Peg was a light of sunshine who always gave of herself unselfishly. She was married to my father the late Christian (Smoke)Lefever who she loved unconditionally and cared for throughout his illnesses. Peg was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother but above all else, she was a wonderful person and we will miss her greatly. Living in Kentucky, I feel we missed sharing in her life but even through the distance, her love was always evident and her good heart abound. We send all our love to the family and rejoice in knowing that mom is now at peace and with Smoke and God.
