    I don’t know of a time I didn’t know Meg. Growing up together was great in a small town. I am sure there is a reason why she had to leave so soon, however, we just don’t know yet. I will keep you all close to my heart and prayers until there is a different normal to your lives. I love you all and pray the memories, and her contagious laughter will help get through the hard days.

  39. Meg was the best aunt I could have ever asked for! I joined the Gray family a little late when I was 8 and Meg welcomed me in with open arms! She always went out of her way to include me and treat me like one of her own. She lit up every room she entered and was so much fun to be with. I am going to miss her so very much.

  42. My sincerest sympathies to Hokey and the family. I had the opportunity to make Meg’s acquaintance when she was appointed by Wooster City Council to serve on the Charter Review Commission in 2010. Over the course of months of commission meetings, Meg always did her homework, and was always prepared to make meaningful contributions to commission deliberations. Beyond that, she had both patience and a keen sense of humor. I’m grateful to have had the chance to know her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time.

  43. Our sympathy goes out to all of Meg’s family, to Dr Boreman and his staff, and to all who were her patients for so many years. She was such an excellent hygienist who will be difficult to replace, but her real gift was the way she treated her patients. She was kind, caring, and competent…a joy to be around. We will miss her greatly.
