Friends,
Peggy has been gone for nearly 15 months, but most days it still feels like she died yesterday! I can’t imagine ever loving anyone the way I love her. I can’t remove my wedding ring, because I still feel married. I suspect it will always be so. Peggy is the only woman I have ever truly loved. We had a lifetime of incredible love; but I never dreamed that the pain of missing her would be so intense. I beg God every day to reunite us in heaven soon. Life without Peggy is devoid of the warmth she made me feel every day. Nevertheless, I appreciate the love and concern my family and friends express for me!

Peggy has been in heaven for over a year now, but it still feels like she died yesterday. She was and is the love of my life. The world is not the same without her and I ask God every day to reunite us soon. I cannot even imagine loving anyone else the way I did and do love her. We had, and I still have, wonderful friends who do their best to make life better for me, but when I shut down the house at night my mind always drifts back to memories of Peggy. It sometimes takes me two hours to fall asleep. I know that at some point I will learn how to accept her absence, but I don’t think that will be any time soon. We shared 62 years together and I know God has promised that he will reunite us in heaven, but I don’t know if that will be tomorrow or ten years from tomorrow! I can only pray it will be soon!

Thanks to all of you wonderful people who loved Peggy for sharing your thoughts with me. She has been gone for nearly three and a half months, but it still seems like she passed yesterday. Someone asked me yesterday if I would consider dating other women. My response was that God only knows, but for sure it will not be for a very long time, if ever. I still wear my wedding ring because I still feel married to Peggy. The only thing that has changed is that she is now in heaven, waiting for me to join her. I pray every day that God will not wait too long to reunite us in heaven. She is the only woman I have ever loved. We did almost everything together for 62 years and it feels unnatural to be in this world without her. Please keep me in your prayers!

Peggy will ALWAYS be remembered. Her strength and love will be with me forever. Every time I put a ‘sticker’ on a card, I will smile and think of her, as I know she enjoyed them. She could make me laugh so easily and when I would see her, my heart would smile. It was truly a blessing to visit with both of you in your home and see the true love you two shared. I thank God for the special time to hold her hand and be with both of you during her last hours. Truly a time I will treasure forever. We know she is watching over you and all of us from Heaven now, and what a glorious day it will be when we see her again. Many hugs and prayers to you Dear Don. Blessings Always!

I met Peggy at Calvary Chapel Viera. I remember seeing her in the lobby, and in various activities. She seemed to be a very caring person concerned about making sure that things were done with love for the Lord. I didn’t know her for very long but she made an impression on me. Prayers, blessings, comfort, and love to you Don.

Dear Don I am so saddened to hear about the loss of Sweet dear Peggy. I spent so much time studying the word with her in our precepts class and volunteering with her at Calvary. I so loved being around her. She was such an encouragement to me and always made me laugh. We had fun in class and serving together. She so loved our Lord and I know that she is rejoicing with our Jesus. Jerry and I are keeping you in our prayers. Much love to you ♥️

Dear Don, I just heard the news that Peggy has gone home to be with Jesus. My heart is so sad for you and the loss we all feel. She was so very special. I didn’t know her very well, but adored her just the same. May God give you comfort as you as you grieve the loss. I know it’s like someone cut out part of your heart and half of your body when you lose your long time spouse. The God of all comfort, who is infinitely wise, is where we find our strength and joy and peace beyond understanding. I look forward to seeing your smiling face again around church soon. Billy and I will be praying for you!

Peggy I have missed you for the last year and a half at BAAB. We were such a team for 15 years, and I will miss your beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor. You are happy in the arms of Our Lord now, and can look down on Don and all of us and be our guardian angel. Your presence has been and will always be missed at BAAB.

Don, there are no words to say that will make your heart feel better. Only God can do that through His love for you. As deeply saddened as we are, we know the angels are rejoicing.

We are so blessed to have known Peggy, she will be greatly missed. You’re in our thoughts, always in our hearts and will remain in our prayers.

Peggy was a true joy and amazing woman. She always had a kind word and filled me with faith and encouragement. I remember the day she cried when she found out we were moving and I was so touched and loved by it. Peggy and Don were two of the most joyful people I have been privileged to meet. She will be missed greatly.

One of the sweetest women I will ever know. The love, smiles and sincere encouragement she gave me will always be with me. I’m sure she would tell me to not cry fir her but to rejoice that she is dancing and welcoming others in heaven. Still my heart is heavy knowing that many more are missing out on her impact. Love you Don. See you soon.

Peggy will be missed by so many. She was a joy to be around and showed me the ropes of the information center. Her specialty was making you feel at home. So graceful and funny she was always had a smile and a laugh for you. She was a faithful servant for the Lord and a great example for us all. My prayers and thoughts continue for your family.

Don, our heart breaks with yours. We really don’t have words to express how much we will miss Peggy’s joy. I still remember when I met you both — in line at the airport in 2004 on our way to visit Israel! We have the promise of Heaven for Peggy — she is healed and we will see her again. May the peace of God supernaturally comfort you as only He can. We love you.
