I was saddened to see this today. I hadn´t seen Peggy in years. I recently ran across a recipe that she had given me. I was her cleaning lady many years ago. Her gentleness and kindness will be the memory that I will keep in my heart. I´ll never forget the day she couldn´t find her cat. It had stormed the night before and the cat was scared and ran out of the house. I don´t remember the exact details on how I found out that her cat was in Berea, but someone found it near the bank where Peggy worked at the time. We had guessed the cat had hid somewhere under her auto and road to work with her. I remember Peggy was so excited to have found her. She loved her animals. I will remember her and her gentleness. I will keep the family in my heart and in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Sherry (Johnson) Carver
