A lovely soul, may she rest in peace.
We lost a wonderful sister on January 26, 2016. Peggy was a sweet spirit, a generous friend, a dedicated worker and the most wonderful sister. To say she will be missed is an understatement. I have saved her last voice mail to me and listened to it yesterday. I know she is in a better place, in heaven, with her beloved Daddy. I feel honored she was my "Baby Sis". John and Eileen Bull
I will miss my sister, Peggy, more than I can say. Words don't describe her adequately: her sweet spirit, her gentle nature and her great capacity for friendship. She has many wonderful friends that I have met this last week who helped us lay her to rest with dignity and love. She is with Herb, our father, in heaven now, shining that sweet smile to all who meet her. Eileen Bull
I have taken a few days since Peg has passed to think of the right words to describe my "Baby Sis" for this tribute wall. All I can say is I loved her very much. There were times when I, being seven years older, was off doing my own thing, (working, getting married and having children), but Peggy was always "Baby Sis" to my "Big Sis". She would often look at me with a puzzled but loving expression because I was always a little "zany", even rebellious. Peggy was like our father, Herb, quiet, shy at times, responsible, sweet, immensely loving. In the final months, she was stoic in the face of her illness. But when I saw her for the last time, no words were needed. Peggy also loved my husband, John and had an opportunity to talk with him in those last hours. You never know when you may see someone for the last time and all I can say is, I have learned to value your family members each and every day. Always remember to say "I love you". I had asked my sister to talk to me somehow after she passed - the grief was overwhelming that I wouldn't hear her voice again. When we went to take Peggy to her final resting place at the cemetery, as we got out of the car, HUNDRED of sparrows started chirping all at once in the trees! When the service was over, the birds were quiet. My "Baby Sis" is now in heaven and that is great comfort to all who loved her. Eileen Bull
