My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. May God grant you comfort and peace. So bless to know Peggy as a dear and wonderful neighbor. I enjoyed our visits with tea and conversation about our business career in the field of Human Resources. She always looked beautiful from head to toe. She had the best hair color and hair styles. A beautiful, intelligent , kind and caring person. May she Rest In Peace in the arms of our Loving Savior. Thank you for your gift of friendship. Miss you already dear neighbor. Joan
