I worked with Peggy at school during summer cleaning. We shared a lot of fun memories. Peggy was such a happy and pleasant person to be around. She was also very kind and considerate to everyone. She always brought all of us veggies from her garden of which she was so proud of. We had a lot of laughs together. She will be missed by many people. Prayers for Peggy and her family.
