My sincere condolences to your family. I knew Diane (Hess) though my brother Joe Sullivan and my cousin Maryjane Henneberry Quinn. I have always cherished my friendship with Hess and the love that both of our families shared, naturally Hess's mother being a big part of that. I truly believe that your mother, Hess and Jeanne are now all together somehow. I hope so.
Sincerely,
Maryellen Sullivan

I have known Peggy for several years through her wonderful son, Paul. I have great memories of visiting her on the back deck of Paul and Janet's home and other party venues. She was always very friendly and was fun to visit with. You could tell that she was proud of her family and that they all loved and respected her.
I will fondly remember her .

I am very sorry for your loss, Peg was such a wonderful lady. She always wore a smile, and had kind words.
I worked at Sunrise in Norwood for awhile and enjoyed knowing Peg and her sister Mary, I always thought it was ideal that they could be together, yet have their own apartments. I'm sure it was a comfort to them both.
