My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. My childhood years are filled with memories of being at your house. Your mom was a warm and loving woman. She always seemed to be able to do everything; a woman of many talents. My family was fortunate to have had your mom for a neighbor and friend on Ninth Avenue.

Sending my deepest sympathy to all family members on the loss of such a wise and wonderful woman. Peggy was a loving neighbor to my family when we lived in Flint. I recall playing kickball at her house with Suzanne and Diane, and babysitting Bethany when she was small. She was a genuine first class lady and I know she will be missed by all who knew her. Heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

Your mother was a great lady. She was a positive influence on our family growing up. I often remember Peggy and my mother talking at the house when I was young. Loving thoughts and prayers are sent your way.

There are no words to express how much I am going to miss Peggy. Traveling with Peg was not just a trip but an adventure, from zip lines in the mountains and jungles in Costa Rica, hot air balloon riding over the Massi Mara in Africa, exploring frozen tundra near the Artic Circle to see polar bears, and riding on Harleys with tour guides into the hinterland of Australia are just a few of the exciting things we did. We laughed till our sides hurt when recounting memories of our excursions. ...
