That lovely voice is singing Ave Maria to Our Lady in person now. What happy memories I have of her smile, her laugh, her spirit of fun.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Peggy was the Chief of the Acquisitions Department during my tenure as Director of the Parklawn Health Library/DHHS from 1985 through 1998. Peggy was not only a model employee but also a marvelous human being. I will forever miss her.
