Hi Mom, Heavy thoughts of you on this third anniversary of your passing. Hard to believe its been three years already while I continue to miss you more with each passing day. It doesn’t seem like I’ll ever adjust to your absence or fully accept that you’re gone while my strength is constantly tested. You’ll always be so terribly missed. Love you, Mom and I will see you soon enough.
Hi Mom. It’s been such a different world without your direct presence just like I always knew it would be even many years ago when I would occasionally dread that day when you would have to leave. Sometimes it’s hard to accept how that day has actually came. Anthony, Dick and I along with some of the family will celebrate your wonderful life tomorrow and all of the joy, the happiness, the kindness and immeasurable love that always surrounded you and everyone in your presence. I know you’ll be right there with us too, Mom. I love you and miss you so much.
Hi Mom I’ve been saying how nothing is the same without you here when it’s actually needless to say because of course it’s not and never will be. Eighty one years ago, today you were born and nothing would be the same again after that day either as you brought your beauty and kindness. Into the world and touched so many hearts and where ever you went became a better place to be. I just wanted to say “Happy Birthday”. I miss you mom, I think of you everyday and I love you so very much.
Missing my grandmother greatly. She was a huge part of my early life. Helped me succeed to graduate highschool. Was there in my darkest days. One fond memory my grandmother told me was when I was very young during Valentines, I was supposed to give all classmates individual Valentines cards. Instead, I glued all of them together and gave to my grandmother. I’ll never forget this and I’ll never forget the love she had for me and so many others. Til we meet again, forever in paradise.
Hi Mom I’m so glad Darlene posted these pictures of you. I have been searching for the copies of the same ones but could only find one. You were always just as beautiful on the inside too. I can remember the very day these photos were taken by Darlene at Mills College in Oakland so long ago but seems almost like yesterday. We’ll be bringing you back home soon, Mom. I love you so very much and miss you so terribly.
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words……. Our silver thread of friendship spanned 55 years, not always close, but not ever far. Thank you for sharing your heart with me. Darlene
Aunt Peggy, you will be very missed here but I know where you are and who your with. Standing in heaven before Jesus and with your loved ones who were saved must be a very special feeling. I know Dick Mark and all your grandchildren will miss you very much, I will too. I enjoyed the talks we had mostly about Christ, I know how important it was for you to make sure your children and grandchildren were saved through Jesus Christ. I hope through your loss hear that Any who are unsafe will come to know Jesus. To all of Peggy’s loved ones I know you will miss her but know that she truly is in a much better place. We love you Peggy, love Gilbert
Dear aunt Peggy, you will be miss, I can remember when I was a teenager, I often watch over Mark, you were driving a 70’s Malibu with a dent in the front fender, we stop at Casper’s on mission in Hayward, I open the passenger side door and it made this sound like two cars hitting, everyone around stop what they were doing to look, we laugh and laugh, where we could barely stand, but we went inside and bought that hotdog, we giggle about that for weeks. Funny what silly memorys stay with you.
Peggy was my dearest friend for 58 years, she was the most caring,and beautiful person I have known. She was slow to judge, quick to accept, and loved her children like no other. We had some wonderfully funny moments, like the time the Hayward Police got behind us one night, and followed us for about a mile and then pulled us over, we were both barely driving cars, and she was driving that night, we wondered why he pulled us over, so when we stopped, he looked at both of us, and asked if she knew why he had stopped her, and she said no, and he asked me if I knew why and I said no. He then said “Do you see that little red light on the dash, and what it means, we both said “no”, and he said that means you have your bright lights on and they are blinding all the people coming towards you, and we both started giggling, and he was nice enough to let us continue on if we would turn the bright lights off. You were so special and no one can fill that void, but I will be seeing you soon, Peggy, and we can catch up on everything when I get there. You will no doubt be the one making everyone feel welcome, and assisting them in. Love you, Peggy, and of course, the family. Lea and the Sabean family.
Aunt Peggy I wanted to say Thank You when we laid Grandpa Berry to Rest You had Dick drive me to the resting place and when I was bleeding internally after I came home from the hospital you brought me Home Made Chicken Soup !! I think about it all the time may you rest in peace your with Grandma & Grandpa Berry now Bless you … Pam
