Dear John and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Peg's passing.  We have some great memories of playing pool with her and going to Halloween parties at Seleskys' home!  Sorry we couldn't be with you now-Love and Prayers,
Barb & Kirk Perry

Sorry, to hear about Peg.  I'm Pat Hansen Miller.  We graduated from the same nursing class at Butterworth.  Everytime I would talk to her, she would say she wasn't well.  I'm from Stanton.  I live at Clifford Lake.  I lost my husband, Jerry Miller, in 2006.  Our parents use to take turns bringing us home for the weekend in our first year at Butterworth.  I called a couple of the other classmates.  I'm sorry I couldn't come today and I can't make it tomorrow. My condolences to the whole family. 
Pat
