    I said out loud " Oh no - Not Peppy !!!" Like others my heart aches. My next trip to Pittsburgh I wanted to see Peppy. Another instance where I should have gone back to visit. Phi my heart goes out to you, Winnie & Peppy's family. I am having difficulty finding the words to say how saddened I am. Just know that there is love & prayers headed your way from Oklahoma.
