Peggy was my best friend starting when we both lived at Seton Manor. I loved hearing about her life and she was a good listener too. We used to sit in the gazebo and talk on nice days. She was so nice to my daughters and my great-granddaughter. She will be missed so much.

Sandra and Fred: I remeber Peggy fondly as a friend of my Mom, Charlotte Burton, as I was growing up. I know it is hard now; but remember GOD is in control, and you will be with her again one day. love, Glenda
