    I was very sad to hear of Peggy’s recent passing. I was able to visit with her a couple of times this summer and I am glad I had that opportunity. Peggy was born and spent her early childhood in the house that I now own and she said those years were the happiest of her childhood. Last summer I brought her down to visit the old home place and we spent the day happily listening to her reminiscing. I will miss her and her stories about the “old days” but I know she has a secure place in heaven with her loved ones who have passed. Much condolences to Warren and all those who cared for her.
