In Loving Memory

Randy, we are with you today.  Our hearts are heavy because we know how much Peggy, your beloved wife and fellow traveler, meant to you.  May she rest in peace, in a place free from her struggles.  Our vacation with you and Peggy a few years ago brought us much happiness, now fond memories.  Our recent visit over the Memorial Day weekend showed us how much love you felt for her by your attention to her needs and the care given by her care givers.  We are always here for you and hope to see you down the road in the not too distant future.

Affectionately, Michael and Nadia

Dear Randy,

I always enjoyed seeing you and Peggy.  You seemed so well matched and very comfortable together. I know how much you loved Peggy and how you will miss her.  Your steadfast, dedicated care for Peggy through her battle with Parkinson's disease was extraordinary. My thoughts are with you, and I will have fond memories of the two of you, together. 

My deepest condolences,

Greg

Peggy

Peggy and I met in September , 1968 as we both were freshman at Eastern Michigan University and more importantly we lived not only in the same dorm but only a few rooms from ones other .  I actually remember meeting Peggy for the first time as there was a get together, at our all women's dorm ,a few nights after we had moved in.
I remember Peggy wearing a vibrant dress and actually being shy.  Within the next few months we established our friendship.  Once I got to know Peggy she certainly wasn’t shy and  had a magnetic laugh , a laugh that was so real it was contagious, and she was spontaneous and fun to be around.
 

Peggy was very independent as well as a hard conscientious worker. After our freshman year she moved into an apartment and worked as well as continued her education.  Peggy was interested in drama and was in one of our school plays. She had such an adventurous independent soul.  Not surprising ,after college, she eventually moved to the Northern Part of Michigan where it was more rural….and after several years  she got into her car and traveled out west ending up in Salt Lake City.
During that trip she often camped at various parks as she was alone and she would meet other campers,,,,,one of them she still was friends with until her death and this friend lives not far from me….both of us are in California…and we shall continue our friendship as well as have our own Celebration for Peggy.
 

If I could describe Peggy in a few words it would be vivacious, REAL, kind, creative, 
brave, FUN, BEAUTIFUL both inside and out, and an unforgettable soul that shall warm my heart forever!  

I also asked  a few others, who knew her, their thoughts and the following was what I received:
 
- She was a good person, with a good heart, an enquiring mind and was fun.  She will be missed by everyone .  

-I just loved her. 

-such a lovely being
 

And I end with my own: -Peggy ,after a pet of mine died in 2011 wrote:

dearest shelly,
 
the loss of a beloved pet (any pet) breaks my heart.  you gave of yourself and your home your love was unconditional as well.  my thoughts are with you both.

peggy
 

Bless her husband and all her family and friends, my condolences are with you all.
