I'm so sorry for your loss. Peggy was such a nice person. I grew up with her in Thayer, played with Peggy and the neighborhood girls when visiting my Aunt Doris Marsaglia, Aunt Margaret Gall, and Aunt Marie Gaffney. That goes back a few years but she was a very nice girl. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, sorry for your loss.

I always enjoyed the time I spent with my aunt. When we, her neices, were little she would take us for long bike rides out in the country. Or, take us for car rides and tell us spooky stories about a hanging tree and then pretend to run out of gas...We always had fun. She was brave enough to canoe with me down the Current river, and also take a road trip with me and my kids to Branson. We shared a lot of laughs and some tears. She was a great listener and we quietly held each other up. I will miss her.

To the family, Your mom was a special friend in grade school and high school, I remember going to her house after school and hanging out. My prayers are with you at this time, John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Fathers house are many mansions:if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you,and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. JoAnn Hannon Cain
