I am so very sorry that I am unable to make it to Aunt Peggy's Celebration of Life as I am currently in South Carolina. She was a great woman whom was like a grandmother to me and my siblings, yet also always kept the memories of our own grandmother Dottie alive (she died years before we were born) and always would tell us about her, which was greatly appreciated. I always looked forward to seeing her and talking with her the most at the Turnquist Christmas and 4th of July parties, sharing the latest and the greatest with her. I will miss her immensely and send my love to Uncle Nelson and everyone else.

My Aunt PEGGY was a wonderful strong woman. She will be missed. She is with the Lord now and no longer suffering. Prayers go out to my Uncle NELSON and my cousins and their families.
