Create unforgettable moments with those you love.Peggy did just that, with each family member. Use the memories to keep her close and share the stories with any one who will listen!!!. In time those wonderful memories will bring more smiles than tears. Thank you Peggy for letting me in with open arms:-)

Peg was an extremely strong woman and I'm going to miss her very much. I always enjoyed going into St.Camillus, taking care of her and seeing her smiling face. I had some clam chowder in her honor the other night and I know she'd be proud :) very sorry to the entire Jacques family for the loss of a magnificent woman<3

I am so very sorry for your loss. It makes me very sad to know that I will not get to see Peg when I go into St. Camilla's because she was one of my favorites. I do not think I can ever eat clam chowder without thinking about her again. (extra potatoes just for her)She was such a joy to take care of and her Pegitude will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To all my nieces and nephews and all their families, I will always remember and cherish the 61 of my 64 years that I was prvileged to share with my sister-in-law, Peggy. Liz and I will always remember the good times we had with Phil and Peggy for so many years. Peggy has finally gotten her prayers answered by God. She now can rest in peace with her husband, friend, and soulmate, Phil. She deserves this happiness after all the pain she went through for so many years with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She was blessed with a wonderful family who truly loved and respected her. Please don't mourn for her too long. Instead, think of all the happy times your families have had with Peggy and Phil. Keep these memories in your mind and heart and be happy that Peggy is in a better and safer place with her beloved husband, Phil where there's no pain and loneliness.. With love and affection to all of you! Uncle Norman & Aunt Liz

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our nieces, nephews, and all the loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the lady that was my sister-in-law and best friend for 61 of my 64 years. We will always remember and cherish the times we had with Phil & Peggy. Peggy must be in her glory to be finally reunited with her husband, friend, and soulmate, Phil. May the knowing how much she wanted to be with Phil give the family the peace of mind to carry on and not mourn too long for her. Keep the happy times with her in your mind and heart forever. With much love to all of you, Uncle Norman & Aunt Liz (South Grafton, MA)

The love of her family kept her safe while she lived her life with us.
The love of her husband will keep her safe while they are above watching us.
Their journey will be filled with the missed love for one another.
While they are in each other arms enjoying those missed hugs and kisses.
We will be sheading our tears and healing our hearts as we give our hugs and kisses.
As your family will always miss you.
We are sure of what you want to do.
Go to you husband now that you are well.
There is no longer the pain and sorrow
you had from not feeling well.
We All Love You and Will Miss You!!!
Love you

To all my cousins and their families,
I am so very sorry for your loss. She was one of the most sweetest woman around. I remember when Aunt Kitty and I would go over to visit her when I live them. Then once Elisha-ann was born I would bring her to visit. Aunt Peggy and Uncle Philip would always be flirting and picking on each other. They were the cutest couple of all times it was true love for them. They can finally be together again. My prayers are with all of you through this difficult time. She will be missed not only by me and my family, but anyone who knew her. She is starting her new journy with the love of her life Uncle Philip. You will be missed.
Love Kerrysue and Elisha-ann

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To all my cousins and their families,
Steve & I are truly sorry for your great loss. We are praying for you all that God gives you the strength to go through this most difficult time in your lives. We hope that you will rely on God to help you and to lean on your families and friends for support.
Aunt Peggy finally got what she most wanted since Uncle Philip had passed....and that was to be reunited with him. I am so happy for her but will miss her. I have always enjoyed the visits my mom and & had at her house...and to hear all of her chimes going off outside in the sunhouse.
Again...may God be with you all.
Love Sherry & Steve

Our sympathy to the entire Jacques family. Mrs. Jacques was a very nice lady and always had a kind thing to say whenever we saw her. She loved children especially our little babies whenever they went over for a visit. She will be missed dearly... may the happy memories live on in your hearts forever.

Brian, I am so sorry. It's always hard to lose a grandparent. The good news is that you represent her as a fantastic teacher and an amazing father.

Gram was the "BEST" Kids gram there ever was. She was known as the most family oriented person in the world. Her pride was her family as well as her Irish Heritage. I could not ask for a better mother in law in the world. I was always told that "Mother-in-Laws" were the worst. Well I have to tell you... SHE WAS THE BEST! I will miss you, I will always love you, and I will always take care of your son. Tell Grampy we love him and miss him more... Your Daughter-in-Law.... *Diane
