Dear Peggy and JoAnn and Family, You have our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. Please know that you will be in our prayers at this difficult time. She was a lucky lady to have such wonderfully devoted daughters. Each time I visited my grandmother at the manor I saw your names on the sign in sheet. God Bless You All.
