Our deepest sympathy! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ed and Steve,
There is nothing more precious to a child than his mom, and you had a great mom.
She had such a welcoming personality and was just so darn cute to match.
I’m sure you’ll miss her tremendiously.
She’ll always be in our thoughts and prayers.

An ideal mother-in-law, role model for women of all generations, she pursued her dreams in the air and on the ground.
Pilot, dancer, artist, loyal Huskies fan, world traveler, a loving woman to all who knew her. Her cats knew her for the soft-hearted woman she was. Her strawberry waffles were a beacon on cold Saturday mornings and will live on in history.
A woman of faith who pursued her dreams and loved life. She will be missed each and every day by those who loved her.
Steve and Dianne,
We know Peg to be an exceptionally lovely person through knowing her wonderful son and daughter-in-law. She lives on through them.
We send our love and prayers to the entire family.
Tim and Judy
