To the family of Meghan: I am so sorry for the loss of your dear family member. Death is always difficult to bear, yet seems even more tragic when the one lost was such a wonderful soul. I wanted to share something comforting with you, that has helped me through difficult times. The bible promises that soon, our God Jehovah “will wipe out every tear” from our eyes and will completely destroy “mourning, outcry and pain” forever (Revelation 21:4). Then, by means of his son, Jesus, he will bring our loved ones back to life as promised at John 5:28,29. But until we see these promises come true, know that we can look to God who “comforts us in all our tribulation” (1 Corinthians 1:3). Again, I want to express my deepest sympathies for your loss.
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH AT THIS TIME.MAY THE DAYS AHEAD BE FILLED WITH ALL THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES THAT YOU HAVE AND MAY YOU BE UPLIFTED BY THE PRAYERS SENT YOUR WAY. PAT AND PATTY BROWN AND JAN AND BOB WILSON FROM TITUSVILLE
Dear Chris,
We did not know either of you very well, just got acquainted as “fellow booth operators” at the Crawford County Fair a few years ago. But it was obvious to see there was something about your family. Our prayers are with you and your children as we ask God to hold you closely in his loving arms and comfort you.
In Christian love,
Ernie and Christine Odorisio

We lovingly remember Megan growing up, how she fell in love with, and married her church sweetheart, Chris, and what we knew of her as a wonderful wife and mom.
We are grieving with each and every family member, most of them dear and longtime friends from church and some who were our former French Creek Valley Christian School students, including Chris.
How we wish we could lift just a measure of the sadness and burden from all of you. Our prayers are what we can offer and you will have them in the days and months to come.
In Christian love, Bob and Yvonne Thayer

Dear Chris,
I can’t even think of words to tell you how much I have been praying for you and will continue. I’ve always thought of you two as a couple that was rare, like your parents, close and dedicated. Megan was such a bright light to anyone she met. I remember your wedding and all the many ways your familiies helped make that day so personal and special. I remember how lovely Megan looked and always did. She has left a legacy of a Godly wife and mother. Every time I saw you two in church, one or two children were crawling on you and you both beamed, just radiating Christ. He will hold your hand and carry you through this difficult time and adjustment. Many prayers will follow. Much love to you and all your children,
Betsy & Mike Lohr
Sending my love and prayers❤️
Chip, Linda & Family,
