I was only privileged to have visited with Peg on a few occasions. Through friendship with her daughter Debbie, I felt as though I knew her my entire life. The times I did spend with her she was very kind to me. My most memorable time was the time I was visiting Debbie and we three went to the grocery store together. I didn't know grocery shopping could be so much fun. Peg was good for a laugh.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Dear Aunt Peg,

As a people, we measure the value and importance of a life not by the assets one leaves behind, but by their legacy, the lives of others that have been touched, influenced, and inspired during an all too short earthly journey. If that's true, Aunt Peg, as I'm convinced it is, then surely your life must be deemed both important and significant.

You taught us never to take the world too seriously. You brightened so many days with your smile and with that distinctive laughter which I can hear even as I write to you. You inspired us by example in facing pain and failing health with a positive attitude and a strong will. Most of all, Aunt Peg, you taught us that the words "I love you" can be spoken at any time, in any place, and at any age with sincerity and with the innocence of a school girl.

The story of your life hasn't ended, Aunt Peg. It continues through your four children, on again through their children, and through those of us who were fortunate enough to have known you. I love you, Aunt Peg. I will miss you. I'm comforted only in knowing that after so much pain, you've finally found rest and peace.

Until I see you again for more chocolate cake - Love,

Your nephew,
Jack Taylor - "Jackie" to you!

Well Mom, it has been a year since you went home to our maker. It has been a long year and we all miss you so much. I still want to pick up the phone and talk to you, but then I realize you aren't here. I wish you could be here to see your great grandson Zackary. Some of his faces he makes reminds me of you. I know that you, Dad and Crystal are looking down on all of us and protecting us. I can feel all of you around me when I'm troubled with something. That gives me the comfort that I need and the encouragement to keep on going to strive at what I can do for my family and myself.

I wanted so much for you to be here on my wedding day, but I know that you were with us in spirit. I know how much you loved Stoney and plenty of times I heard from you on how good he was for me. I agree mom he is. I know that one of these days we will all be together again. I know that you wanted to be with Dad, your parents, and to be with your granddaughter. You are all in a better place than us.

I really miss your soups on days like we are having now. I don't believe I'm saying this, but I even miss your yelling at me when I do stupid things. Most of all mom, I really miss you coming for dinner when you didn't feel like cooking or Debbie wasn't having something you liked. I miss the good times and the bad times we had as a family, but we will always keep your memory close to our hearts.

Until we can be together again. I Love you and miss you, mom.

Love, your daughter,
Marge
