Your mother was a wonderful woman, and so beautiful. I have fond memories of Margaret and Paul. Dave and Helen Story were my Uncle and Aunt (My mother, Lorraine was married to Don Campbell, Helen's brother.) We were both teachers and I would have loved to share our similar experiences. She was smart, funny and kind.
Helen and Dave's daughter, Sue Emwright, sends her love to your family. She lives in Seattle and we have remained close.
Love and blessings to you, your family and your wonderful and handsome father, Paul.

Peggy, you are one of the favorite people of my life. I was always so envious of your enormous talent, and in so many areas. You always had Jan Cooper and I laughing. And, yes, even if we had known 'how old you were', we would still have been friends with you, and loved you. I am so lucky to have been able to call you a friend and spent such fun times together. I shall keep you in my heart always with a smile on my face. (:-)- Sherry Grosso

My mother was a sweet lady with a passion for life. She was the best baker I've ever met, and loved to master a new craft every year or so. She will be greatly missed.
