Please send us your stories!

Hi friends and family of Peggy,
 
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of this tough but encouraging journey with our mom and family. Thank you to all of you who came to celebrate Peggy's life with us a few weekends ago and thank you for continuing to pray for all of us during this time. We know that many of you flew from across the country and globe, so thank you again.
 
As we have been reflecting back on everything, we realized that there is SO much more about our mom that we don't know in terms of how she's touched so many of ya'll in a personal way. After hearing a few stories from some of you either at the memorial service or afterwards, we were SO touched and moved -- and so much more amazed at how much she truly gave of herself to those around her no matter who you were. It made us really want to know EVEN more about our mom and the life she lived, not just for our own knowledge, but also so that we may share these stories about her with our own kids and their kids in the future and so on...
 
We are asking you all as her beloved friends and family, to please share with us her story in your own life, and how she has loved you or impacted you personally (including those of you who shared at the memorial service or who wanted to but couldn't). This is very open, so please feel free to share whatever is on your heart. Also, please feel free to write in your own native language whether it be in Chinese or English.
 
You may either :
1) email us your story about her to prayingformom[ a t ]gmail.com
 
OR 
 
2) if it's easier to handwrite it, you can mail your story/letter/pictures to our address.  You can email us above if you need our mailing address.
 
We plan on posting all of your stories on the blog as they come throughout the weeks. We know that many, many, people across the U.S. and world have been reading mom's blog and have been so touched by her story from just reading about her. (If you look at the cluster maps on the right side of the blog you can see all the people who read it from all over the world!)
 
We also plan on creating a scrapbook of all of your stories so that we can share them with future generations of our family.  
 
We invite you all to be a part of continuing on our mom's legacy that is in Christ!
 
Love,
Morris, Simon, Faye, Gene, Sharon, Matthew, and Mariella
