Peggy,
I was fortunate enough to meet your mother several years ago. She was such lovely woman, and I always enjoyed hearing about her throughout the years. I know how much she meant to you and your family, and I wish you nothing but happy memories right now.

Our memories are many, but one fond one is at Michelle & Jeff’s wedding reception where Peg had such fun on the dance floor! She loved life and lived it well. We send our condolences to you Peggy & Jerry, Pat & John and all your family.
