Peggy was a loyal, kind soul and will be missed by all who knew her. She always went out of her way to make others comfortable, and her sense of humor was infectious.
A very special thank you to Ramona Sytsma, who was like a daughter to Peggy. Ramona, you were always there in times of need, and we could not be more grateful for your unwavering support.
We are comforted in knowing that Peggy has gone home to Anna and Tom.
We will miss your presence but will always carry you in our hearts forever and a day.
A celebration of life will be planned in the future.
