It is tempting to think ofeternity and eternal life assomething which happens

after our deaths. But if weconsider that eternity is simplythe boundless infinity of time,then it follows that now (thepresent moment, and indeedevery moment, past, present, andfuture) is an integral part ofeternity. We are all living ineternity right now and need notwait for our deaths to haveeternal life. If you are not livingeternally now, that is, living a lifefocused on the eternal values oflove, justice, and spirituality, whatmakes you think that things willchange after your death? None ofus really knows what it will belike after our deaths, and perhapsthe experience of death will betransformational in a way that wecannot imagine, but nonethelessnow is the time to start livingeternally. One way to do that is to

live fully in the present moment.The philosopher Wittgensteinsaid that “If we take eternity tomean not infinite temporalduration but timelessness, theneternal life belongs to those wholive in the present. Our life hasno end in just the way in whichour visual field has no limits.”Living in the present, beingmindful of the endless successionof present moments, withoutworrying about the future orregretting the past is a difficultthing to do, but it can make ahuge difference in the quality ofour lives. Start living eternallynow, thanking God for your lifeand where you are right now. –Christopher Simon

“Look to this day, for it is life,the very life of life.” –Ancient Sanskrit Poem

The Eternal Now

Mary Margaret “Peg-gy” Stine, 74, passed away Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021, after a brave battle with cancer. Peggy was born to Howard Dennis Votaw and Phoebe Ann Brooks of Willisburg, Ky., June 28, 1947, and was adopted by George Carl Stine, Sr. and Mae Maude (Thompson) Stine of Lebanon, Ky.

Peggy attended St. Charles School and graduated from St. Au-gustine High School. She gave birth to a son, James Philip Stine, who was adopted as Stephan James Drexler via Catholic Charities. Peggy married James Bartholomew “Bud” Mattingly, Jr. and had two sons, James Carl and John Frederick Mattingly. She later married the second love of her life, Harold Eu-gene Gaylor, to whom she is widowed.

While being a moth-er and homemaker, Peggy pursued her life-long dream of becom-ing a nurse. First, as a licensed practical nurse (LPN), graduating from Danville School of Prac-tical Nursing, and then as a registered nurse (RN) from Midway College. Her nursing career began in her teen years taking her through adulthood working in hospitals, nursing homes and in-home health care. Oth-er than being a nurse, Peggy was most proud of her family as geneal-ogy was her forte. Nev-er meeting a stranger, she knew many fam-ily lines, often able to recall, without notes, a person’s family tree. This skill paved the way for Peggy to connect with her biological par-ents, siblings and first-born child. When not working as a nurse or researching genealogy, she was an avid crochet and needle crafter. She enjoyed gifting hand-made potholders, tissue covers, blankets and afghans to loved ones. Other times, Peggy, af-fectionately known as the “Asphalt Kid,” could be found clocking miles in her car. She never missed a chance to hit the road, always behind the wheel, to go visit, out to eat or just drive around and see what the neighbors had new. It was no secret how much Peggy loved the telephone. She was al-ways just a phone call away and could talk

for hours on end. She always loved her dogs and cats. From Cleo and Tess Trueheart to Black Beauty, Pinky and oth-ers, they were her four-legged fur-babies she snuggled, hugged and kissed.

Peggy is preceded in death by her biological and adoptive parents, spouses and six siblings: Robert Edward “Bob” (Margaret Jane Austin) Stine, James Gerald “Jerry” Stine, Joseph Anthony “Tony” Stine, John Frederick “John-ny” Stine, Allen Powell (Helen Isabel Wheat-ley) Stine, George Carl (Drucilla Mann) Stine, Jr., Alma Fern “Sr. Mary Dominic, O.P.” Stine and Dorothy Marie “Wee Wee” Stine (Edwin C.) Wollen.

Survivors include: three sons, Stephan Drexler of Louisville, Carl (Holly Dyer) Mat-tingly of Seymour, Ind., and Fred (Greg Breden-kamp) Mattingly of In-dianapolis, Ind.; four siblings, Deana (C. Lee ) Kemp, Billie Woods, Ray (Cindy) King and Roy (Cheryl) King all of Jacksonville, Fla.; four grandchildren, Jessica (Ben) Riley, Patrick (Courtney) Mattingly and Emily Mattingly all of Springfield, and Jeremy Dyer of Louis-ville; two great-grand-children Bentley and Oaklee Riley; three sisters-in-law Patricia Ann “Patsy” (Weather-ford) Stine of Louisville, Mary Lou (Osbourne) Stine of Lebanon, and Gertrude “Gert” (Braun) Stine of Ba-kersfield, Calif., along with many nieces and nephews.

A funeral mass and celebration of life will be held at a later date. Cremation was chosen and arrangements by Cowherd and Parrott Funeral Home, with ashes retained by fam-ily. www.cowherdan-dparrott.com
