Family still struggles with grief nine years after Oregon boat crash that killed Megan Wells
The community in Loves Park, Illinois is remembering Megan Swaziek Wells, who tragically lost her life in a boating accident on the Rock River in Oregon nine years ago. Megan's parents, Robin and David Swaziek, still deeply feel the pain of their daughter's untimely passing. Robin recalled the heartbreaking moment when she learned of Megan's death and the ongoing grief that they experience. The family honors Megan's memory each year by visiting the river, releasing flowers, and listening to her favorite song, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. They also gather to release butterflies on Megan's birthday. Despite the challenges, the Swaziek family finds solace in each other's support and in preserving Megan's legacy. Marc Mongan, the individual involved in the incident, accepted a plea deal for reckless conduct, and the Swazieks have shared their story in a book titled Betrayed by the Justice System: What Was Done in the Dark Will be Brought Into the Light.
