Dear Peggy,

Now our mothers will meet again. Please know that my thoughts are with you even though I'm miles away. "Blessed are the meek..." Ms. Bea was "gentle and kind" personified; and I will always treasure the times when our families were together. (I added some photos separately.)

Peggy,
How blessed we are to have the love of our Moms and then to be able to show them how much we love them through our care for them.
We have had such similarities in our lies throughout the years, at this time I can only say I love you & we both know that God is in control and just as he oversees all things in our lives he oversees this too.
Love You, Thelma

Dr. Engram, my heart bleeds because of your loss. I met Mrs. Engram many years ago when I had to sit in her office and wait for my mother to finish an ARD. Mrs. Engram told me many stories, we talked and laughed like old friends and from that day, I grew to love Nurse Engram. Your mother will truly be missed by us all. Dr. E, you are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything, give me a call. I will be checking on you. Love you, Meredith

Dearest Peggy:

It was so heart warming to observe the mutual love and devotion that you and your beautiful mother had for one another. She was so proud of you and how you delighted in spoiling her. What a precious example of love! Praise God for the boundless love that she lavishly gave during her time here on earth. Hallelujah for the eternal life she now shares with our Lord Jesus Christ in our Father's heavenly home.

Cousin Bea will always be a fond memory. She and my mother were the last survivors of the children of the Long sisters. As I do the family genealogy she will remain close.
Sincerest condolences and love to Peggy.
