Mom, that’s how she treated me. Always allowed me to experience her warmth and compassion. The day she took me to bingo and then the barbecue celebrating my birthday. Something, I will always hold dear. I will miss you physically, but you remain in my mind and heart. I know mom is in heaven doing a Holy Ghost dance… Love You Mom til I get there…
In our minds we always knew
this time would come to pass.
But knowing it, and living it,
has come and gone so fast.
Goodbyes are often hard to say,
they hurt so very much.
though your not gone.
You still remain,
in the minds ,and lives you’ve touched.
Peggy I well miss you and the
Lemon Meringue Pies
LOVE YOUR BROTHER PIERRE
Missing You Sis
I awake each morning to start a new day
But the pain of loosing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do
And as the hours pass I think again of you.
I want to call you and just hear your voice
Then I remember that I have no choice
For you are not there and now my heart cries
Just to see you again to tell you goodbye
To say Peggy I love you and I always will
And hope that much of you, in me you’ve instilled.
The day that you left I just didn’t know
That you were going where I couldn’t go.
And now all my memories of you are so dear
But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry?
It so hard to tell you “Peggy goodbye.”
Someday I know all will be well
And I’ll see you again with stories to tell
Of how you were missed and how we have grown
And how good it is to finally be home.
Until then my memories of you I’ll keep near
And I’ll pass them on to those who are dear.
I miss you Peggy.
Love always, your baby sister, Gayle.
Peggy is knowledge, empathy, and love. While on this earth, she had the power to change lives. Peggy made a difference, embraced everyone with compassion and understanding. Inclusive, never judging, always sharing. No, was not in her vocabulary. Giving more than she accepted. Peggy sacrificed for all. We loved her laugh, the soothing voice that said “I Love You”. How peaceful, calm and comforting she was. Most of all we loved her, and Peggy loved back. Unconditionally! Both of us will continue to live in the spirit of kindness our beloved Aunt gave us. Peggy our Power, Link, Legacy! Peggy was our Angel! Peggy was our Queen!
Thanks for the talks we had. U will be missed along with ur lemon pie. Rest peacefully my sistah.
