Dear Claude and family
Peggy was very special to John and I as we met a long time ago in BC and have been friends ever since. We started the line together Peggy as SAC and myself as GAC. She was my Supreme Mom and travelled everywhere. I still love the glasses and the toes tapping. We had a wonderful time with her. She taught me many things which today I certainly have cherished. Peggy left many prints on our lives and we will never forget. She will always remain Sweet in our Memory..My mom Pearl.

Dear Claude and family
May God guide and keep you all at this very sad time. Peggy was a strong vivacious woman who loved the Amaranth but the greatest love she had was for her adored family, who she saw as a true gift to love and cherish.
With our deepest sympathies.
