Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I just can’t tell you how very saddened I was to hear of Peggy’s death. What a great gal she was and so precious. Tho I saw her only rarely these past years we used to be buddies, double dating long, long ago with our future husbands. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Too Henderson Pirkey Wilson
