Tribute to my Aunt Peggy.

She loved life. Her smile was contagious. I'm so grateful for the time I got to spend with my sweet Aunt. She was fun and brave. She did slip and slide at my kids birthday. Loved her so much. Uncle Jerry was the love of her life and they are finally together. I will miss her so much. My heart is broken but God called her home. Aunt Peggy you were loved by so many. We will be together again ❤️Love you forever.

Missing you

Dear Aunt Peggy,

My heart is shattered, We have become soo close over the last 5 months. Visiting you was the highlight of my days. I loved cooking for you, playing Old Maid with you, brushing your hair, getting you outside for some fresh air, shopping for you, decorating your room, and bringing you your favorite milkshake. I wasn't ready for you to go, because our relationship had just begun. I'm sure you are happy with being with Uncle Jerry, and Karen, but life will never be the same without you. Until I see you again, you will forever be in my heart.

Aunt Peggy

Aunt Peggy, Heaven gained a precious Angel when your Heavenly Father called you home Saturday.  I'm not sure if Heaven has a slip-n-slide or not (inside joke),.... you'll have to work that out with your Heavenly Father.

Aunt Peggy had a zest for life, second to none.  When she looked at you, you felt her love embrace you.  When she loved you... her love was unconditional and forever.  She was witty, funny, kind hearted, and could be unfiltered in a spontaneous funny way.  To know her was to love her.

Peggy's presence would fill a room.  She filled my heart with her love.  That heart is broken, but I rejoice that she is at peace with the Lord, and with the absolute love of her life, Uncle Jerry.

Family is everything!  

Until we meet again, Aunt Peggy.  I will forever love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
