“There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone their light remains.”

Peggy’s family would like to express that the Extendicare, Lindsay staff were so tremendously kind and caring over the years.  They were fabulous and they truly loved Peggy so much.  Also they were readily accessible with direct and compassionate communication with family members especially with Peggy’s daughter Carol or if other family called the home.  A special thank you goes out to the doctors that were so caring to Peggy.

If desired any donations can be made on Peggy’s behalf to a charity of your choice.  A celebration of life will be at a later date.
