Peggy’s title at birth was Peggy Jones. She was my big sister and had to look after us, after all she was the oldest and therefore in command; there is not enough space on this page to go into details of the memories created during those years but that’s ok, memories last forever. After Peggy Jones she married and became Peggy Bird and then District Guide commissioner, oops mustn’t forget becoming MUM to four lovely kids in between times. At this stage we lived in the same building, owned by our Grandfather and made into flats which was pretty good…”I’m going shopping Peg, want any bread?” “Not today. I’ll have the kettle on when you get back”. When Julie was born at home, Peg was a proud supporter as I grunted during delivery and later guided me through bathing my baby’s eyes. Later of course she was given many names of which I am sure she was proud to own. Mother Superior/Nanny/Potty Peg and Big Sis to name the ones I know of.
On Monday the 5th I will celebrate from afar as we all join together in remembering this special lady who has been, and still remains, part of us all.
