I knew Peg as a colleague and friend from our involvement at National Pres in Washington, D.C. I remember her sermons and her pastoral concerns and sensitivity. What I remember most, and that for which I greatly benefitted, was her personal interest in my work. She was a great encourager and supporter. For that I will be grateful to God forever. I look forward to renewing our fellowship in the presence of the One be both served. Thank you Peg, for all you were to me.

I will always remember Peg with love and gratitude. At La Jolla Presbyterian Church, she encouraged me to buy my first Bible, was my first Bible study teacher and taught me that "love" is an action word not a feeling. It is a "discipline, a choice, a lifestyle, a commitment to God and others. "

Peg was a pivotal person in my spiritual development. Her Tuesday morning Bible Studies at La Jolla Pres helped me grow in my faith as a young stay at home mom. The impact she had on so many women over the years is immeasurable! Rest in Peace, dear Peg!
