I was so sorry to hear of Peggy's passing. She was a lovely lady. We would talk to one another as I babysat my grandson. She adored her grandchildren and was very close to her daughter. She was so glad to live near her daughter and did many things with her and the grandchildren. I know she will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to her family. May they receive the graces to endure their sorrow. I was glad to have known her. Eleanor Zubee (David Marchetti's mom.)
