Praying for the entire Amabile family during this time of sorrow. Peggy will forever be remembered as one of the kindest, sweetest people I have been graced to have known in my lifetime. She always had a smile on her beautiful face and always had kind words to say. I was honored by her husband John, as I was able to share some of her last days here on earth with Peggy and her family. May her loving soul rest in eternal peace.

Please know that we are there with you in our hearts. We wish we could be there in person. We may be thousands of miles away, but we feel your sorrow as if we were still across the street.

She was a second mother to me when I was young. She taught me how to swim, corrected me when I was wrong, which was often. But she did it never in a mean spirit, but caring. Peggy was a wonderful woman and will be missed. May you rest comfortably with God in heaven.
