Wally and Ronnie,
We are so sorry to read of Peggys passing. She was a dear one. I had just told her that I was looking forward to seeing if the beautiful lillies she gave me last summer will come up. She was always there
to help me on the Congregational Life Com. and always brought cookies
for the Christmas tea. We will miss her.
