Meg here, Thank-you very much for all of your kindness, Martin Schaedel was an amazing person that did more in his very short life then most people do in a long one. He could make you laugh, and was brilliant and most importantly had a heart of gold. Martin Schaedel The world has truly lost a shining star. I have lost a wonderful friend. Everything you ladies wrote makes it a little easier. Thank-you again.

You have been in my prayers all week, Meg, and the prayers of my family. We love you!
I adore you for posting Ken and for you undaunting support of Meg. I wish onlypeace and continued love in your hearts and know that one day she'll hear hisname on the wind and know he's still there...crashed out on her EFFIN couch!
Love, hugs and shoes...Angie
Meg--Again, I am so sorry and I am praying for you non-stop. Megken--I'm stunned at the beauty, language, and insight of your comment and couldn't agree more. Meg is one of the most gorgeous woman I've ever known and don't deserve her. I am continually befuddled as to how she turned a beauty site into a support system with the most amazing, precious group of "lovelies" in my life, scattered across the country. They comfort me enormously and I weep at many things they do out of awe and gratitude! The number of women who grieved with Meg shocked me as well; we love, love, love and respect her! I see my being here since June as a miracle, a precusor for what was to come--my mom's death, multiple eye problems and pain, being on an unpaid leave from a job I could not love more, etc. I actually had several "friends" here who ignored how I hurt, actually asked if I had a really enjoyable and exciting Christmas, and made ridiculous remarks like, "Your mom died in October. Time to have fun and get over it already." WHAT? Sure I did. In order not to strangle them, I turned first to God and my family and her site for help. Beware--Meg is addictive and is sincere when most others are not. I have zero tolerance for self-absorbed people, and she and they give their all. Urine on the floor? As they say, "Love me, love my dog." Skittles will eat only MY feminine products if she doesn't get attention and it actually doesn't bother me; I have to "pretend" to be angry (today a lipstick went as I slept to ease my angst). By the way, your haircut is great. (Pardon me--I fear that this makes no sense because I can't think straight or see, but I HAD to reply to your blurb immediately.) God Bless, Gigi
I just read megkens tribute, what a sweetheart meg! I'm happy you have him to help you through this loss. I've read much about Martin's life over the past week. It i saw pictures he took on flickr, it's amazing to see just a small glimpse of what his eyes have seen. I've only been on this site for a little over a month, but I already see what an incredible impact you have on so many women. You bring joy and comfort to near strangers and welcome them in to feel like close personal friends. Do not underestimate the size of your own heart and your ability to touch strangers lives. I do pray for you and wish you peace. Just wanted you to know of one of many out there who care for you.
MegI am so very sorry for your loss. I'm very glad you had him in your life, even though it was for such a short time. I need to learn from him to live life to the fullest. Hugs and much loveBettejo
In times like this when I never know what to say, I always look for a poem or story to do it for me. This is my favorite. It helped me so much when I lost loved ones. There are several versions of this poem and disputes of who wrote it. I felt this version would be helpful. When you are able, lean on friends and family.DO NOT STAND AND WEEP Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

One of the greatest things about Meg is all of the friends she has both on line and in the off line world. Since I have known Meg I have met amazing people. Martin was different, he lived life in the high gear, fearlessly. This guy would stop at nothing to live the life he wanted. He saw most of the world, met more people and has done a lifetime of adventures. Martin loved to sleep on Meg's couch even though he could afford any hotel in LA. I am not sure why he liked to stay with Meg in the drafty living room, with the dog pee on the floor but I am sure Meg's love was much more comforting than a hotel room. I never heard him get through a sentence without Efffin that and Efffin this, but that was his charm. Meg and Martin had a relationship that was like a brother and sister. She will miss him forever. She loves this guy so much. I don't feel that a part of her is gone, I feel that her love for him has grown even more and I am sure Martin knows. My last bit is this: when people met Martin they could tell that this was a bulb burning bright... and unfortunately it seems like the bulbs that burn the brightest go out first but not without sharing the amazing light he brought to everyone who met him.... Efffin guy.
Martin was a great friend of mine. I'm still sort of in shock that this happened and that I'm even typing this. A lot of the time when people pass away, everyone says all these grandiose, amazing things about them....with Martin, all the things that you're hearing about and reading are actually true. Just a total gem...I was so blessed to have had him in my life....if only for a brief time...ugh...just so shocking....he was so cute...:)
