Thank you, Peggy, for the many happy memories at our weekly L&L group lunches. The companionship and support were so needed for each of us to deal with the loss of a loved one. Remember, at first L&L meant "lost and lonely" -- then, after about 3 years, John renamed it as "love and laughter." I was away from the group for a few years but, fortunately, came back in time to celebrate your 90th birthday at the Mill Creek Pub. That day you were just as bright and bubbly as I remembered. May your family rejoice and take solace in a life well lived; and may God's peace and love give them comfort in this time of sorrow. You were much loved.

Celebrating a life well lived. I will cherish the memories. I remember your mom with great fondness. Seeing her picture brought back the early years when we were children following our parents from job to job. Please accept my condolences.
