I have many memories of her popping popcorn and spending the evening with her boys and my son, just watching tv. Of all the greatest accomplishments she will be remembered by, is being the best mother. She raised her boys, along with earning her RN degree. Peggy you are an inspiration. I sure will miss you and the times we spent together.
