She was such a wonderful, joy-filled neighbor, with a smile that lit up the street. She showed so clearly her love of home, family, friends, and I(I can testify) animals. She greeted us always with that wonderful smile, those marvelous eyes. We will always remember her with joy. She helped make us what we are, in the best, most positive sense. God bless, you, Peggy, and thank you for your generous, accepting, and loving spirit. It stays with us still. Deirdre and the rest of the Kimball family, including Krista.

Beautiful Peggy,
The sky has entered your heart.
Child eyes rise and search
Like unclasped doves
Homing the blue field,
Blossoms your love.

Although I do not know you or your family, I was reading my sister in laws obituary (Jane Kaminske) obituary online as we lost her on Saturday 3/28/09 from cancer too. I found the poem below to be very comforting, and I hope your family will find comfort in it as well.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.

She left us quietly, her thoughts unknow, but she left us memories we're proud to own. SO treasure her Lord, in your garden of rest. For here on earth she was the best!

God Bless!
