So many memories of friendship from our days at NHS in the class of 1956. Always a pleasure when I saw her after graduation as well. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time.

I have fond memories of Peggy at church, including serving on the Board of Elders with me. She was convinced she would have nothing to offer, but she certainly did have much to offer, in many ways to our church. Holding her family and all her remember her in my prayers.
