Megan M. Burkard
Age 28, of Lakeville
On March 25, the world lost a beautiful soul to the power of addiction. Megan participated in saving others but could not save herself. She was beautiful inside and out and freely shared the wisdom that belied her years. She was a voracious reader and modeled the art of active listening.
