It was an honor to have called Peggy my friend. She was a feisty sweetheart who was always up for an adventure and loved Mardi Gras even more than me. I will treasure the times spent with her and the quilt she made for my birthday one year. I will miss her.

Debby & Eric Peake June 17, 2015

May all those who love you rejoice in your memory as you continue to smile down on them. May they think of you with every smile and laugh and may thoughts of you bring joy to their hearts every single day for the rest of their lives until you all hug one another again. We wish you peace.

Collene Mulholland & Family June 17, 2015

Our condolences on your loss. I will truly miss Peggy...she always made me laugh and always tempted me to take her racing in my car....she liked that car. I know she is at peace now with no pain or sickness and am sure she is flying high with the angels along with a bit of mischief...LOL. She will be missed and I pray for the family for healing during their difficult time.

Bonnie Miller June 17, 2015
