It's a true indication of the type of person that Meredith was that I hold so many brilliant memories from just a few months. You were a witty, beautiful and special person; an amazing part of that experience. Will miss you painfully but remember you with a smile on my face.
My thoughts and sympathy to your family now and in the future.

I studied at the same University in Perugia as Meredith back in 1995-1996. I don't know her but the news was shocking to me as Perugia was always such a fun and friendly city all those years ago. I love Perugia and it's such a shame that something like this has happened to an innocent young student (as I was once!), my thoughts go out to her family and friends.

Words cannot express the sadness of Merediths death. I never knew her but what has happened has shocked me. She was clearly a very happy popular girl with many friends & a whole life ahead of her that has been suddenly taken by someone evil. It is beyond words. My thoughts are with merediths family & friends at this difficult time.

To Meredith's mother from another mother...
Letting go of the hand of your beloved child is the most difficult thing any mother will ever do. You gave your beautiful daughter, Meredith, the freedom and confidence to travel the world. In giving her the wings to fly you proved your love for her in every step she took. Evil took her from you but the love you hold for her in your heart can never be erased. May you be comforted in the very difficult days ahead.

I opened the Metro paper today as was absolutely devastated to see your beautiful face staring back at me, I read down in disbelieve and prayed it would not read your name. I am absolutely shocked and saddened; words can not explain the pain I feel within. My thoughts are with you; my thoughts are with your family. I just cannot comprehend the pain and anguish they must be feeling now and forever. I am speechless, entirely speechless.

Please send Meredith an angel
send her one of mine
a loving and caring one
the best that you can find

Please send my friend an angel
and trust her with it's care
someone or something for her to love
and to always be there

Please send my friend an angel
one to help her fill her days
with hope, love, and laughter
and the warmth of sunshine rays

Please send my friend an angel
you know shes one of mine
please send her a guarding angel
as true friends hard to find

My thoughts will be forever with you.

I live close to the Perugia Police Station and I would like to inform you that one Congolese man and Meredith' American house-mate, have been arrested this morning for the Mez' murder. This is a good news but of course, the arrest of those people will never bring Meredith back to her family and friends but least let's hope justice will be done.

I studied in Perugia 20 years ago - we all studied hard but enjoyed ourselves immensely as well. I'm glad eveyone is not only horrified but refusing to be judgemental about the victim. The killer or killers are the guilty ones.

A young Italian man from Puglia was also arrested - evidently he was the boyfriend of the US exchange student.

For Meredith

Every time I look into you eyes
I shed a little tear
Your inner beauty touches my soul
Knowing you should be here

And though your path has led you
To walk into the great Mother's arms
Never will you be forgotten
Or your wonderful charm

Life be eternal
We the children bright as light
Go to your Father king of love
You are forever in our sight

Your gentle grace will be missed
There that special was about you
May all the love the world contains
Be yours forevermore true

Sweet child of beauty kindness and joy
Your spirit flies like a dove
Never was I ever as much touched
As by your all embracing love

Go in peace and rest now
On the highest throne
Your memory will serve this world
To make us less alone

Your smile was the medicine so many need today
and when your smile shone on me you showed me again the way
You really made me care Meredith how I love you dear, as so many many do
Be forever in our hearts and never to be blue

Utterly heartbreaking. Such a lovely and lovig person taken away in their prime. I am sure nobody who knew Meredith will ever lose her from their minds and hearts , just as the seeming crackpot(s) that murdered her will surely live with this atrocity on their conscience to the end of their days (and all power to Italian justice in helping secure this).
