“Peggy’s kindness towards my sister and me during our teenage years in the local magic clubs was nothing short of inspiring. She consistently attended our club shows and contests, offering encouraging words that fueled our focus and dedication to our dreams. We admired all that she and her husband, Denny, accomplished on a national level with their act, and they became our guiding benchmark. Her mission on earth was truly to uplift others. She remains a cherished presence in my thoughts, now and always.”

“What a dear lady Peggy was. For fifty years Peggy performed with husband Denny with a magic show that made audiences laugh and cheer. Peggy helped on every magic project that came her way, and she added greatly to the success of local magic clubs. I’ll remember her with great fondness.”
