I worked in the Microbiology Lab at Pharmaseal back in the 1980s. Peggy and her son Roger worked in the Receiving area and I often saw them multiple times each week as I gathered samples for testing. They were always kind and nice to me. Peggy would always offer a listening ear if it was a rough day for me. It´s always hard to lose your mama, especially here at Christmas. Prayers for the family.
