My Mom- I love you more than you could ever know. Next time I see you we’ll have perfect new bodies. Enjoy the heavenly reward you so richly deserve. I miss you already.
My dearest Aunt. My earliest memories are filled with your contagious laugh and strength of character. You will be forever missed and loved until we are all joined in eternal life.
Uncle Joe, Joey, Stevie, Billy and precious Julie please accept my deepest condolences. I so wish I could be there to celebrate Aunties life with you. Love you all.
I miss you Gege! I’m glad you’re home with Jesus enjoying a new body and the light of His face!
I am sorry, I am praying for all of you.
She was the Naomi to my Ruth. I learned so much from her, especially about Rizkallah men lol. She will be dearly missed but it’s not goodbye it’s see you later in Heaven. Praise God she’s with him free of pain, sorrow and suffering and eternally praising him wrapped on pure joy and the love of God.
I love you mom! See you in a while.
I will always remember her as being a kind welcoming and funny lady! She loved her car racing and her Yankees! And she made some pretty good pasta sauce! She is now in our Lords home playing with Pooh Bear, Misty and my kitty Custard. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I am sorry for the loss of Peg, I used to always enjoy our conversations and waking up every morning with a long email from her to start my day. Sue let me know. of her passing
There are lots of things I could say and I’m not prepared to say them all here and now, but I miss you so much and I love you more than you know! You loved fiercely and unconditionally and I will keep the memories of time with you close to my heart. I love you, Gege!
We were so sorry to hear of Aunt “Peg’s” passing. We hope you find peace and comfort in all the good memories she gave to all of us. We pray you are blessed with strength knowing her pain and suffering has left her while God took her gently in His arms.
Aunt Peggy was a wonderful lady. Always willing to add in a quip, laugh and thought on a subject. I loved that she shared her mind but had a way to do it that was loving yet bold. Hugs and prayers to all my cousins and their families and Uncle Joe. May God bring those memories to your minds and hearts and bring you peace.
Big hugs n prayers to all. Will never forget how kind she was to my Michelle n camping n church n just being good friends. She’s with Jesus.
