Dear Catherine, John, Elizabeth and Charlie,
We want to express our sincerest sympathies to you and your family,
on the death of your beloved mother, Margaret. We have prayed for her during her illness and I (Gretchen) felt a close conection to her
as I had met her and talked to her, when she visited you all at church.
I understand how it is to lose one's mother, especially after a long illness. I lost mine in 2001. Also please know that the Daughters of the King have had her on our prayer list for a very long time and are
praying for all of you. God Bless You,
Gretchen and Tom Bateski

I was blessed to meet Peg just last year and a blessing it was. She was such a fighter and a great inspiration to all of us. She left her love to all and her family gave their love to her. I last saw Peg at the Oncologist and there she was with a smile and a "how are you?" A beautiful woman.
