I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a beautiful woman that I am fortunate to have gotten to know in the past year. Peggy was fantastic at "Trivia". I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was with Activities at Fountain View. Quote
Our families shared a lot of fond Monroe memories. Our thoughts are with your families. Quote
No doubt you're with Grandpa now, on some beautiful lake in the sky, fishing for trout. I'll never forget the blueberry picking, the morel hunting, fried fish lunches, and the two of you playing cards together. Luvu lots! Quote
