I knew Peggy for many years while living at SummerRidge in Reston. She was a dear neighbor and loving friend to my English Cocker Spaniel! I never forgot the card she sent me when I lost him to cancer. After moving to Reston Town Center in 1999, I continued to see Peggy at the card shop where she continued to work, I believe well into her 90's. I am sure that you Mom touched many others the way she did me. Sending hugs to all of you.
