It is with a heavy heart that Im sending prayers for Peggy,
and also to her son, father and extended family. I had the privilege of knowing Peggy since early days at St. Mary's School in East Moline. Peggy was a gem and she will be missed by many. God's blessings to the family.
I'm sorry to miss her visitation & mass, but I'm scheduled
to start radiation therapy.
