Gordon & Uphaus Families and Lashley Families,
Our Deepest Sympathy to all of you on the passing of Peggy. My parents and us extend our condolences to all of you. My Dad was a classmate of Peggy’s. I have wonderful memories of her coming to visit her parents on Renfrow and seeing her smiling face plus saying Hi every time she saw me. She was a wonderful caring individual and will be missed. Wonderful memories of her by our family. During this time may God comfort, encourage, strengthen, and give all of you peace. May God bless all of you.
In Christian Love,
Norris/Ivene Cozort
