The family would like to thank the staff at Golden West Lodge for making Peggy's new home a safe and pleasant place. She really enjoyed her stay with them. Thank you to the 3rd floor staff who helped to make Peggy's last few weeks comfortable. Cremation has taken place and a private family funeral will be held at a later date.
