Dearest Jimmie and Brenda: As you can see, your Mom & Dad were sooo special to my kids. There is no words to express my love for Peg, We were neighbors since l962? and more closer friends since 1997. Both Jim (April '97) and Ralph (August '97) passed away just a few months of each other. This really brought us closer yet. We joined a Grief Workshop in Jan of 1998, where we met 4 other friends. We talk on the phone and do dinner lots. I will really miss her.

Peg and Jim supported every fundraiser, or hair-brained idea I had. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors. She will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. We have many happy memories of Aunt Peg and wish we could be there with you. You are all in our prayers. I am Jackies son Mike. Aunt Peg stayed in touch with all of us after our mom died. She was a wonderful lady and a great friend.
May God bless you all.
