I remember Peggy fondly as we were neighbors growing up in Franklin. We attended elementary and high school together. As adults, we worked in the same resident buildings (Southside & Lakeside). My wife Barbara (deceased) was one of Peggy’s best friends. Peggy was always a bright star who cared for her family and those who knew her. She was a good friend. Mike, bless you In your time of grieving. Peggy may be gone but never forgotten to those whose lives she touched. I have nothing but good memories of you and her. Thom/Patty Snyder
