As a Hospice Nurse, it is a privilege to care for my patients in their last days here on earth, but to have cared for Peggy was an honor.

Dear Dick, Liza, Margy and family,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers have been with you all for a long time, and especially since hearing of Peggy's death a few weeks ago. She was a great influence on me in my young adulthood--a role model of liveliness, service to others, faith and fun. I know she will be greatly missed.
I pray that you may receive many blessings in this difficult time.

Peggy was always watching over me and giving guidance as my big sister. Once when I was depressed she told me'Always and everywhere give thanks.'I've tried to follow that advice in imitation of her for the rest of my life. I give thanks for her beautiful life . I rejoice that she is with her Lord whom she loved and served so well.

I only met Peggy once, at Margy's wedding, but her personality, which must be much like Margy's, came through. Her smile was beautiful that day, as it is in her picture. I am sorry that I never got to know her better, but I think I must know of her from knowing Margy. My prayers are with you all.
Love,

Peggy was a bright light to all who knew her. She was one of the most positive people we have ever known. May God bless her and her family.

Peggy Wirtz was a kind and generous person. She helped many people with her gentle strength and was never too busy to listen. "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."(Proverbs 31:10) My prayers are with her family. Love, Amy Hylton

Peggy was my Godmother--and as a child I was lucky enough to have her warmth and kindness part of my life. It was always something special to have notes and cards from Peggy over the years--and to maintain contact into adulthood. Her influence is truly part of my life always. She is alive in our hearts.

Dear Dick, Liza, Margy and Pat,
In our freshman year at Manhattanville, Peggy picked me to be her friend and eventual roommate. What a gift our 45- year relationship has been! Her loyalty, her kindness, her vivacity, her clarity, her staunch advocacy on behalf of others, and her love and trust in God's plan - she gave so much to so many. We are all better for having known her. I will miss her.

To all of Peggy's beloved family - I hope your memories comfort you frequently over the years. Mine, of our college days, are so like yours - she was bright, loving, warm, and joyous. She always shared her inner glow with me, and I don't think it ever dimmed over time.

Liza, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Please be assured she left a void in the lives of all she touched. I know she will live on through the lives you and Margy live. Love,

Our lives were entwined in college, as we forged a friendship that nothing could weaken: not distance, nor time or nor even death. Dearest Peggy will always have a special place in our hearts. We send love to her whole family and the community which mourns her passing from among us. We entrust her into the palm of God's hand, and continue to celebrate her life with sweet memories.

I was very fortunate to help with Peggy's care at the end of this life. She was truly an angel on loan from GOD. I believe she completed her mission and GOD wanted her back. She could melt your heart with her sweet expressions and her special hugs(only she could give). I will always remember Peggy for what she taught me even though her illness. Dick, Margy, Liza and Mary and Pat will always have a special place in my heart!! Thanks for letting me be a small part in such a special family and in the presence of an angel. I will never forget your precious family or the time I spent with Peggy.
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!! And remember, she is still watching over you.

I remember Peggy as such a vivacious, lively, lovely person. It's hard to believe she has left us so soon. But she has surely gone "to the House of the Father" where she now intercedes for us all. I pray her family is comforted by the peace of Christ.

Over the past few years, I had the pleasure to visit with Peggy on several occasions at Maryg’s home and during the planning of Margy’s wedding. Peggy had such a delightful smile, so genuine, so sweet. It was clear that she adored her girl’s and loved her family.
It was evident the type of Mother Peggy was to have raised such bright and loving young women, Margy and Liza. Her daughters share many of the same wonderful qualities that I understand Peggy possessed, so we know she lives on through them.
Being closest with Margy, I am aware of her care and concern for others and as Liza embarks on a career in a field also helping others, it is clear they possess similar characteristics in which Peggy dedicated her life through many years of service to others.
My heart goes out to the family and close friends for the sadness they feel, but I am also grateful that Peggy lived a life that continues on through her daughters and the work that she did for so many years still continues on in our community.

Our family is thinking of you and yours during this time. Peggy was such a wonderful and brght light of a person. Even in death, she continues to make efforts to make the world a better place for those left here. That is a beautiful testiment to the kind of person she was.
Much love,
Phil, Cindy, and Megan

How profoundly saddened we were to learn of Peggy's death. We will remember so many wonderful things about her, including and especially her infectious laugh, her enthusiasm and genuine interest in learning about *you*, her uncanny ability to find and bring out the humor in any situation, and her unbounded commitment to others -- particularly those least able to care for themselves. Among those of us fortunate enough to know Peggy, she leaves innumerable fond memories and a legacy which will endure. We will greatly miss her.

How might one best remember a stalwart icon in one's family. Peggy was always looking out for all of us, even when we lived so far away. It is with great joy that I know she has returned to Christ, and with greater joy to have her as my Aunt.
