I met Peggy several years ago when I came with our mutual friends Larry and Carla Bowers to Apollo Beach. Peg always made us laugh and entertained us wherever we went together. I will miss her funny remarks and antics and will meet her again some day entertaining us all in heaven. Sincerely, Linda Schroer

Dear Aunt Peg, I will really miss you more than you would ever imagine. I am sad that I have lost another member of my family. You were always there for me in your heart and someone I could talk without being judged. I know you are in a good place and not suffering. I am saddened that I did not get the chance to say goodby. I will always remember you by your laugh and smile when we joke together. Love Jerry
