I noticed the same happened with me. A friend I know in real life and on twitter just mentioned her death, and a chill went down my spine, too. It's not just that I'm reminded that just about anyone's life could get cut short by a car accident, it's that I'll miss what she could have contributed to my friend's life, and indirectly contributed to mine. I also can't help but think I might have got a chance to enjoy her creative work and insights myself, as it was being created (I enjoyed the video that was embedded in this post).
In my experience, the most common thing that happens when people disappear from the social network scene is that they come back. I'm really starting to believe that social networking is transforming society. ... See all content Hide content

I never knew Meg was an only child - I can't imagine how you must feel at the minute.
How Meg was viewed online says a lot about how you must have brought her up, and I'm sure everyone's thoughts are with you and your family. She was certainly a well-loved character and I'm sure she was as proud of you as you are of her.
My sincerest warmest wishes to you. ... See all content Hide content

Danny, this is Meg's Mom. I want to thank you for taking the time to do this very sweet tribute to my precious daughter. I also want to thank all the nice people that commented so tenderly about Megan. She was our only child, still lived at home, and with every second that goes by, it gets harder to know that she won't be coming home......we are heartbroken and miss her terribly. For those of you that have children, hug them often,tell them you love them even when they are mad at you....and, spend time with them, even if it's to just ask them how their day went....they will notice. Again, thank you all for being so kind......with genuine appreciation, Megan's Mom ... See all content Hide content

What a beautiful voice and sadly ironic song. She is an incredible loss to the world. Very nice tribute. Tragic.

I too was saddened by Meg's death. Back in April, I had seen a tweet that she was planning a trip to South Beach. I tweeted her that I would connect her with some nice young people here so she could have fun. I even told one of my best friends son about her and if they didn't mind adding her on Facebook so they could connect and DM'd her the email of this nice young guy.
She eventually told me her trip was cancelled...unfortunately her life now has been cancelled...I literally cried that day and thought about her and her family's tragedy. I was also amazed at the power of the connection of the twitter medium. It sunk in that day how you can really make some nice connections even if short lived.
My last tweet with her was that I was trying to play twitter cupid...I know that cupid in heaven is giving her lots of love now because she shared it in her tweets.

Danny,
Thank you so much for writing this. I knew Meg fairly well, she was an amazing, creative, and fun young lady. This is a tragedy ;( I will miss her for *real* even though I never met her IRL.

I must be honest and say I didn't know her on Twitter, but it sent a chill down my spine. This to me seems more 'real' than the news about Michael Jackson. I can relate to this as a 'there but for the grace of God and all that' a lot more.
I often wonder when people just disappear of the social network scene, what happens to them. I guess most of the time it is some innocent maybe even prosaic reason, then other times it's horrible news like this. ... See all content Hide content
