I am so sorry to hear about Peggy. She was a good person and will be missed by so many.

January 6, 2017

Peggy was my surrogate mother while I lived in Middletown, Ohio, between 1973 and 1979. She had gone to school with my mother, yet she had so many qualities I wish my mother had possessed: a nurturing soul, a warm heart, a positive spirit, a broad mind, and a good sense of humor about herself and the foibles of the world. I adored her.
