My deepest condolences! I believe Mrs Peggy has lit our hearts even though she passed away from us. So precious, kind-hearted and warm lady left this world, although I sincerely believe she didn’t really leave because she will always stay with us in the sweetest memories as a gorgeous, noble and honoured pedagog, helpful sincere friend and beloved mother. Mrs Peggy was from the people who bring only goodness, benignancy, righteousness, equity and use to this world. She was the greatest ever person I have met. Can’t recover from this loss. The dearest people never leave us, they stay forever in our hearts!

Dear Starla – We are so sorry for your loss. Your Grandmommy seemed like an amazing woman. You have our deepest sympathies and are in our prayers.
It’s been a year already since God called you home, but it still doesn’t seem real. Life has not been the same, but we know you are surrounded by love. Turquoise colors stand out more and sometimes I have dreams of you standing there with open arms to give us those great hugs we all miss. You will be forever missed and loved! Kisses and hugs XOXO
