The memories she made with each and every one of them will be cherished for ever. Peggy has asked “please don’t cry because I’m gone; instead be happy that I was here. Its ok to cry just a little as I did pass away. Always remember all of our good times and keep me in your hearts. My love and memories for all of you will be with me for eternity. Today I am happy, I am no longer sick or in pain. Thank you for the memories. You truly made my life complete. In you’re hearts I hope I remain, that special memory that puts a smile upon your face. Always remember you will see me in your dreams”.

Peggy’s last wishes were to have a memorial where all her family and friends would come and rejoice about her life. She wished that everyone would try to be happy, wear bright colors and share their love of God for her and her family.
