Mom - You will be missed. You were one strong woman until the end. Your laughter was consuming. I miss talking to you every day already but the saving grace for me is that you are not suffering with pain any longer. You are in the arms of Big Mama and Papa surrounded by Stan, Hank, Lou, Joe, Bill and Helen. Not to mention the friends that you lost. They are all there MAMA and they waited so long through your suffering for you to come home. I told you that you were reaching the top of the hill and you did in style. You are my guardian angel and I know that you will waiting for me when I come home.

Dearest Peggy you bore your pain in silence and quiet determination for so long. Now God has set you free. Everyone that had the pleasure of knowing you loved you. I will always cherish our marathon phone conversations and the friendship we developed through them. I will miss your laugh and all of your motherly advice. I know life dealt you a few blows along the way but you rose above them with grace and dignity. You were a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. I will miss you so much. Rest in peace now you have so earned it.

We love you Aunt Peggy and will miss your laughter very much. I have fond memories of childhood sleepovers with Michelle, family sing-a-longs around your piano and cookouts on the porch. And Tiny Bits jumping at the mailslot, which always made us children giggle for some reason! Hugs and kisses... I'm blowing them to heaven for you. Now your Momma and Daddy can hug you again with your brothers and sister who have already arrived too. We miss you all and will see you again in the sweet by and by.

Love always,
Dianne Marie

Peg was a long distance yet close relative. Throughout the years as I traveled through her section of the country I always touched base with her and frequently had lunch or dinner with her. She will be missed.
