Peggy, My Dear Friend
I will love you for always and forever. I will cherish the good times we had together and will never forget you. When we meet again in heaven we will share a smoothie.

Words cannot ever express the sympathy, especially at the loss of a mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Yet, that is all we have to use. My sorrow at everyone's deep loss of Peggy is truly huge; she was a woman so full of life & love; having shared grandchildren with her, I knew the depth of her devotion to them, her fierce love for her children & grandchildren. It was a privelege to have known her, & my heart is filled with sorrow for each person who now feels the deep emptiness of her loss. Please try to remember that she is now at peace, & will live on in your memories, your hearts & the faces of each person she loved. Those we loved truly do not die if we continue to honor them with our rememberances & love each day. May you find peace in those joyous times with her, knowing she loved all of you so very much. God bless.
