Mitchell Family,
As you know Peg and Myles were long time residents of the Episcopal House and had a great many friends here. When Myles passed away Peg was very lonely without him. But she always had that spirit and twinkle in her eye that i believe kept her strong. Your entire family was just wonderful. I'm sorry for your loss but I'm sure Peg and Myles are delightfully happy now.
fondly,
chris bauder
manager
and friends at the Episcopal House

Our Aunt Peggy will be missed by all. She is now with her God in heaven, she is also with the one she loved most, our Uncle Myles, along with her Mom & Dad, her brothers, Paul & Joseph, her sister in law cele, and her dear sister Mary, who she loved dearly.She will now be the angel on the shoulders of Paul, Gerry, Erin and the girls, who took such good care of her through the loneliest time of her life, life without her Myles.
Peggy was surrounded with love from all her nieces and nephews from one end of the country to the other end. We will all miss her. May she rest in peace.
