Pepper touched my life briefly but memorably. On a weekend visit with Charli in Minneapolis, she was amazed that I had never had a massage. Enough said. No stone left unturned, Pepper made a booking. Sunday morning with Miss Strong and Sturdy… I know through the incentive business how very much she is loved and respected, and am so pleased to have known her and laughed with her. My condolences to the family she treasured.

To all of Peppers’ family my heartfelt sympathy. Pepper had the wonderfull ability to make any ordinary day a unique experience. I have many fond memories of our shared living while vacationing in Florida, from her always scrumptious meals to many a hillarious outing. She is kept alive through all the many lives she touched and the fond memories we all carry of her. Sincerely, Carol

Pepper will always be in my heart. I am so sad to see such an vibrant, kind, beautiful, compassionate person leave us. I have known Pepo my entire life and love and cherish every memory I have of her. Even when I was a tiny toddler she made me laugh and snuck cookies for me…sometimes at 2am when I came knocking. She was so full of love and life. She had a beautiful light and her amazing presence was felt when she entered a room. Pepper I love you and my whole family will miss you deeply.
Love, Jenna Huson and Family
