Peggy Rae

Peggy Rae passed away on the 31st August in the afternoon after a long fight with cancer and will be sadly missed as her Cornlands Labradors have had such an impact upon the breed for many years, and will continue to do so under the watch of James.

The Funeral will be held at the All Saints Church in Stisted, Braintree, Essex on Saturday 11th September, and the funeral may be attended in order to remember her long and fascinating life.
