Arundel Community Mourns the Loss of 'Sweet Girl'

Odenton-Severn, MD Patch | Tim Lemke
Megan McCormack passed away last week at age of 19.

Every once in a while, Megan McCormack would ask her friends about heaven. What was it like? Should she be afraid of it?

The questions were purely hypothetical at the time. But friends and family reflected deeply on those conversations after learning of her death last week at age 19.

“It just seemed so untimely and very unfair,” close friend Molly Sinnott said. “But Megan and I used to talk about heaven a lot … I know that she knew she would be safe in heaven. I always told her to not be afraid of it. I’m glad we had the chance to talk about those things.”

By all accounts, Megan was a happy teen who enjoyed playing video games, going to the movies and laughing at TV shows, especiallyFamily Guy.

She was an honor roll student at Arundel High School with a habit of buying a new purse every two months or so.

Perhaps most importantly, she never allowed her autism and bouts of epilepsy to keep her from finding happiness each day.
