My sympathy to Gene and family. We will miss Aunt Peggy. She was a wonderful Aunt, and person to know. Her, and Virgil, Ralph and Dorothy are together again in God's kingdom

My sympathy to Peg's family. Virgil was my colleague and sometimes mentor at Lutheran Service of Iowa many years ago, so I got to know Peg, as well, and enjoyed seeing her occasionally after Virgil died. I lost track of her, though, and am sorry I had not seen her recently.
God be with you all.

May I express my sympathy and prayers at this sad time. Martha was her name but I called her Peg just like people did not use my real name. She was a lovely lady, and will be missed for all the things even at her age she did and she always helped at church on the Tuesday we quilted by rolling bandages. May she now rest in Peace.

Aunt Louise,
I have been remembering so many fond memories of you throughout today. I always looked forward to seeing you and Uncle Virgil show up with your Airstream on your way south for the winter or coming back home. I loved that you would let me play house in it. All the family get togethers there were at your place or Mom & Dad's. You felt more like a grandmother than an aunt to me & you were an important part of the family. You are at peace now with your husband Virgil, son Bob, parents, and others and you will be missed by many still here to remember you. Until we meet again.... Love, Jenni
