    Thank you Stacie. So many that we grew up with have "gone away home."

    I just learned of Peggy’s death while visiting Brookhaven. I’m sorry for your loss. I, too, have memories of her from years ago, when we were sitting in front of your family at New Salem. Later she always asked about my life/family when I visited as a new wife, mother, etc. Somehow I still expect her and others to be in those same seats when I return to New Salem. My sympathy in your loss.

    I’m so sorry to hear of Peggy’s death. I have many fond memories of our days growing up together and of both her family and Kelmer’s. My sincere sympathy to all of her family and her Church family. She will be greatly missed.
