May 29, 2023 at 4:20 pmSo sorry for your loss. Meg was an amazing person. She was very funny. Never met a nicer person. I had the honor of working with her for years sharing offices in the Insurance industry. Loved hearing about the whole family in the many stories she shared. She was very devoted to her Mom. Again, I am very sorry for your loss.

May 30, 2023 at 1:52 pmWe will never forget (aunt) Meg Simonian! With her beautiful voice and presence, she sang at our wedding 33 years ago. With her kind and generous disposition, she would invite our family over to her swimming pool and then cook up a storm at supper for us! Decadent chocolate cake would most always be on the menu. She was a beautiful and kind soul. She is now singing in Heaven’s choir. Rest in peace dear Meg. We love you! Joe and Brenda T.
