Pugh, of Dallas, passed away July 6, 2005, at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Our mother’s love was some- thing that we cannot explain. It is made of deep devotion, and of sacrifice and pain. Her love is endless and unselfish, and enduring, come what may. Nothing will destroy it, or take her love away. She was patient and forgiving, when all others are forsaking. She never failed or faltered, even though her health was failing. She dreamed beyond dreaming, when the world around con- demns. Her love glowed with all the beauty, of the rarest and brightest gem. Her love remains a secret, like the mys- teries of creation. She will live on forever in our hearts, while in God’s tender guiding hand. We love you and we will miss you, Mom, Mimi, and Gram. Jeanne was a loving mother and grandmother and dedicat- ed her entire life to helping those around her. She not only loved her family, but also held a special place in her heart for her animals, not only the cats she took in as strays, but also the birds, deer, turkey, and squirrels in the wild. So if one day you are sitting around thinking of her, toss an apple outside or hang a bird feeder, because anyone that knew her knows nothing would make her happier than knowing her animals are cared for. She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Cindy Urban of Shavertown; and son, Alan Pugh of Dallas; along with her five grandchildren, Rachael, Adrienne, Alan, Jr., Michael, and Christopher; brothers, Francis Lambert of Edgewater, Fla.; and Michael Lambert of Plattsburgh, NY.
