Merry,Dennis,Shelley,Shannon,Andrew and Stacey - I never met you, Dennis, but I knew all about you. You kids may remember me as Barbara de la O. I met Peggy when she and I worked together at Applied Materials. I used to call her the "Phoo Phoo" lady; she was so particular about how her boss' office looked let alone her own desk. My nickname for her was Pug. I called her that from the time I met her until the last time I talked to her about a year ago. She and I went through everything together - men, kids, jobs, life. She was my big sister. She was my best friend. She was part of my heart and I will miss her terribly. I thought we had lost her once before, but her spirit and her love for her family pulled her through. I thank God for letting me be a part of her life.

Dearest Merry and Dennis, I've lost my sweet older sister on Thanksgiving; a day we won't ever forget. She was one of kind, who always had a loving heart, and who really brought a big smile to my face. Through all of her trials and illnesses, she taught us all how to not give up. We shared so much together, and I will always remember her with a heavy heart. Love you Peggy...your younger sister, Susan (just by 8 mos..)May you not suffer anymore and Rest in Peace.
