Happy Birthday Mom! I think about you and miss you every day. Crazy to think how long you have been gone and now Janet is with you. I have 5 grandsons and another grandson due in Feb and a granddaughter due in Feb. they are all happy healthy and beautiful. Love you lots

Karen

Dear Mom

Miss you so much. Not a day goes by without me thinking about you. Hard to believe it is 20 years without you. Wish you, Dad Peg could see my 5 grandsons. So grateful Janet was able to meet 3 of them.
Keep watching over us
Love you

Karen

Dear Mom

Hard to believe you have been gone for 19 years.
Still miss you, Dad, Peg and now Janet. Losing Janet was such a shock. She was enjoying being a grandma so much. Bo and Peg are doing their best -I know how much they both miss her. So unfair. And losing Michael COnnolly was horrible. His service was beautiful-the Connolly's are amazing and they have been so good to us. We are lucky to have them

I am in Houston with Kerry, Joe and the kids. Kerry is expecting another baby in April. THis will be our fifth grandchild- 4 boys so far. Remember how happy we were when Kerry was born? Her boys are darling. JP's 4th bday is Sst, and Beau's 2nd bday is Sunday. They are so cute. Michael's Hudson is beautiful. So tall-no surprise. Matt's son George looks exactly like Matt (and Dad!). You can tell he is an OMalley. Blond, blue eyed and so tall. Between Matt's height and Erika's height George will be well over 6 feet. His first bday was a couple of weeks ago at our house. Makes me so sad that none of you are around.

Hugs to all my heavenly family. Love you and miss you. Keep watching over us.
Love
Karen

Hi Gammy,

I cannot believe it´s been 18 years. I´ve been without you almost longer than I´ve been with you. On your anniversary, we lit a candle and said a prayer for you at San Marco Church. It´s a beautiful Church in Marco Island, FL. It is where I got married, and where Keira was baptized. I wish you were with us. I love you.

Ash xoxo

Miss you Mom! So hard to have been without you these past 18 years! I hope you hear my prayers. I am in Houston with Kerry and Joe and their 2 beautiful boys. It is both their birthdays this week- JP is 3 and Beau is 1. Michael and his beautifully wife had a boy in September and Matthew and Erika had a boy last week. I was telling Matt and Erika how you we re in the delivery with Bob and I. I will never forget it. His so looks just like Matt- huge blue eyes, white hair. Michael's son looks like Michael- big, dark hair and eyes, very serious and eats all day long. I cannot believe I have 4 grandsons! Watch over them. Hugs to Dad , Peg amd all mu grandparents aunts uncles and cousins. Xxxxx Love you

Karen

Happy 89th Birthday Gammy! I´ve been thinking about you so much lately. We just went to mass and lit a candle for your birthday. Your first two great-grandchildren are getting so big. I show them pictures of you and talk about you all the time.

So much has happened these past 17.5 years. I live in Maine. It is so beautiful and peaceful. We bought a house last year just outside of Portland.

Kevin George is 8. He is so big. He comes past my shoulder. He had a football game today. His team is the Chicago Bears. His favorite sport is basketball though. He´s so good at it. He reminds me so much of Bo when he was little and played basketball. Last month, he made his First Holy Communion and Confirmation. He chose St. Patrick for his Confirmation name. He´s so sweet. You would adore him.

Keira Margaret is now 5. She is so beautiful. She´s stunning. She´s so wild and full of sass. She´s very difficult, but her strength will take her far in life. She´s in her second year of Irish Step Dancing. She loves it. She also loves art and make-up. She says she wants to be a hair dresser when she grows up. She would make you laugh so much.

Give Papa, Peg and Larry a hug from us. I love you Gammy

Miss you Mom. Hard to believe I have not seen you in 17 years.

I am with Kerry - waiting for the arrival of baby #2! It is her son´s second birthday today. He brings me so much joy.

Michael got married in in a Chicago- we stayed at The orrington. I went to the ballroom where you and dad had your reception.

Pray to you every night.

Love you always

Karen

Miss you Mom. So hard to believe it has been 16 years. So much has happened. I am with Kerry and Joe- `s first birthday tomorrow. He is so beautiful-blond hair blue eyes. Such a sweet boy. Smiles all the time

Michael is engaged! We are thrilled. Michael met Hanna in grad school. She is darling. Very nice family. I remember when Michael was a baby you were holding him and said you couldn´t wait to dance with him at his wedding. I wish you were here.

