Megan Grace Otfinoski, 14, of North Branford, went home to be with the Lord on April 15, after a long and courageous battle with Congenital Heart Disease. Megan was the happiest, most content little girl. She always had the biggest smile on her face, and truly brightened the world around her. The Lord blessed her with an amazing temperament, and a resilient spirit.

She loved the Lord, her family, her friends, and her stuffed animals, and brought an amazing amount of joy into our lives. We were truly blessed to have her.

Megan was the beloved daughter of Marc and Cheryl (Sessler) Otfinoski, and was loved by her 5 older siblings; Kristina (25), Eric (24), Rachel (22), Joshua(19) and Jason (17). She is also survived by a loving extended family and many friends.

On Megan's popular social media page, her family shared the sad news. "It is with a very heavy heart that I share the news that Megan Grace passed into the presence of the Lord this morning, surrounded by people who love her. We are extremely grateful for all the love and support we have received over the course of Megan's journey, and especially over the past few months. Her bright spirit and perpetual smile will never be forgotten."
