Dear Peggy, I just found out that Gene has passed away and was so shocked and saddened by the news. I was looking up friends on facebook and put in his name and that is how I found out. My girlfriend Marsha and I attended your wedding so many years ago. I adored Gene....and was so very happy he found true love with you . I know that someone probably e-mailed me about this but I was in the hospital at the time Gene died. I am suffering from Ovarian Cancer since 2006. I wanted to contact Gene and say howdy . It has been so many years since we have seen one another and I hoped all of you were fine. I just don't know what to say... I am shocked and I know it will take a long time to ease your pain. God Bless You and take care of yourself Peggy. You married one fine man and what a great dancer he was... Love, Anne Estlow Kornman

Peggy and Family,
So sorry to read this online about Gene.
We go back many of years in Bridgeton and his Mother Pauline living in the neighborhood. Then working with you in Vineland what a small world.
Gene graduated with my bother also.
May the memories of the good times carry you through this time of sorrow!
