I had the great pleasure of seeing Peggy every 5 weeks for the last 15 years to do her hair. She was a wonderful remarkable woman. How she looked after Ken was amazing. We had lovely times. Talking about all the singing shows and America’s got talent. Hearing about all the kids and grand kids that she was so proud of. I will miss her . I am very sorry for your loss. I’m sure there is another angel in heaven.

We’ll always remember Peggy as a kind, generous and extremely hard working woman. We had the pleasure of walking by their place at Lucerne Beach for many years and always admired the gardens! Our sincere sympathies from all the families that make up the Wilrodrey crew at Lucerne.
We live in Ken and Peggys old neighborhood in Magna Bay and John was their computer tech. We were very fond of Peggy as we always found her to be a very sweet and kind person. She will be missed. Our condolences to the family.
