Dear Mike, Darin, Denise, Meg and Family,
I can remember when my mom used to take me to the clothing shop on Main Street to say hello to your mom. Your mother was always so kind. I can remember her smile. I was about 5 years old at the time, and I had always remembered how nice Denise's mom was. That memory has stayed with me. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
Love,
Travis

Dear Darin and Family- Dan and I were very sad to hear of your mother's death. From your days with Danny at nursery school throughout all the teams you shared, I always enjoyed chatting with her. She was a wonderful mother and a "great gal." Bess and Dan Mulvihill

To the Gallagher Family,
I have had the pleasure to know you since we were very young. I will always remember your MOM joined at the hip by your Dad and often your Grandparents not far behind...they were always at every game whether you guys were playing or coaching. She always had this beaming smile and had positive words on the sideline to all-and this is how she seemed to approach everything; whether it was her family, the kids at Manorhaven or her friends. All of us are so sad that such a wonderful person can be taken from us so suddenly-and it is difficult trying to understand it all. Your hearts will heal in time but your Mom can rest in peace knowing that each of you carry many of her great qualities and that you all will lean on eachother and get through this together as a family. The amount of people that came to show their support for all of you is a testament to how wonderful your Mom and family is.
The Gallagher Gang has a special angel looking over you.
With Love,
Raquel Piraino and family

Dear Denise & Family - Words cannot express how saddened Al and I were to hear about your mom. I remember Peggy as a very, happy, outgoing person who always had a smile on her face. She will truly be missed by all who knew her.
Try only to take one day at a time, and with the strength and love of your family, one day your loss will not be as truly painful as it is today.
Sincerely, Janet & Al Cusa

Dear Dennis, Michael, Darin, Denise and Meg,
Words could never express how sorry I am for the pain you are enduring. There were only 2 things better than her smile. Her beautiful singing and the way she loved each of you. I was honored to have been part of her family in the past. I have always considered all of you part of my family. I am here for you so please dont hesitate to contact me for anything.
All my love...

I was a friend of Meg's at TravCorps/Cross Country - and you may remember me from Meg's wedding. I photographed that special day and had the priveledge of meeting and treasuring that day along with you. Yours is a fun and loving family - and your mom the center and star of it all. She was so special...I remember her attention to every tiny detail, wanting it to be a perfect day for Meg & Mark.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all -

Dear Mike,
I teach in PW but never had the privilege of meeting your mom. I say "privilege" because everyone to whom I have spoken who knew her tell the most beautiful stories and say the kindest words about her. I will keep you and your family in my prayers at this time. I believe that your mom is looking down upon all of you and is watching over you. I pray you will all take comfort in that thought.

Dear Gallagher Family,
I am deeply saddened by your loss. I am so sorry that I never got to spend time with Peggy. I am a teacher in Port Washington, and have heard again and again of what a wonderful person she was, and how her smile and laughter brightened any room she was in. I hope it helps a little bit to know that people are holding you close in their hearts -- even people you don't know! My sympathy to all who loved her -
Sandra Wilson, Mayce

Mike I am very sorry to here about your loss. I lived next door to your Grand Parents - father in Port Washington for many years and was able to have the pleasure of meeting your mom many times. I thought she was just a great person always having a smile on her face. I know you will miss her a lot and my heart is with you at this time. Your mom will stay with you in your heart the rest of your life and when you need her you will know she is there. All my love in your time of sorrow

I had the pleasure of working with Peggy at Manorhaven. I recently told her how her shortbread cookies reminded me of the ones that my grandmother used to make. Peggy gave me her recipe so I could make them for my family. I will remember Peggy everytime I make them.

Dear Gallagher Family,
You were the light in Peggy's life. She always spoke of her family with such pride and love. I admired and loved Peggy for the beautiful person that she was from the inside out. She always would light up the day when I saw her wonderful gracious smile. She made me feel welcomed at Manorhaven from day one. We enjoyed many laughs and many deep conversations about our family and our kids. I will miss her deeply and I will always pray for your family. May the deep love and wonderful memories that you have for Peggy see you through this very difficult time. May you find the strength through your faith in the Lord and your love for Peggy to honor her memory by always staying close to one another and know that she will always be with you . She is now an angel in heaven as she was once an angel here on earth. I will miss her very much. It is difficult to enter Manorhaven and not feel her absence. I miss her smile. I am honored to have known her.

I am truly sorry. I have been a resident of Port Washington for 27 years. I am now 28 years old.I met Mrs. Gallagher when I was in the sixth grade, in Manorhaven School, in Mr Grandes class. We even went to Fire Island that year, I remember she didnt stay the entire week, she had to come back to the school and work. My prayers are with you [family]. May God bless each and everyone of you. To me God has received a new angel, because thats what Mrs. G. was, an angel. I will never forget Mrs. G.

We all leave behind a legacy of sorts. I would like to think of Peggy's as our neighborhood guide to motherhood. She taught us all how to be parents. Gary joked with her and asked what she fed those kids to keep them coming back. The Gallagher family has lived our joys and tragedies with us in real time. Her beautiful smile and quick wit will forever hover over our neighborhood.
