Dear Aunt Peggy,
I miss you so much. A lot of times I can't believe you are gone, it still feels unreal to me. I miss all the times we've shared and all the things you've taught me. I know you are watching over me, and I can't wait until the day I can see you and grandma again. Sometimes I feel angry at god for taking you from us, but I know he needed you in heaven and now you aren't in anymore pain.I love and miss u so much xoxo

Peg, It's hard to believe it's almost been a year, alot has changed most of it good. 4 happy & healthy babies where born this past year.
Your boy's are all doing good, there hearts are still mending and I will always be here if they need anything just like I promised you.
My heart keeps waiting for the phone to ring, even though my brain knows it never will : (
I miss you so much Peggy, I am thankful though you are free of the pain and cancer and you are with Mom, who I'm sure was waiting for you to come to her.
I will Love & Miss You FOREVER

Well my friend it is comming up on your 1yr. Anniversary. I bet there will be a WONDERFUL Celebration of Life. I really Miss You. I wish you were here to share things with and to talk to. I know your only a Prayer away but a shoulder would be nice once in awhile. Thankyou for sharing these beautiful babies with us and your boys. They have been a huge Blessing. Scottie and Pat came over last weekend and cut wood so we have some for the winter. With Eddie being sick it was a HUGE RELIEF. They are as BLESSED HAVING YOU FOR A MOTHER AS YOU WERE HAVING THEM FOR SON'S. You RAISED SOME PRETTY AMAZING BOY'S THERE PEGGY. YOU WOULD BE SO PROUD OF THEM. I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND. TERRI

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To All Of Peggy's Family and friends!!!
A beautiful garden now stands alone, missing the one who nurtured it who now is gone, Her flowers still bloom, and the sun it still shines, But the rain is like tears drops, for the one left behind, The weeds lay waiting to take the gardens beauty away, But the beautiful memories of it's keeper are in our harts to stay, she loved every flower even some that were weeds, So much love she would plant with each little seed, But just like her flowers she was part of God's plan, So when it was her time he reached down his hand, He looked through the Garden searching for the best, That's when he found Peggy, it was her time to rest, It was hard for those who loved her, to just let her go, But god had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul, So when you start missing Peggy, remember if you just wait, When God has a spot in his garden She'll meet you at the gate.....

Peg,
I miss you so much already, but I am so glad that you are free of pain and with Mom now. And it was my honor to be with you and take care of you these past few months, I would not have missed all that for anything.
You would be so proud of the boys, they are all pulling together and trying to smile even though their heart is breaking.
I Love you Peggy and I will be with You again one day and we can sit and talk again like we always did.
