My condolences to Peachie and all the Pelligreens for your great loss. Lee and Peachie were neighbors of our family (Hartrich) when they were first married. You were my very first babysitting job when you had Little Lee. I thought Lee and Peachie were such a cool couple! We enjoyed having you as neighbors back in the day. Lee was a great guy. You and Lee are in our prayers through this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
Pam Hartrich
