My dear Aunt Peggy, I love you so much and will miss you forever. I am so lucky I got to hang out with you on your front stoop last summer. So lucky to have seen you right before this nightmare pendemic but most of all so lucky to have you as my beloved aunt. I will never forget your laugh and sense of humor and love for animals. Love you Aunt Peggy, Laurie
