  I really didn't want to go last year, but like always,  you talked me into it.  It was so cold, but we had a blast! I think we had the most fun last year of all the years.  I had no idea at the time that it would be our last one together.  I don't think I'll ever go again. As much as I dreaded going to those parades, I'd give anything to be going again with you this year. You'd never hear me complain again. All I've got are the memories.  But what some memories!  We really had some great times together. And when my work here is through I'll see you again.  I love you.

"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY MEGAN"  / Johnette Moninger Angels-Joseph D, Colt P, Toby M, Madison F, Mary B (New Friend )


You are precious
and glorious
in God's sight.
May His love
be with you and
your family
throughout
each and every day
of the year.

"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY"

Valentines message to Megan from her mother, Karen

 

This valentine is not of the ordinary kind
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love
You see its destination is the Heavens above

Its not being sent to my parents so dear
For they are still with me each day of the year
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon

The message is the same as your valentine
"I love you"...my sweet precious child of mine
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you

I know you are with me each and every day
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say
For that is the one thing that death cannot do
You'll always be a part of me...and me a part of you...
 
I know you are in the best of care
But its so hard for us left on earth to bear
Could you put in a request from us left behind
For God to send the knowledge..so an answer we can find

So that no other family has to go through this pain
Our lives without you will never be the same
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night
 And see you shining down your big bright night light

Happy Valentines day sunshine...I miss you so much
I know you know how many lives you have touched
You'll always be mine...I love you with all my heart
I know we'll be together again..and then we'll never part
 
So you see the meaning is still the same
The method of delivery is the only change
Mine must be sent by a little white dove
On the wings of love.....

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 2006  

A CONSOLATION VALENTINE MEDITATION

ON THE WINGS OF DEATH AND SORROW,
GOD SENDS US NEW HOPE FOR TOMORROW.
AND IN HIS MERCY AND HIS GRACE,
HE GIVES US STRENGTH TO BRAVELY FACE
THE LONELY DAYS THAT STRETCH AHEAD.
AND KNOW THAT OUR CHILD IS NOT DEAD,
BUT ONLY SLEEPING AND OUT OF OUR SIGHT.
AND WE'LL MEET IN THAT LAND
WHERE THERE IS NO NIGHT.

Love is always bestowed as a gift --
freely, willingly, and without expectation....
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
~ Leo Buscaglia

The spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,

Because the Lord has anointed me to

Preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the broken-

hearted,… to comfort all who mourn,…

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

Instead of ashes, the oil of gladness

instead of mourning, and a garment of

Praise instead of a spirit of despair.

Isaiah 61: 1-3

God will heal our pain. He will heal you.

He will guide you as you reaffirm yourself

without your loved one in the new life

he has given you in Christ Jesus.

Dear friends, I am sorry for not visiting

Daily, as I have in the past. Please know

that I have not forgotten you or your loved

Ones. I am still having a lot of pain in my hands,

arms, and neck. I am to have surgery on my

Wrist March 13th. Maybe then I can type

again without my hands going numb.(wish it

was my heart that was numb) Again, please

know that you are always in my thoughts,

heart, and prayers. In Christian Love, Melissa.

"Life is eternal," the good Lord said,
So do not think of your loved one as dead-
For death is only a stepping stone
To a beautiful life we have never known,
A place where God promised man he would be
Eternally happy, safe and free,
A wonderful land where we live anew
When our journey on earth is over and through-
So trust in God and doubt Him never
For all who love Him live forever,
And while we cannot understand
Just let the Savior take your hand,
For when death's angel comes to call
"God is so great and we're so small"…
And there is nothing you need fear
For faith in God makes all things clear.

"Today shalt thou be with me in paradise" Luke 23:43

This has been the most hopeful and helpful words about life after death for me, the words Christ spoke to the penitent man who was dying that day by His side.

Loving Savior, today I lift up my friends who are grieving.
Give them strength when they feel weak;
and when they feel alone in the long chilly night,
surround them with a warm blanket of your love and their good memories. Like armor, may this prayer protect them from all harm.
May the wind blow their burdens away little by little,
so that they experience the freedom of joy once more. I
am confident that just one solitary prayer will make a
difference in their lives and in mine. Amen.
I remember you always in my prayers. Romans 1:9

Hi Megan.I was jus passing by wen i saw your website. My friend Joshua also died in a motorbike accident, and he died jus before you. He will look after you.Bt look out for him too.

Letter to Mom
by Joy Curnutt

Mom, please don’t feel guilty
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow.

We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some it’s not many years
I don’t want you to keep crying
You are shedding so many tears.

I haven’t really left you
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
And I’m closer to you than you know.

Just believe that when you say my name
I’m standing next to you,
I know you long to see me,
But there’s nothing I can do.

But I’ll still send you messages
And hope you understand,
That when your time comes to “cross over,”
I’ll be there to take your hand.
