On behalf of my mother (Alice) and my sister (Annemarie), please accept our deepest sympathy. We will miss Peg. I will always remember how she welcomed us into the Our Lady of Lourdes family with her natural warm smile while my uncle was the pastor. It was great to see her again just recently in Williamstown at a CDA Conference. We hope your happy memories will give you strength. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Peg at the Davis, Kennedy and Arnone schools. It seems every time we moved to a new school we continued our friendship. She was a great lady and I will miss her!

Paul, PJ, Debby and all of the Cayer Family, I lectored at the 10 AM Mass today and didn't even make the connection when announcing Peg's upcoming Funeral Mass. I guess I was too focused on my Dad's 5th anniversary.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to all of you at this most trying of times. I will have nothing but fond memories of Peg's smiling eyes and face. We've all lost such a wonderful family member and friend. Sincerely, Paul Murphy

Hi Paul and family,
I'm so very sorry to hear about Peggy's passing. She was such a fun person. Enjoyed seeing her at Sister's new apartment shower at Barbard Latham's house and at Ann James's house for our Prayer Shawl Ministry. She was such a help to Sister in teaching CCD. She always said yes. Peggy was so dependable, always prepared. It is so hard to comprehend that I won't see her again. My thoughts are with you Paul. Shirley

Peggy, I will miss you terribly both as a friend, and also as a CCD teacher. You are a very humble person with a great sense of humor. I enjoyed every minute with you. Pray for us Peg!

God Bless Pegann - She reminded me often that we (Synan's/Granfield's) were the only people who still called her Pegann.
I will miss my godmother. And I remember her fondly.
