I just discovered our loss of one of my favorite people. Peg was an extraordinary friend to my mother, Dell Carr, when they both lived at the Village and enjoyed having breakfast together each morning. When Mom had trouble getting up as early as she wanted to, Peg faithfully called her each day with a cheerful "good morning" song. She even continued after Mom moved to Rose Court. Peg was so kind and so much fun.
