Dear Peggy and Family,

Johnny was a wonderful man, but I'm sure you already knew that. Peggy you and Johnny mean the world to my mother and father. You both have always been there for each other when needed and knowing that my parents have friends like that in you and Johnny makes me very happy. I'll never forget how much fun he had at my wedding dancing to "Pump up the volume" with my dad. It still always brings a smile to my face everytime I hear that song. He will be sadly missed by everyone. I love you Peggy and he will be in my heart forever...

Love, Lori, Lexi & Nikko