Love you Mom. Hope you hear my prayers. Hugs to Dad, Peg, Larry, Barb, Carol and my sweet aunts.

Love always
Karen

Happy Birthday Mom!

Miss you more than ever. Just got back from Kerry and Joe’s - spending time with your beautiful great grandson. You would go nuts. He is so sweet. Just beautiful. Love him so much. Kerry I saw a great mom-I am so proud of her.

It has been a tough year- Barb, Carol, and Larry. So heartbreaking. Bo Andy Julia’s wedding was gorgeous. Very hard on Janet. She looked beautiful.

Always praying Andy thinking about you. Watch over us. ❤ you forever.

Karen

Hard to believe it has been 15 years Mom. Still miss you and think about you every day.
Life has been so different without you Dad and Peggy Sue.

Kerry just

Love you

It's been 10 weeks since Dad has joined you and Peg in heaven. After 12 years you and Dad are finally together again. Peg always had a special bond with Dad. My house feels so empty and my heart so heavy, but I know Dad is finally comfortable again. It's so hard going on without you here. Miss you terribly.

Karen
Me.

Dear Mom,
Thinking of you today and always. Miss you and Peggy Sue so much. I am in Chicago with Dad, Mary Pat and VInce. It was nice to be with them on your anniversary. I can't believe it has been 9 years. I miss you so much and love you always. Love to you, Peg and my aunts. Grace is beautiful. She looks just like Peg. Joe is doing such a wonderful job. Keep watching over us.

Love
Karen

I prayed to you today at the grotto and Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Elise and Jack will be going to college together at Notre Dame. You'd be thrilled. Keep watching over us, Mom.

It was so difficult for all the O'Malley and Riordan's first to let Peggy (Mom) go and the most difficult to lose Peggy Sue. I pray for the families and if I need help in my life I pray to the two Peggy's. I know it is so difficult for the children. God bless you all. I will always remember. Sincerely, Marylyn Ahlfeld

Mom:

I miss you so much. I cannot believe it has been 6 years. I am happy Peg is with you- but sad for us. She fought so hard. Give her a kiss and tell her how much I love her and miss you both. Keep listening to my prayers Mom.

Love u always
Karen

Mom:

I cannot believe it has been 5 years. I still miss you so much. So much has changed. Peg is so sick. She is fighting for every minute of her life. She never complains about the chemo, side effects, nothing. I am so scared for her and for the kids. I pray to you all the time. I know that you hear me.

I love you Mom

Karen

Gammy,
I'm thinking of you. I miss you a lot, especially with St. Patrick's Day coming up. You are always in my thoughts and we talk about you all the time. Gianna loves hearing about you. She still cries often for you, remembering how much you loved her. We all miss you Gammy.
Love, Tay

Another year has passed and you are still in your family's hearts and prayers. God bless your family and keep them safe from harm.

I miss you so much Mom. I feel like my heart is broken. I miss talking to you. I pray to you all the time. I know today you heard me and helped me. I miss all the fun we had. It is so weird not having you at my house. I did that whole room for you and you were only able to use it twice. I know you appreciated it and loved it. THe plan was supposed to be a bedroom bath, TV room and yard without stairs. I thought I had everything set for you and Dad to enjoy. Please listen when I am praying to you and help me with my kids. They miss you so much. Love you forever. Love Karen

I'm making cookies, Gammy, and of course, I thought of you. I remember you always watching how much of your cookie dough I ate or else I'd "get worms in my tummy". I miss you so much. Love you

Happy Birthday Gammy!! I miss you!
Love, Kyle

Peggy, please keep your angel wings over your family. You are never forgotten. Just because you have bodily left doesn't mean you aren't around. We know you are resting in peace. Time has a way of easing the pain of loss but not the memory of all the happy times your Kevin and family have had with you. Semper Fidelis. Marylyn Ahlfeld

Love you, Gams.

It's hard to belive it's been a year since you've left us, Gammy. I always think of you when we eat beef stew or cookies. I miss you so much, Gams. Liam is getting so big now. You would have loved him, he's so friendly, and he always smiles... I can see you in him.

I know you are smiling down at me because I'm attending St. Ignatius. As Mary Pat says,"If she were here, Tay, she'd freak!" Well, I hope you "freak"!

I love you so much Gams...

XOXO,

Tay

I miss you so much, Mom. It's so hard to be happy without you here. I have such a hole in my heart. I can't believe it's been a year since I've seen you.

