"There is so much going on. On May 21st I'm flying to Texas. Then I'm driving with my pregnant sister from Texas to CT. On Wednesday I'll be rallying at the capitol to make sure rape victims in CT don't have to become pregnant. My internship is going to last for as long as I'm in college. This summer I will party with my girls, plan baby showers, study the poetry of women, move the ECSU Women's Center into a new building. I havent chewed off my nails in 3 months. I saw CHICAGO on broadway for 5 dollars. ...My dog got fat, and old, but i love her. I feel blessed, Chaotic, crazy busy, consumed by school, but blessed." -Megan Kleczka, April 23rd, 2007. |
Beloved to many

| I miss everything about my baby sister. I miss everything she said, every mannerism. I miss the funny things she did as a small child and the extraordinary things she did as a young woman. I miss her blond hair, how completely different she was from me, and how she always told me it was going to be okay. I treasure everything she ever said to me. Her presence was a gift to me, and I would like to celebrate her life here. If you would like to add anything at any time, please contact me. with Love and gratitude, Sarah Sansom |
A Tribute and a Celebration
Megan worked at a local daycare and loved her job. She loved to spend time with "her kids." She was so proud of the kids and developed relationships with them. From this experience, she became a mentor to at least two remarkable young ladies. |
Snuggles! Our family has had the family dog since
1993, so Megan grew up with Sunuggles. Whenever
Megan took Snuggles to the groomer, she would
come back with a pink bow in her hair (I don't
know why the dog has such long hair and a bow in
this photo - it must have stayed in a long time!).

Megan and her eyelash curler! I used to
tease her because she had so many of them,
and she always seemed to have one with her.
Here, she has pulled one out while in a
friend's car waiting to pick up another
friend.

| Megan and I were about 10 years apart in age, although we were the only siblings in the family. Here, I am holding my new baby sister in the hospital. I called her my baby sister all her life, and I continue to do so! She had dark hair like mine when she was a baby, but it turned blond as she grew. |
| Megan loved her girls from "WA '05" - Woodstock Academy class of '05. She spent her first year of college in Massachusetts at a school she disliked, but the promise of coming home to Woodstock and her WA '05 friends kept her spirits up. Megan was blessed with amazing friends! |
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
...
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that is keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

| Megan was a great fan of Lucille Ball and had lots of I Love Lucy memorabilia and collectors' items. Her family and oldest friends will always think of her whenever we see an episode or any reference to Lucille Ball. Whenever an episode comes on television, I remember Megan's warmth and humor and the joy of her presence. |
