Peggy was always a force to be reckoned with and had a heart of gold! It was a tough love but nevertheless it was her way. It was my pleasure to have know Peggy over the past 20 years. I kidded her often about her love for the rodeo. Peggy always kept me on my toes and I haven’t met another person like her and probably never will. I’m glad that she is resting peacefully now.
