Dearest Family My heart aches for your loss. Having lost my husband just four years ago I know how this time will be. Still taking comfort in that Peggy and Gordon are in heaven helps emotionally. Unfortunately, the ache in ones heart takes time. I am so glad to have known Peg and Ed. My fondest memories are when Gordon and I were dating and they provided a safe place for us to date. They opened their home in Montague. For this I am grateful, because of their support and endless counsel that Gordon and I were married and were able to spend 23 years together before God called him home. My condolences to all the family members. Love in Christ

Peg was a true friend and helped me spiritually after becoming a Christian in 1967 at a Winning Women Retreat. She and Ed counselled me through a very difficult time in my walk with the Lord. I know Jesus welcomed you home as you touched the Face of God. May you rest in peace until we meet again.

Ed and family, Peg was truly a leader in her spiritual walk. She is remembered fondly by many women through Winning women. We look forward to the day when we can gather at the feet of Jesus and sing How Great Thou Art.
