Dear Karen, Denny, Jenny, Jason, Kim, Dennis, Lisa and Brian,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have and always will hold close my memories of my "sassy" Aunt Peggy in my heart. She always has been there for me for all my major milestones in my life as well as my daughters and even the day to day experiences. She always livened things up and taught me many important lessons. I know she is up in heaven with Stephen and Kenny and truly at peace. What I will miss is her wonderful Happy Birthday singing to each and everyone of us every year, her thoughtfulness over the years and her being such a good sister to my mom. I LOVE YOU AUNT PEGGY Love, Lori

My heart goes out to you and your family Karen. Aunt Virginia certainly fought the good fight and made it through many difficult times in her life through faith. She is now in heaven's reward for a good and loving life.

Dear Karen, Denny, Jenny, Jason, Kim, Dennis, Lisa and Brian: Please accept my heart felt condolences on the loss of your Mom and grandmother. It is such a sad time for the family, but we have so many great memories to cherish. How Aunt Peggy loved to attend all of our milestones and documented each of them with her picture taking that she would share with us. Aunt Peggy had such a zest for life and all of its celebrations. She was a thoughtful and fun Aunt. I will see you all soon. Love, Leslie
