  1. To Bruce, children, and extended family: My sincere heartfelt condolences to you in the loss of your loved-one. Peggy had many friends, and I was blessed to be one of them. We worked almost thirty wonderful years at Cameron Elementary School. I had a pet name for her, I called her “Peggy Sue”, after the song. More times than not, she called me my full name, “Sylvia McCrimmon.” Peggy was a wonderful dear friend! She was a kind, sweet, give you “the shirt off your back” kind of person, who believed in prayer, and loved talking and living for the Lord. I have many wonderful stories I could tell about times we spent together, as I’m sure others do. She was a fine lady!
    May God sustain you with strength, peace, and may the love she had for you, and the memories you shared with her, bring you comfort now, and in the days ahead.
    With loving fond memories,
    Sylvia McCrimmon

  4. My love and prayers go out to my Uncle Buddy, Cheryl, Dean, and Lee. Peggy was one of my beloved aunts. Although I have many memories of my Aunt Peggy, I especially love the time spent with her after I became an adult. There was only 8 years difference in our ages, so I enjoyed our time taking walks and talking. She was so sweet, kind and loving. She will be missed by all of her family & friends. She was a precious wife and mother and an inspiration to all of us. I loved her dearly.
