Peggy was one of those women that made life seem so exciting when she was around. I was always so happy to see her face, and her hugs and caring words were always so sincere. This world was truly blessed to have her and she will be missed greatly. My thoughts are with your family. Her smile and charismatic personality will always be remembered.

Rick, I heard about Peggy's entering Heaven yesterday from my sister, Beverly. I did not know that she had battled cancer for all of these years. Jo Ann and I offer you, your daughters, and all of your family our deepest sympathy. Peggy was always one of my favorites in high school; a very special person. I know I must have shared that with you when we worked together at Allstate Enterprises. Please know that we will be supporting you and your family with our daily prayers. With Christian Love, Charlie & Jo Ann Brooks
