No matter the age of a person, the final goodbye is always sad. They will be with us no longer on this earthly journey.
Our family was a small one. My father and mother each only had one brother. Since my mother’s brother lived a long way from us , Aunt Peggy was the aunt that we really got to know. She was a woman with style who took pleasure in making “girl” things for her nieces so my sister, Kim, and I benefited from her skill. My first memory of time with Aunt Peggy was when she and her husband did a child swap with my parents. My family took my cousin, Garry on a camping trip with them and I got to stay with my aunt Peggy and uncle Dean at their home in Calgary. I remember playing with my other cousin, Murray, in his tent in the backyard and I remember Aunt Peggy enjoying trying to style my very short hair into a ducktail in their bathroom! On the leading edge of hair styles at 6.
I have so many happy memories of our family times together. Calgary was a favourite place to visit because of Aunt Peggy and Uncle Dean
A generation is passing and the circle of life moves on. Big hugs to Garry and Mickey and Murray and Marilyn and all those grandchildren whom Aunt Peggy loved so much.
