Shirley, Bud, Megan, and all Peggy's Family, I wish I could be there. Peggy was always in my thoughts and she will be missed very much by me. I always loved the surprise on her face when ever she saw me coming by to say hi at work or at her home. We had a lot of good times and I will never forget the Thanksgivings I had with all of you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
