I hold many wonderful memories, letters and cards from her in my heart. A dear Aunt, but also forever friend. I love you Aunty Peg. ox - Posted by: Patti and Harold Leutschaft (Niece) on: Nov 02, 2012

Aunty Peggy was there when I was little, always had that bright smile I remembered oh so well... she ALWAYS remembered my birthday and it was funny because her card she would send me on my birthday always made it the day before or the day of my birthdate. She was a wonderful woman, I remember her laugh so well Hugs to you aunty... you are home now with your loved ones once again. x0x0x0x - Posted by: Renee Lavoie (Niece) on: Oct 16, 2012

  • We will always treasure the memories we have of Aunty Peg spending every spare moment with her "family" when we were all little kids living in Winnipeg. She taught some of us to drive at Blue Lake Park on our camping trips,was the best companion to tour Europe with and was the life of all our holiday parties and get-togethers. We have loved her, not as just an aunt but as the special that always had a kind or encouraging word, armfuls of delicious treats and little gifts, and a way of making each one of us feel special. We love you and miss you tons Aunty Peg, but thankfully you're still with Uncle Jack. From all of us 'dear' and 'Rotten Kids' - Posted by: Susan, Pattti, Richard, Chris, Maria, Renee (Lavoie) (Nieces and Nephews) on: Oct 13, 2012

  • Peggy was a wonderful woman. I loved spending family celebrations with her and our challenging Scrabble games at her kitchen table. Her devotion to Jack was beautiful to witness. My thought are with her family. Xoxo - Posted by: Jean McLeod () on: Oct 13, 2012
