My deepest sympathies to you Ivan and the rest of the family. Peggy was very kind and special to me. I met her when I started working at Super Natural Distributors, back in 2006. She took me under her wing, we bonded and a friendship grew. Peggy took great pride in her girls, grandchildren and their families. She helped me through many of my own family struggles, and losses. I am so sorry I didn't make it out more that once to visit her, but she will remain forever in my heart. My love and prayers to the whole family. She will never be forgotten, she is in the Lords loving embrace now! Love , Vicki Widholm
