I grew up living near Peggy and her family.I remember when my sister,Dene and I came over so peggy could help me learn a cheer for tryouts for school, of course, I didn’t make it,but I remember her being kind enough to help me. She was a very kind and friendly to everyone in school. The Sachs famiily sends their love and sympathy.
I worked with Peggy and became a friend of hers many years ago when we worked for B&F. We had some great times that I will never forget. She was a fun person and loved life. We lost touch over the years but now and then she’d find me and call and we’d catch up. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing and my heart and prayers go out to her family.
Mike, Liz and I are sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Jim McCartney

Mom you were the best Mother a child could ask for. I love you with all my heart and miss you dearly. I am greatful that you were able to move in with me so that I could take care of you durning the last few months of your life. I will never forget the times we shared and all that you did for my family and I. Your grandchildren miss you so much and will always remember you. I know you are looking down on me and will always be with me. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
Susan I am so sorry for you and your families loss
I Promise I promise to carry on your contagious smile the same one that would light up a room the minute you walked in. I promise to laugh and never take myself to seriously. I promise to love harder and forgive faster. I promise to be content, in every sense of the word and to be thankful for the years I was blessed to have friendship with you. I promise to try and have as big a heart as you did, to be selfless… To know what I have, and know what I can give to others who are not as fortunate. I promise to grieve the absence of your physical being for only a moment. And then I promise to set you free. I promise to never give up on others, even when I’m ready to give up on myself. I promise to be a friend and a mentor as you were… to be a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on or a set of ears to simply listen… And I can promise you this… I can promise to open my heart to hear every giggle and feel every hug…to know every heartache and every triumphant moment…, and to let your memory be there for every turn on the paths of life as a guiding light. The most important promise I can make, In spite of all my failures and all my losses… A promise that carries the equivalence of all the rest combined is this… I promise to make you proud with all that I am, I promise to love unconditionally and embrace others just as did during your final days here. I will miss you. Love, Your friend, Marsha Thatcher Williamson adapted from a poem written by Bailey Fitch
To Peggy’s family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort your hearts and give you peace. It saddens my heart to hear about a classmate that has passed. We were not close friends but I do know she made a great cheerleader! I am so sure that she cheered her children, grandchildren and family on in all that they did. I am sure she was your biggest fan, too.
