I didn't know Peggy, except through Rochelle. To bring up a daughter to become such a good, kind and generous person is a fine legacy, in itself.

We are never more alive than in the hearts of those we have loved and whose love we have earned. Live on, Peggy.

My heartfelt sympathy for your loss. May your memories bring comfort to you.
It's no secret that Peggy worked tirelessly to make life better for all dogs~ that made Austin a better home for all of us. Her light will shine on: "Like the moon and the stars and the sun".
