We are sorry we can't be with you on Tuesday to share in the many happy memories of Peg. As a six year old living on Queen Anne Hill I was treated to ice cream by Peg and Herb when they were courting. Sue and I will miss her and consider it a blessing to have been a part of her family.

Your mother was an absolutely delightful woman. I had the great gift of knowing her through my mother Helen, and the "retirees' lunch bunch". She will be missed by absolutely everyone who ever knew her. My condolences to her family and friends.
