Only one of a kind women dont make em like you anymore I a man wish I was half as man as you a women gonna be missed by thousands thanks for wisdom you thought me

Nanny,

From the first time I met you. You welcomed me to the family open arms. You hugged and kissed me every time I saw you. Thank you for letting me help Cindy and Laurie take care of you. I have lots of wonderful memories of you over the last 10 months. From you smiling every time I walked in the room to me just standing and watching you and you winking at me with nobody watching. You will dearly be missed Nanny. I love you. And k ow that you are watching over us to keep us safe from Heaven. 

I love you Nanny
John Glasscock

Dear Nanny,

To say I simply miss you already is an understatement. I still cannot accept the fact that you are gone. It's like a bad dream that I keep hoping I'm going to wake up from today. Yet I find comfort in the fact that I know you are in heaven now, watching down on me on my birthday . I feel familiar flashes of your presence everywhere I turn today, watching me and guiding me to get through this day you now lie within my heart.

When I have particularly hard moments of missing you today , I follow the advice a dear friend gave me ; I sit with your memory and embrace it, letting tears roll down my face. I smile and laugh at our countless memories.

You were always more to me than a grandma. You were (and in my book, still are) my best friend. No one in this world will ever understand me the way that you did. I see your smile constantly 

You are the strongest woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and I feel blessed to have had your influence to help shape me into the woman I am today . It is still shaping me, even though you're in a better place now, sunbathing on a cloud as close to the sun as possible.

I find comfort in the fact that you are no longer hurting, no longer in pain and struggling with the fact that you can't clean and take care of us. You taught us how to do for ourselves, even when we didn't feel 100 percent or were simply feeling lazy. You made us laugh until we were in tears at the silliest of things, and most importantly, you taught us to love with all we have in our hearts. To love our God, even in the face of hardship and to love one another, even when one of our family members is being near impossible to love .

There are times when I am going to want to call you to ask you how long to cook corn or to tell you how well my day went, but then I remember, you're there through all of it, giving me the strength to push on and persevere, even when it feels next to impossible.



Forever yours,
Your Grand daughter 
             Laurie

Thank you Peggy for your generous friendship, encouragement, and support when we worked together at Prattville High School in the cafeteria.  I still think about those times and laugh about all the good times we had working together.  I thank God for that he brought you into my life and touched it with you!  I know you will be missed by the many lives you touched throughout your lifetime.  Please tell Jack I said "Hello".  I know you and he are having a wonderful time of rejoicing and reunion.  Rest in the arms of Jesus dear friend.

AUNT PEGGY WAS ONE STRONG LADY ..I WILL MISS HER AND SHE WAS LOVED BY SO MANY PEOPLE...GOD IS BLESSED TO HAVE HER

Moma you will be so missed. I have glad God chose me to be your daughter and to have the wonderful years of the strong love we had. Kiss Daddy and tell him we love him. Til we meet again.

Thank you Peggy for all the good memories we shared while going to church at Crestview Baptist.  Our love and prayers go out to all the family. May God be with all of you. Jim & Connie Parsons
