Maureen, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family for the loss of your mother. Although it's been decades (too many!) I still remember coming out to you house in Sugar Notch (from Ashley) and your mother being so wonderful to me. Take good care.

Dear Maureen and Family,
Sorry to hear about your mom. Peggy was a great lady and we had lots of laughs together. I am also not able to attend the viewing and funeral. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
