Aunt Peg was a lovely lady. Lois and I have fond memories of her. 97 Years old, my goodness what a long life, and even with the long twilight, those decades were rich and fruitful.

Kathy , Ryan and I send our deepest sympathies. I had a thought about Aunt Peg just the other day . I went into Fairlawn on some personal business and passed Aunt Evelyn's house . I was reminded of the Christmas gatherings in the 50's and 60's Some of my favorite childhood memories.

I also remember seeing Aunt Peg around town over the years and she always stopped to chat . Also no matter what she was doing she always looked her best Never a hair out of place always fashionable .
