Weekly Breakfast At Grandma Peggy’s
Sam Crowe of Bishop DuBourg High School in St. Louis used to meet up at a local diner with a group of teens every Wednesday for a weekly breakfast. However, one day a realization struck Sam.

Sam’s grandma, Peggy Winckowski cook for him and his friends. After that, the group started meeting at “Grandma Peggy’s” for their weekly breakfast.
This weekly tradition happily carried on until one day, tragedy struck. Sam Cooke died in a hit-and-run accident. And after that, everything changed.
