Steve and family, So very sorry for your loss. Glad to have met your mom and know how much she meant to you.
I was so saddened to hear of aunt Peggy’s passing. We always had great conversations when she visited Arizona. She was totally devoted to her family, and was so full of life. She really lived life, and didn’t just let it pass her by. She loved her home & traveling. She was thoughtful, & kept in touch with people through phone calls, in a day when everyone seems so busy. It was a trait not many people have, & I always admired about her. She’ll be sorely missed by everyone whose life she touched.
