"Peg, you did such a good job of caring for Linda. Made your parents proud. Job well done. We will both miss her"
"Peggy, I remember my mom Ruth Gillette use to think she was her friend from years ago and called Linda ?Darlene? so often. At first Linda would try to correct her but soon just would shake her head. You were a super caregiver for your sister! God Bless you!! Linda was always in a good mood when I saw her. And she was a very good conversationalist! Loved to tell stories about your moms cooking. Take care! Sympathy to all of your family members. Barbara Blom"
