The last time I spoke to Aunt Peggy was this past Christmas. She was doing well and was very happy to hear of my engagement. She will be missed. Her loving niece Lindsay.

I have special memories of my sister Peggy when I was about 8 or 9 years old. She would put me and my sister Helen to bed about 9 PM at night on the weekend, And then she would come in and wake me up and I would sneek out of bed so I wouldn't wake Helen up. We would go into the living room and watch monster movies together. She would have soda and snacks ready for the two of us, and my sister Helen never knew we would do this. I always tell this to people when I talk about the old days. I'll never forget those days with her. Love and miss her. Her loving brother Buddy.
