Auntie Peg (aka “The Cookie Lady”) was a ray of sunshine in this world, an angel who walked with us – always a smile and kind words for you, always interested to hear what you had to say, sneaking you cookies when your mom says no more, an auntie who loved you like her own. You will be missed here on Earth, but never forgotten. Rest in Peace, Auntie Peg!
Please accept my deepest condolences for your family’s loss. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort. God Bless. Love james and Beth Knecht

Your father and mother have been a special part of my life when we became friends. When your father joined as a Special Officer and rode with me. Your mother made her first hole in one while I watched her stroke on the ball, hitting a concrete culvert, bounce up in the air and landing in the hole. It was amazing.
As we age we think about the good life and special moments that bring us together.
Sandy and I thankful we have made life special for knowing Peg and Bob
Ann & Family with Loving Memories and Deepest Sympathy on the loss of your Mother Thinking of you Love Linda Ashton & Family
