Meg is a loving, patient, amazing wife and mother of our six children; John Paul, Lauren, Kelly, Emily, Thérèse and Luke. Meg's faith in God and her trust in His plan is an example to anyone facing adversity in his/her life.  Meg is so brave and she's truly selfless as she worries about everyone else rather than herself. Meg's OB is an amazing pro-life doctor and is the primary adviser for the treatment of her cancer.  


We're blessed with a WONDERFUL and loving family and so many amazing friends that are already planning to help with everything from meals to homeschooling.  We know that wherever this journey leads us, He will be with us and we will offer our challenges up to Him.  Please keep Meg and our new baby girl in your prayers! 


Thank you, thank you so much!


Love,


Michael, Meg, John Paul, Lauren, Kelly, Emily, Thérèse, Luke and Maria Angela
