Peggy and I grew up together in Columbus German Village area and remained friends for years until relocating. I am so deeply sorry to hear this news. I was actually trying to find Peggy on Facebook when this appeared. So very sorry for your loss with your family. Debbie Rice Freeman.

To the family of my friend Pegg, My thoughts and prayers are with her family. It was an honor and priviledge to have called her my friend. We shared many wonderful times together and I will miss her dearly. May she be at peace and have wings to fly. The world will miss your beauty, smile and always great sense of humor. Rest peacefully.

to the family....

words at these times are hard to express about loved ones so dear to us. I, myself so understand this. Peggy was not only a friend for over 50 years and a 69 South Classmate but a part of my extended family. Please know that I am praying that she is in a much better place and without pain as my daughter Laura is now.

My the Lord Bless you and be with you in this time of sorrow.......
