Fr. O'Connor just mentioned to me of Meg's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a great blessing during our time as seminarians in Douglaston. I will offer Mass for the repose of her soul and the consolation of you, her family, here in the Vatican. Fr. John Cush, North American College, Vatican-City State

While I was a seminarian, Meg was always a blessing to us at Douglaston. Her smile, her laugh and her dedication were much appreciated. I will offer a Mass for the repose of her soul. I am very sorry for your loss.

I was so sorry to hear of Meggie's passing. She was so sweet and beautiful. My husband Keith Glaser says she was his first crush in first grade he used to chase her around the schoolyard. I'm sure her light and warmth with be sorely missed by all.

Meg had such a sweet mannerism and kindness that will never be forgotten. I willl always remember when she dressed as Mrs. Claus to add to some magic to the hearts of the kids at St. Gregory the Great school. You will be missed! Nicole Terranova Clark.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

To the Ciminelli family: I want to tell you how incredibly sorry that I am. I’ve been thinking of Meg and all of you every single day . My daughter Jael, is also very sad about Meg – she actually burst out into tears when I gave her the news. In the very short time that my daughter was able to spend with Meggie in Astoria – she certainly made a huge impact on her. Her great big smile was unforgettable. I think that’s what sticks out most to me. I am glad she is at peace now, and not in any pain. I am still in disbelief and am so very sorry for this tremendous loss. As I always tell Mara, she’s so lucky to have such a big family, especially in a time like this, when support from others means everything. All of my love and hope that you have all of the comfort you need now and always. Sue Schienberg

Anyone who was lucky enough to be brought into or included in the Ciminelli family should consider themselves blessed. Meg will always stand out as an honorable representation of what love means. Sweet, supportive and kind. Her smile will carry on throughout the years (Andrew was graced with it) and her actions are etched in stone. She is a perfect example of what women strive to be-Natalie Tortora (p.s the Oreo truffles are my favorite )
