My heart is truly saddened by the passing of one of my very special friends. Wish I could answer the question of why, but one thing I am sure of is that Peggy has made her final journey to the place. Where she walks the streets og gold. No pain! No sorrow! No tears! I am going to miss her. My prayers go out to the family. Much love to all. Shelly

Dear Family, I'm sadden to learn of this news. I was a childhood friend of Peggy at St Paul Lutheran school and church. About 2 years ago we found each other on Facebook. My sympathy goes out to you.
