On behalf of the Oliver family we are so sad to hear of the passing of your Mom. Peg was a great friend to our mom. They were Den leaders together many years ago. She was always ready to talk to you as you walked through the gate from Christopher Rhodes! Your Mom and Dad also had good times together with our parents. My last memory of your Mom is dancing with my Dad at his 90th birthday party! May your beautiful memories comfort during this sad time.

So sorry for your loss. Something that has always brought me some comfort is found in. Jeremiah 29:11-13. So this helps us to see that God knows what we are going through and will help us. I hope this can bring you some comfort.
