Our fondest and most cherished memory of Peggy was when our family first moved next door to her and Bob.  They were kind enough to offer UNLIMITED access to their pool.  That was where all 5 of the Ortiz sisters first learned to swim :).  As we grew up and had our own families, Peggy's genuine hospitality and open invitation was still extended to our children.  On behalf of the entire Ortiz family, we will never forget you Peggy. May you find peace and happiness with Bob, poolside in heaven.

I am writing this to honor my grandmother Peggy Harris. Even though we are of many different ages and have all kinds of jobs and interests, had many different goals and aspirations in life, it is certain that we all have one thing in common:  our admiration, love, and respect of a grandmother, an aunt , a mother, a friend, a family member, a mother who never quit and was truly selfless. 

We all know something else about My grandmother Peggy. She did not just look around and see things that need attention. She took action. She truly showed us compassion when we needed it, love when we felt we lost it, and hope when we ourselves gave up hope to move forward in life.
We all see the same things that My grandma Peggy sees. And as we look at those and think about our busy lives, we most likely say to ourselves:

My grandmother was a person who does something.

She saw possibilities where the rest of us saw need.

She saw opportunity where the rest of us saw problems.

She did not say, Let somebody else do it.  she said, I will take that on.

She said "be yourself and love yourself"

All of my grandmothers talks and her enthusiasm gave the rest of us what we needed most  and that was passion for life, and compassion for others.

 I love you and miss you and cherish all the memorable moments we have shared together on this earth. I cannot wait to see you again and I know you will be looking over me. 

You will truly be missed each moment of the day. 
Your grandchild.

Forever in my heart Grandma-will love you always.
