To Margaret’s Family: I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. I have often wondered about her and all of you children. We saw each other so often when we were small. I have many memories of your mother and both of your fathers. I think our parents were very close. Our father has been gone for 19 years and Mother is in poor health and living in Spencer with our brother Tim. I know if mother were well she would attend the service. Melissa Light ( Keller )

ôPeggy Sue is DadÆs cuz.ö This is the way that we all remembered her in the Charles Klepfer and Margaret FlowersÆ family. Dad was the son of Hazel Klepfer and Charles E. Flowers. Although we did not spend a lot of time with her, the times that we did have a chance to be together revealed her to be a warm and caring cousin. If memory holds true, I recall a youthful visit to the Ray and Ethyl Klepfer mink farm many, many years ago. This probably was the first time we met.
I would like to extend my warmest condolences to Margaret’s (Peggy SueÆs) family on behalf of mine.
