Jim and Frank, very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with your mom a long time ago at the Mariner Inn. She was always upbeat and funny and loved to talk about how great her kids were. I enjoyed getting some of Peg's perspective on just about anything and each short conversation would typically end in a laugh. I guess she must now has God's ear which should help the Phillies chances.

Aunt Peg, what a great lady! She will be missed. I remember her explaining how she earned every wrinkle on her face and always laughing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jimmy, Frankie, Gary, and Lizzard, the wonderful memories we have shared with "Pep and Peg" and all of you as you grew up and with your families now that you are parents are always in our hearts and mind.
All of the parties, graduations, weddings and of course the time around "The Kitchen Table" or "The Front Porch". Peg's "Chicken Soup" and "Pepper Steak" would keep us all full as we would drink our beer and wine and just enjoy our families being together.
The love and friendship between our two families is something that is so special to us and even with this time of loss we know that Pep and Peg are together in Heaven with Peggy Ann and they will be watching over us and will always be in our minds whenever we are together.
