To Anne & Bill & the Heynen Family
I was sorry to learn of Peg's death. I knew her beginning with my first year as a priest and my first assignment at Holy Name Parish. I will always be grateful for her kindness, readiness to be of help and her sense of humor. We enjoyed many happy days.
My thoughts are with her family and I want to assure you of a remembrance in my prayers and at Mass.
May God grant her eternal rest and peace.
