Not sure what to say?

Peggy introduced me to pizza, ballet, a love for gardening and "Peg time". The Kansas City clan will miss her presence at family functions.

Hello Bob and family from friend of 50 years ago. I first met Peggy at The Sun Herald in Kansas City in 1952, and later valued your friendships, along with Adolph Schalk and other friends you introduced me to at Friendship House and Peter Maurin House.