Dear Aunt Peggy, I can't believe It's been a year since you left us. Everytime that I make my Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies, I think of you. I always knew you kept a few for yourself. You always sent the perfect card. All of the Happy Memories that I have. I miss you Aunt Peggy. Love, Joanie

Dear Sister "Peg", Its' been a whole year since you left us. I miss you so much. All the good memories help. But will never be like it use to be. You will always be missed. We all loved you so very much. Love, Eileen

Dear Aunt Peggy,Uncle Kevin,Terry,Karen,Peggy Sue,Janet, Mary Pat and Kevin, mom , Aunt Betty, husbands, grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews and all who loved Aunt Peg, We find it hard to believe it has been a year since AUNT PEGGY was with us.

Gammy,

I am so upset that you have left us. In these past couple of months, I have prayed to you and I have thought about you, but looking at pictures of you brings me the most joy. You were always so happy and cheerful and you treated me so well from the first day we met. I knew when I met you that you would be my "gammy", everyone loved you.



I love you so much Gammy,

Taylor

Dear Gammy,

I miss you coming over every day to my house. I miss your beef stew. I love you very much and miss seeing you. You were the best!

Love,

Elise

To my wonderful Uncle Kevin and my beautiful cousins,

Aunt Peggy, your Mom , has been on my mind all week. She was a caring and nurturing mother with such love and appreciation for family. A terrific example of what being mother is about! Her love and care worked because she created a beautiful family. I am filled with memories of her. Sleeping over and babysitting, Aunt Peggy always made time for me, one-on-one time. She made me feel special, grown-up and important and loved. I hope I can be half the woman she was. I know all your hearts are heavy at this special time of May. I wish I could ease your pain, our pain. Maybe by just loving our family, she will be with us.

A great woman has left us...

her beauty and love will carry on through all of us...On days we feel like we can't go on just know you can say a prayer and our angel will come...She's left us with her knowlegde, her love, and her memory to cherish, and hold, deep within our hearts forever.Thank you for making me feel like a granddaughter to you.You taught me a lot of things I could never learn from anyone else. Love always and forever,

AL

"Drift Away"



Day after day I'm more confused

Then I look for the light through the pourin' rain

You know, that's a game, that I hate to lose

I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame



Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away



Won't you take me away



Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time

And I don't understand the things I do

The world outside looks so unkind

And I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through



Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away



Won't you take me away



And when my mind is free

You know your melody can move me

And when I'm feelin' blue

The guitars come through to soothe me



Thanks for the joy you've given me

I want you to know that I believe in your song

And rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony

You helped me along, you're makin' me strong



Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away



Won't you take me away



Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Give me the beat boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away



Won't you take me away

I am so sorry to all of you on the loss of Mom/Peggy. You all are an incredible and strong family.

To my dearest Gammy (that is how you used to write my cards),

I want to thank you for not only being the most wonderful grandmother, but also my best friend. I'll miss coming home to a kitchen smelling of your wonderful cooking. I'll miss laying in bed with you as we try to figure out the People magazine crossword puzzles. I'll miss our late night talks, but most of all, I'll miss you. I'll love you forever, and you will always be in my heart. Thank you for making me a better person. Love, Ash XOXOXO

Peg,

I'll always remember how selfless and giving you were to my mom. Here's to the two of you chatting things up in heaven. You were my closest ally and bestest break partner during the long-lost Winsberg days...

All my love,

Marty G.

Peggy Sue and Family: I'm so deeply sorry about the loss of your Mom. My mom, Paul and I really enjoyed the beautiful mass that your family planned and hearing your heartfelt speech. I always felt welcome in the O'Malley house. I'm here for you anytime you want to talk or need a shoulder.



Love ya,

Peggy Sue and Family:

Love,

Jackie (McMahon) Floan

Dear Aunt Peggy,

It was a beautiful day to day and I was running around doing my stuff and thinking about the past five days. I know how proud you were of all your kids and Uncle Kevin. They bravely walked you to heaven. You are on my mind 24/7 and I cannot get over all the Aunt Peggy-ism I have held in my heart as I am sure we all have. I will miss you greatly and I hold you in my heart always. When we gather for occassions you will be there with all of us. I love you. Love, Kitty

We are so very sorry for your loss. We always felt she was a classy lady and treated us with kindness. She will be missed deeply.

God bless you all.

We will see you when we return in May.

Our sincere condolences on your loss.

Thank you for everything Gammy. You were my best friend. I always knew that I could talk to you about anything while having a cup of tea. You made the best brownies and spaghetti. I love you a lot.

