So sorry for your loss. I will always treasure my youth as a child growing up in Athol. We always had so much fun just being kids. In school and out of school. I will always remember Peggy as being young and full of life because all my memories are from that time. You will be missed.

Peggy and I had many adventures in the old Rambler she had, taking roads we weren't even sure were roads. She was a dear forever friend.

To All of Peg's family- Your family is being thought about and wished much comfort in the days and weeks to come. I hope the thought of she and Bob being reunited will bring you some peace and comfort. I'm remembering the many times I was at Peg and Bob's pool with the Baxter Girls and how welcoming they were.6
