Dear Cousins, Frank and Craig (and the entire Riston Family)
My deepest sympathies to you and yours.
Many years have passed since seeing you and Peggy, though dad kept me posted on her health. I know she is at last at peace. I will always remember her fondly, and keep you in my prayers. Donna "Parks" Gerard

Peggy was my mother-in-law for 14 years and I loved her dearly. She was kind, gentle, loving, caring, sensitive, compassionate, and her family meant the world to her. I was truly blessed to have known her and had her in my life. She was a cherished mother-in-law and a devoted grandmother to my two sons, Craig and Curt. There will always be a special place in my heart for her and I will miss her forever. My deepest condolences to the Riston family.
