Mark and Family,
Peggy was a wonderful lady and will surely be missed by the Campbell family. I have so many good memories of Peggy. She would always knit my family hats and mittens. She will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mark & Family,
We are very sorry for you and your family's loss. We only knew your mother from the stories you told about your times (and Laura's) with her but it was nonetheless enough to know you were close to her and that she was a special person.

I really enjoyed knowing Peggy through Emblem. She loved my Carrot Cake. I wish I had brought it to her more.

As another long time Village family, she will be missed by many. Always a warm smile for everyone she met. Growing up we "all" knew one another . . . as she was more to me and a few others then just another mother, she was also a "Den Mother" when I was in the "Cub Scouts" (remember Mark?). She was one of the people (& Families) that made the Village a very special place growing up . . . 50 years ago. You will be truly remembered.
