I can’t even count the number of times was invited to join in Montgomery clan celebrations, especially during the holidays. Peggy made sure I knew I was included and I always felt welcome and at home in her company.
When I lived in Calgary for nearly 19 years, I was often unable to make it to Manitoba to spend Christmas with my own family. Peggy always made me feel more than welcome in her home, like a member of her extended family — my plate was always full and my glass never empty. She loved having that house full of people laughing and having fun — and we did. She was the essence of a woman being “the heart of the home.”
I am grateful she was here and so saddened that she is gone. But, I will always remember her laughter and generosity…and it will always make me smile.
My deepest condolences to all the Montgomery family on their great loss.
With love,
Fiona
