Megan Jones, 10/4/1972 - 9/6/2011

Hello Everybody,

I am sorry to bring you sad news, but Megan passed away around 2:00 on the morning of September 6th, 2011.

I know that this news will be a shock to many of you, especially if you were aware of how often Megan bounced back from previous low points during her journey with cancer. The relatively quick decline of Megan's health over the past several months just seemed like a bump in the road, but in hindsight it was an indication of where the road was going.

I can assure you, however, that Megan's passing was peaceful and she was comfortable and with loved ones at the time.

In lieu of flowers or other condolences, I am asking that a donation be made in Megan's name to any of the following organizations:

Cancer Support Community: http://www.cscpasadena.org/
Habitat for Humanity, San Gabriel Valley: http://www.sgvhabitat.org/
Ohio Historical Society: http://ohsweb.ohiohistory.org/
Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA: http://www.pasadenahumane.org/

Lastly, I invite you to view the slideshow that we played at Megan's memorial party, found in the link below:

Thank you for all your support over the past couple of years. Megan did not publish updates to this blog very often, but putting herself out there helped us feel less alone in her journey, and for that I am forever grateful.

Take care, and thank you, again.

Jonathan Martinez
