Peggy & Alan,
Joe and I are so sorry for your loss. She was such a sweet and wonderful lady! I'll always remember how sweet she was to pack our lunches with her fantastic chicken salad sandwiches when we used to take off work and go to the beach! We know she will be terribly missed and we are thinking of you all during this time.
