I love you, pegge

This last posting regarding 'I love you a bushel & a Peck' brought up another memory. A year ago, come January, my sister, Pegge Smith died. It was a very heart wrenching moment. I remember being at her bedside in a hospital in Nacadoches, Texas. She had suffered a massive heart attack in the parking lot of the hospital. She & her husband, Marshall lived several miles away from this hospital. By the time Barbara & Edwin (my sister & brother in law from south dakota) & I arrived in Texas, she was already on 'life support'. I could not believe 'how she looked'..swollen, non responsive, swaying her head back & forth like she was wanting to communicate, but, really 'nothing there'....so, I just sang to her..................................I love you, a bushel and a peck........................
