Having Peg for a sister in law was never a bore. Besides the no filling on peter's bread, one challanges was when she had only four of the children with her on the Staten island Ferry and couldn't fine NJ.
But she was always kind, caring and interested in you.
God Bless her and her cildren.

Peg's spirit is free once again! I feel so blessed to have had her as my mother-in-law. Never judgmental and always positive, Peg lived her life to the fullest and loved her family above all else. She was an inspiration to me and hopefully, to all who knew her. Her smile and beautiful spirit I shall always carry with me. My heartfelt sympathy to all her children and their families.
Love,
Jo
