I enjoyed Peg so much. She cut the wedding cake at my wedding and was so loved by my parents and myself. How wonderful that one day I will see her again
Dear Iris, I enjoyed Peg’s company & also yours when I visited my Mom, Ginny, at Golden Oaks. Peg was very blessed to have such a caring, loving niece. May God bless you and keep you in His care.
