Carol, Mark and Mike,
I know it's not a coincidence that your Mom passed one day after mine. A lady told me the other day that when we go someone comes to get us or we take someone with us. I saw your Mom at the hospital a month or so ago when we all gathered for my Mom. We were able to talk about a bit there and I'm so glad I was able to see her then.

Peggy was always kind and gracious to me, and often surprised me by being interested in what was going on in my life. The last time I spoke with her was a couple of Thanksgivings ago when she called to check on my mom. We had the nicest conversation, and I so appreciated that she cared enough to call.

Carol, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Peggy was such a role model for me as a yong lady growing up in the church. Always a hug an a inspiring speech as to why I need to come to church more often. She will be greatly missed. You and your family are in my thoughts at this sad time.
