What an incredible woman, I'm so blessed to have known her. I was so fortunate to have been Pebbles roommate and to get to know her "Mum" who always made time to talk with us and show interest in what was happening in our boring college lives. I'll never forget how at home she was with all of us, joining right in on the parties. She's a wonderful inspiration of strength and how we should all approach life with zest and intrigue. I loved hearing about her travel adventures.
My heart goes out to Pebs, Greg, and Sheila and the entire Pedersen family. Please know she lives on through each one of you, the smiles and fond memories shared last night was definite proof of that. Blessings to all.

The most wonderful and caring women that I ever knew

IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,!
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say 'I love you,'
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will l always be another day
to say 'I love you,'
And certainly there's another chance
to say our 'Anything I can do?'
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn! 't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say 'I'm sorry,'
'Please forgive me,' 'Thank you,' or 'It's okay.'
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today! MS."P", YOU WERE A JOY TO WORK WITH AND YOU WILL BE MISSED!
