Aunt Peggy was my favorite Aunt, I remember when I was very young and we use to visit my Aunt Peggy and the family. I remember spending Christmas's at her house and playing lots of fun games with my cousin's. She had a small stream behind her house and I my cousin's use to play in it. I also remember Aunt Peggy use to have a vegetable garden next to the garage flower garden's in the back yard. I remember having lots of fun at her house she was the best Aunt any one could have I loved her and will miss her very much. I know she is in Haven with Uncle Andy , her and my mom are watching my Dad and Uncle Andy playing Billiards.
Rest in peace Aunt Peggy.
