Peg was an amazing woman and good friend. I remember having a lot of fun with her and Jerry. They treated Dan and I with such kindness, including sharing tickets to a sporting event. I am lucky to have known Peg

I just happened to get a Indianapolis paper this morning and found out that Peg had died. She was my wife’s, Barbara Kitchen, room mate at Purdue and she was in our wedding. I know from experience that the family will get through thorough their loss but but you won’t get over it My prayers are with you.

My siblings, Carolyn and Tom, and I remember Peg and Jerry’s kindness to us and our late sister Arlene. I don’t think they remember our brother Alan who died in 1979. We remember at least one party at the house on High Street and many events at First Christian Church. Please accept our sympathy.
