Thank you for loving Peg

To the Editor:

My family and I would like to take this opportunity to express our love and appreciation for everyone who joined us at the Celebration of Life in honor of our wife and mother, Peg Rau, last Sunday at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Altamont.

We would also like to extend special thanks to Rev. Gregory Zajac, Agnes Armstrong, and all others who helped to make this day so special — including dear Rev. Keen Hilton, whose letter was read during the service.

You can’t know how rewarding it is for a 97-year-old man to see so many of his good friends and loving family members gathered together to honor his faithful wife of over 73 years. Reading the long list of attendees makes me realize how much Peg was loved and respected and is a great comfort to me in the now-quiet hours.

Thank you all so much for your friendship.

Ev Rau
