I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Peggy last year and get to know her. Her contagious laugh and warm, gracious personality were such a bright spot on our team and her absence leaves a true empty space. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for you during this difficult time as you remember your wife, mother, and grandmother - and navigate a new life with memories of such a wonderful life well lived.

I had the honor and privilege to have worked with Peggy and during that time, I really got to know a lot about her. Peggy would share stories from her childhood and raising her children and she would often give me great advice when I went to her with questions about being a Mother. I became a Mother late in life and Peggy really helped me out when I had some struggles; she made things “make sense” for me and really put me at ease. I will always cherish my friendship with her and will miss her greatly.

I did not know Peggy personally but I felt I had a connection to her through her amazing daughters, Lori and Tracy. What a tribute to Peggy to have such loving, thoughtful and caring children.
I know this has been such a difficult time for the family. Peggy was surrounded by the love of her family and there is such great comfort in that.
I am asking God to send comforting blessings and peace to each and every one of the family members.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Again, my sincerest condolences.
