I’m sorry to hear about Peggy. She was my sister in law for many years when I was married to Buddy’s brother Rich. I told Rich many times Peggy was the best thing that ever happened to Bud and little Buddy. I hear over the years she was also wonderful to Kim and all of the Backes grandchildren. We need more people in this world like her. I am so sorry for the family loss. She will be missed. BETTY
