Megan was a kind, caring, loving soul with a beautiful heart of gold. As she was growing up, Megan was the only girl in the family until Nicole was born.

Megan enjoyed playing basketball, baking, making crafts and decorating for every holiday. Megan loved doing hair in many stylish ways, especially for her girls, Shanie and Kloe. Another skill she had was putting on makeup. She had a routine when getting ready to go somewhere, always spending plenty of time to apply her makeup perfectly and fix her hair just perfect.
