Peggy Salisbury and family (salsfam@comcast.net) To Aunt Phil's family, I was sorry to read about your mother's passing. Mother was 89 when she died 5 years ago -- that's a long life. Your mother was always so good to me as I was growing up. She made my wedding dress. She was my favorite aunt. It's hard to go on without your parents, but the Lord blesses us with comfort and peace. I'm sorry I couldn't be at the funeral. Our prayers are with you. Peggy Salisbury and family
