Sorry to hear of Peggy's passing. It has been many years since I saw Peggy last. I remember her from Rich's in Barberton where we became friends. My sympathy to her family.

Kohler Family:
I send my deepest sympathy in this sad time for your whole family. Peggy was a wonderful, sweet person.
I have to share my story about "thinking of the Kohler's last Friday". My husband, Lee & I went to a pet adoption store to just look at the dogs. There was this HUGE dog, I'm not sure what kind but I said to Lee, "That is the biggest dog I have ever seen in my life besides Hoss". He said who is Hoss? I told him the stories of going to the Kohler house when I was young and how Hoss ("the barrell around his neck dog") used to come barrelling down the driveway as you pulled in to greet you! He was so big, he scared me!
Mom called me the next day and told me that Paggy had passed away! It was such a strange feeling for me.
My love and prayers are with you all!

Bob and family, It is with heartfelt sympathy that comes to you today. Sometimes there are no perfect words . . . only thoughtful silences that whisper softly of caring. May you and yours feel God's love and strength surrounding you at this time.
