Stan and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Peggy's passing. She was a delightful person and will be missed by all who knew her. She certainly did keep us busy at the library but we enjoyed keeping her with reading material and we always enjoyed her visits! She was a breath of sunshine. She was truly a remarkable person and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to know her. There will always be a special place in my heart with her name on it. God bless you all.
