Remembering Megan

As most of you know by now, Megan passed away yesterday evening around 6 pm. She is in no doubt up in heaven as I type this. Because if she is not, well, the rest of us are all in big trouble. I truly believe she hung on just long enough to visit with her close family one more time. I never thought she was going to make it to Saturday morning. But she had over a dozen family members coming to visit. And as always, she never let them down.

Next Sunday the following obituary will run in the Evansville Courier, Indianapolis Star, and Hendricks County Flyer. There will not be a funeral service. Megan always wanted to remain close to our family after passing. Her earthly body will be cremated this week. Her ashes will be placed in the middle of our house. From there she will be able to watch our family as we blossom moving forward. Friends and family will be able to pay their respects every time they visit Reese, Fiona, and myself. After I pass away, our ashes will be scattered at our favorite family vacation spot, along the coast of Lake Michigan. That way we will be together forever.

I will post another blog that should help you find a way to cope with Megan's loss. I wish I could meet with all of you individually, but after this long journey I am just too exhausted. I hope to see you all in Evansville at Megan's celebration of life. See you then!

Love,
Lucas



Megan Rosbottom, 35

Megan Lynn (Nottingham) Rosbottom of Avon, IN passed away on 4/5/2014. She courageously battled breast cancer for 14 months. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Megan had blessed throughout her very memorable life.

She was born in Evansville, IN to Charles and Shirley Nottingham on 1/27/1979. After losing both of her parents at a young age Megan was always thankful to be cared for and loved by her step mother, Rebecca “Becky” Nottingham of Poseyville, IN.

Megan graduated from North Posey High School in 1997. She continued her education at Indiana University, graduating in 2001 with a degree in Recreational Therapy. After college, Megan held management positions in retail specializing in women’s fashion. In 2003 she married her college sweetheart, Lucas Rosbottom.

Moving to Greater Indianapolis with her family in 2009, Megan found her calling. The highlight of her life was staying at home to raise her beloved daughters, Reese and Fiona. She enjoyed fashion, photography, and always found time for lunch with friends.

Lucas would like to thank all of her medical providers and caregivers, especially Becky and her mother in law Betty Rosbottom. Funeral services will be private. A celebration of life will be held every year on the eve of the Evansville Race for the Cure. For more details please visit the Facebook group, Megan’s Rack Pack.
