To all of Peggy’s Family and friends,
What a significant loss in all your lives. Peggy and Dave were good people and it radiated in everything they did and you can see it in the generations left behind. All that love still visible, what a blessing. Peggy was gift to me and I will truly miss her warmth and candidness that made visiting with her such a pleasure. I do smile a little when I think maybe her and Dave and my dad may be somewhere sharing a beer , telling stories and perhaps a bad joke or two and laughing …….
