Mrs. Nelson, I was a student at Pioneer Park throughout 2002-2007. I must say you have inspired me and helped me grow into the woman I am today. I remember your bubbly personality, kind heart, and energy! I will never forget the pep rally where you dressed as a cheerleader and cheered for us on stage. I am now in college studying Education. I plan to get my master's and become a principal as well. I will always look to your grace and positivity as inspiration for my work, you were truly one of a kind and will always be missed. Thank you for everything! Continue to rest in peace beautiful, we all love you.

May the comforting thought from the Bible book of Revelation, the 21st chapter, verse 4 be of comfort to you. It reads: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I offer my sincere condolences to you all.

To Jeff and Family,
I didn't personally know you, but I'm sorry for your loss. I was an employee of Mrs. Nelson. She was a very remarkable person who loved and cared for everyone she came in contact with. My fondest memory of her was the FCAT Pep Rally "07". She was one of the Sugar Bear Cheerleaders. We had such a wonderful time at the Pep Rally. The kids and the staff really enjoyed the performance. I remember it just like it was yesterday. My last time seeing her was at this year's Homecoming Parade. I was so happy to see her on the float. I told her that very day that I was coming back to be a substitute at Pioneer Park and she said okay. She had smile on her face then. I'm miss her dearly. Take care and remember the good times you shared with her, and it'll make the hurt eaiser to bear.

Jeff, Eric and Josh,
I can't tell you the sorrow I feel for each one of you. Peggy and I shared a lot of good times and the boys were always a treat to watch. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that Peg made a hugh impact on so many lives while she was here and I know there will be a huge void but now she will return Home with Sandy. Rest in peace Peggy! God bless all of you.

"A Rose Placed In Heavens Garden" that's what has happened. She was energetic, unselfish, loving and so willing to do whatever she could to improve her school, to motivate her staff to just LOVE on people. A deep sadness has fallen upon Pioneer Park Elementary as our leader has been placed in a better place "HEAVEN". We "LOVE" her and will continue to embrace Jeff, Erik and her entire family as we grieve her passing. She will forever remain in the hallways of our school. The "kiddos" were her first priority and her staff was her all in all. We've lost a true leader but HEAVEN had gained a loving person!!!GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY SHALL KEEP US STRONG!!!!

The world has lost a true hero. Peggy was one of a kind! She was one of the kindest and most caring people I've ever known. She had a heart of pure gold and loved all of god's creatures, especially the children and staff of Pioneer Park..She was always looking to help others and would often assist many families here in the Glades. Peggy was a very bright star and will be missed and thought of everyday. I thank god that I had the priviledge of knowing her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
