Girl Loses Her Mom, Finds Encouraging Letter Mom Wrote Before Death
November 14, 2017

"...Please hug your parents a little closer and never take them for granted because you never know when you could lose them." Hannah started her post.
Hannah's mom, Peggy learned she was battling a rare Stage 4 cancer (Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma) in July 2016. Doctors hoped with chemotherapy and surgeries they would be able to slow the progression of the disease. It took four different chemotherapies before they found one that worked for Peggy's disease. When doctors were able to schedule the surgery, it was already a year later.

That's when she decided that she needed to write her family, just in case. Peggy knew there were so many things she needed to say to her children and husband. She realized that if the surgery didn't work her children would need to have Mom's encouraging words to fall back on. Mom always knows. credit: Facebook/Hannah Summers Peggy did make it through the surgery. However, her body was unable to recover completely and she passed away 4 months later. The letters were read by her family the night that she passed away.before my mom passed she wrote us all letters. this is mine. please hug your parents a little closer and never take them for granted because you never know when you could lose them.

Choosing Her Perspective
There is no doubt that faith played a large factor in Peggy's life outlook. It was faith that gave her peace through the scariest of situations.

Peggy used her love of service and touched so many lives while she was here. Hannah and her siblings knew they had something special."She loved us kids more than words can describe! She was seriously, my best friend! I feel so lucky to have been given this last year to get even closer to her and to really appreciate having her around."Thousands of people responded to Hannah's post which went viral.