Dear Aunt Peggy,



So many memories growing up of staying in your home, and having so many laughs with you, my beautiful cousins, and Uncle Kevin.

I am so sorry for the long struggle you endured and know that you fought hard. Please know that having known you has made all of us better...

Dear Peggy Sue and Family,

I feel for you during this time of your mother's death. I know how hard it is to lose someone you love so dearly.

Betty Ann

To All of You,
What heartbreak I feel
over the passing of Auntie Pegs. It is said "you can't lose anyone or anything of value without being sad." I cherish my memories and the love I received. She loved unconditionally always making me feel so special.It took 40plus years to find out she touched eveyone that way. What a gift! I will always feel blessed to have been allowed to have had her in my life,and I will hold her very close to my heart. Your devotion to your Mother during her illness showed her the same type of love she gave to so many. I know she would of been proud of you all.
Lots of Love,(your mom always signed this way)
Josie

Auntie Peggy,

I always looked forward to seeing you,Uncle Kevin and the cousins at family parties. You were always so loving to all.You will be missed by so many.Uncle Kevin and cousins, our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. We love you very much.Love, Katie

Dear Aunt Peggy, We loved you so very much. You were such a dear Aunt to us. Always looked forward to seeing you and Uncle Kevin, and cousins. We had so many wonderful times together. Thank You Aunt Peggy for all the happy times. Never,never will we forget you. Love, Joanie and Nancy

Memories of Aunt Peggy.....always felt good to have her in your corner, full of support with her knowing smile - she's there for you, sharpest dresser, the best scones and I regret not getting the recipe now, so fun and comfortable to drop over and visit at the O'Malley home and fun to have her come over and visit me, loved her family and they were constantly on her mind, her thoughtful cards, just a great aunt who was a buddy too that I loved very much. We're all going to miss her. I feel a big, empty hole and know everyone else does too.

Dear Kevin, It has been a long struggle for Peggy. While you and your family stood by I hope you felt the prayers from your friends and family. Peggy was a wonderful wife and mother and that's not easy with a police officer's schedule. Together you raised a fine family. God bless you and bring comfort to your hearts. Semper Fidelis!

Dearest Auntie Peggy, You are truly wonderful to think about! We'd all look forward to seeing you because you were always so much fun! Your kindness will always be remembered. You are beautiful and we love you!!! Cousins and Uncle Kevin: We love you so much and mourn with you. Cousin Jane

Kevin & Family,

God Bless you all. Me and Lucy have had you in our prayers and will continue to do so.

It is so hard to say so long to such a wonderful mom and friend. It is great to know that you are "now in the palm of his hand". God bless you "Peg-Of-My Heart" and your wonderful family. You will be missed.

janet,larry,bo, and peggysue,words cannot express my sadness for your loss.take comfort in knowing she is definitely in a better place and one day we will all be reunited with so many who have left us here on earth.my thoughts and prayers are with you all now and always. peace maureen

To the O'Malley family:

I'm so sorry that I will be out of town for the visitation and funeral. My deepest sympathies to you all. Lillian (Jane's friend)

Aunt Peggy was an Angel on earth, always full of kindness and encouragement. Aunt Peggy was a pillar in our large, extended Irish family and will be missed by many. We share warm and wonderful memories of a beautiful person. To the O'Malley family, know that many share you sorrow and I hope time and friends can ease your pain. Love, Cousin Jack.

Auntie Peggy, you were so loving to all. I can hear your voice as I picture your face. "Hi John, how are the kids?" "For God sake Kevin" Raising all those children was tough but you did a great job. So many are here now because of you. They will live for you and honor you for years and years to come. To my Unlce Kevin and my cousins. I feel for you at this time and can tell you that while you grieve for Auntie Peggy, you should also be greatful to have had such a lovely person in your lives. She was truly a treasure and will always be in your hearts and thoughts. That can never be taken away. Love John.

Mrs. O'Malley,

You were an inspiration to all who knew you. I am so appreciative for the way you welcomed me into your family and will never forget the salmom patties you made me for my birthday many, many moons ago!! Your beauty and grace outshines everyone else! Love, Kelly

Peggy Sue and the rest of the O'Malley family, there is an adage which says that "grief cannot be hurried, but it can be shared." Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love You Peg.

Mom, we miss you already more than we could have ever imagined. Your strength, courage and grace is an inspiration to us all. You did an incredible job of loving each of your 6 children the most. We love you, the most beautiful mom ever.
