Eileen, Kathy Timmy and Buddy,
I am deeply sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I will always remember all the fun times on Orchard Street, especially the Pokeno and card games. Peggy was a wonderful person and will be missed by many.
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
