My condolences to Peggy's family & friends,
I can never look at a can of Progresso soup without thinking of Peggy, as that is what she ate just about everyday I worked with her at Bowdoin St. Health Center. I have many happy memories of Peggy and miss her beautiful smile. God Bless you Peggy, as you join the angels in heaven.
Love you, Sheila

I remember Peggy fondly as a neighbor growing up at 145 Father Zeiser Place in the Bronx. She and my sister, Ginny, were the fastest of friends and did everything together.
Peggy was a loving person and a true friend to all around her. Her life was a success and she is now wrapped in the arms of God.
My condolences to the family and a special prayer as well to Marlene who always had a kind word for my brother, Doug, and me.

Matt,
My condolences and thoughts to you as you experiece the loss of your mother and an amazing woman. Her contributions to our community were so numerous. Her legacy lives on in every person she has touched, but most obviously in you and your own commitment to service of others. Wishing you peace and healing in the warm memories of your Mom.

Peggy was my very first “best friend”. We lived across the hall from each other and were constant visitors to each other’s apartment on the 4th floor, she, I believe, in 4A and I in 4C at 188th Street in the Bronx.
She is actually part of my very first childhood memory: I had a serious case of pneumonia and can remember her standing in the doorway of my bedroom waving and mouthing the words “I love you”. When I recovered, we would visit another neighbor (who had the very first television in the neighborhood), sit on her living room floor and watch Howdy Doody together. Two girls bonding.
Our mothers always made certain that we had matching nightgowns. We both preferred floral.
Her mother was a saint. She not only mothered Marlene and Peggy, she cared for me when my mother was stricken with Tuberculosis. She would march us into the bathroom and have us lean over the tub to wash our hair with left over cakes of soap that were melted in water. Peggy had the most astounding head of hair-long and THICK and always shiny, thanks to her mom. I, on the other hand, had snarliest, finest hair that took forever to be disentangled-a chore she clearly did not relish but did because she was Mary.
I see her mother in Peggy’s career choice.
Our family moved to White Plains and we did not get to see each other until we were both young career girls. Peggy was in NY for the day and I escaped from Lord and Taylor to see her for lunch. We hadn’t changed and yet we had. We were young women, we were on our own and the world was our oyster.
Rest in peace dear friend.
Love,
Ginny
