Chris, My prayers are with you and your family. Peggy was a very special person. Besides being a great wife, mother and Gram she was an outstanding Christian! Her contribution to the Diaconate Community, and especially the Deacon Council, was most valuable. Her insight, care, and advice were always appreciated. She will be missed. I am glad I will have one more saint to pray for me and all of us. Let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. Father Mike Ahlstrom Vicar Emeritus for Deacons

I'm so sorry Uncle Chris, Cousin Chris, Marc and all the rest of the family. Aunt Peggy is in a better place right now. And she is with the rest of the family having fun. She has no more pain and she is free. I will miss her and carry her in my heart just like my mother and father and the rest of the family. May peace be with you.

Uncle, Deacon Chris, Bella and I are sorry for the lost of your lovely most beautiful wife and our Auntie Peggy. She will never be forgotten. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Our dearest Auntie, there are no words to say how we feel about you. Bella and I say you are now in the kingdom of God. You are an angel equipped with that of wings of a dove. Your smile, and your compassion provided a positive to all who come in contact with you. While you are in heaven, please look over us and protect us. In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit, amen. Peace be with you. Donnie, Bella, Donald.

Hey Y’all I am so heartbroken that I can’t be there to hug each of you! I love Peggy and Pa as if I were one of their own. I feel as though I have always been a part of your family because that’s the way Peggy wanted it. I cherish the last FaceTime I had talking to her with her big smile and twinkle in her eyes! If any of you need something that I can do please let me know. I pray that Gods Peace fills your hearts and he wraps you each in his protective arms to hold you during the hard times. I love y’all! Lynn
