Guestbook

  1. Oak Grove MOAlthough my sister Peggy and I were never close I will remember her for the few times we talked on the phone over the years. She would share her memories of her children and their lives and always tell me about Bob and how he was doing.

    I am sure she touched many lives over the years and leaves behind so many grandchildren that she will never be forgotten.

    May God comfort the family and give them the strength during this difficult time. May Peggy rest in God’s arms free of the pain and struggles of this world.
