Peggy, you are already missed by so many. You definitely lite up the room and were the life of every party and one of my favorite people. There isn’t a time I drive by a casino and not think of you! You still hold the title and will forever hold the title as my favorite mom of any of the guys I dated. We have some good adventures back in the day. You always welcomed me with open arms and a great woman. Keep an eye on us all down here!

Peggy was the best cousin. She taught me how to drive on the freeways in her new car! We had such fun together. The trips we took we memorable because of her. She introduced me to Ron. She joins him in Heaven now along with all of our fun family who went ahead of us. Love you.

Peg always made me feel welcomed. I was a very young mom and wife and she would sit and talk with me.
40 plus years later she still made me feel welcome. Thank you Peg!

Aunt Peg, I was at a true loss for words when I heard of your passing from Grandma. It felt like what I was hearing was not real, but indeed it was. Our whole family will miss your amazing smile, your words of wisdom, your endless & funny stories, and your traveling trips to “The Great State of Texas.” Thank you for all of the amazing memories we have with you. We will cherish them forever & will remain in our hearts, always. There are some who bring a light to the world, that even after they have gone, the light remains. You are one of those people Aunt Peggy. We all love you, so very much. Until we meet again. All our love. – Jessica, Gary & Kailyn Burns, Ava Garcia, Jacklyn Irwin, Jeff & Dawn Irwin
