I am deeply saddened by the news of Peggy's passing. We were close freinds in High School and performed together in Choir and Arts Choral. Peggy will always be remembered as one of the sweetest and happiest and most honest freinds I have ever known. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. God loves you Peggy just as we did.

"Life is a song worth singing" A song that we all sang in high school. We remember Peggy's laugh, smile and friendship. Please accept our deepest condolences...every time we listen to our old high school recordings...we'll think of, and remember our friend Peggy.

Peggy and I were in choir and Arts Chorale together at Stagg High School. Not only did she have one of the best voices, but she was also one of the sweetest people. She will be missed. My prayers and deepest sympathies to her family.
