Peg Bullen

Auntie Peg was the matriarch of our family, and we are still in shock that she's gone from us. It always seemed like she'd be here forever, and now she's gone it's like the centre has gone from our family.

This was read by my cousin at her funeral:

When I Must Leave You

When I must leave you for a little while,
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
