Mom Helen and I wish to extend our heartfelt sympathies to Bill, Cameron, Sydney, and Rodger. Peggy was a first-class lady, always the life of the party, a wonderful smile with a great sense of humor. May you find peace in knowing she is finally reunited with your dad. Peggy was moms last dearest friend and she told me she was just thinking about her the other day. I know she enjoyed seeing her last year when we drove over for them to get together for a bit.
