We are so sorry for your loss. My mother Mary will miss her dear cousin terribly. Peggy and I enjoyed swapping family genealogy tips; she had such a wealth of knowledge about and love for her family. May you find comfort in knowing she's with them now in God's grace.

I will always be grateful to Aunt Peg for being so kind and helpful to "John's girls" when Dad died. She was a source of comfort to us and a great help in making arrangements regarding his service and apartment. She was the last one left who remembered the Boland family history. My prayers to you, Billy, and your family, especially Amanda. Love, Pam Boland MacKinnon
