Auntie, it seems so strange to know you´re back with mom, Grandma Gracie, a Grandfather I never got to meet, and the rest of your family. I miss your contagious laugh and wonderful smile. I´ll always remember the Christmas Days at the Naperville house with all the noise and laughter. You´ll always be in my heart
I´ll love you forever. I´ll see you again when I cross over.

Peppi was the best! She always made everyone feel so special and loved. I never knew what she would say but knew it would most likely make me laugh. I feel blessed to have known her. I am so sorry for the loss and pain that all of you are going through.

No matter what was going on you had a smile on your face and always carried on. Such a wonderful role model. Now you carry on with GOD.
God Bless you Peppi.
Love,

Peppi was one in a million. I met Peppi when we were Tellers at Naperville Bank. We always had the best time together. We sometimes had to be separated because we were having a little too much fun. As the years went by we spent Holiday's together. I never wanted to leave. We would play bingo. My kids and Jessica would play for hours. Riding their bikes thru the kitchen, dining room and living room. My face would hurt from laughing so hard. Love, love love, the McCabe family. Marie Lichter
