It has been many years since I was part of the Yoder family but some of my best memories are of those times spent with Lin and Peg. She always made you feel welcome in her home and was fun to be with. My sympathies go out to Lin and all her family.

Greg,Chris and family, Peg, Teague and I would like to extend our condolensces to each of you. My memories of Aunt Peg as a young boy still brings a smile to my face and joy in my heart. As life took us on our own paths, we may not have seen much of Aunt Peg, but my memories will live on forever. Aunt Peg was a wonderful person and brought joy to many others. God Bless, Rock
