Peg was a true delight. I didn't know her well but our love of animals, most particularly dogs, was a bonding point when we met here in Costa Rica. She had a generous heart and a smiling personality. She was smart but gentle. I know she will be greatly missed and I count myself fortunate to have met her. My deepest sympathies to Tim and their extended families. May the peace of God be with you all.

I knew Peg since childhood. She started the family business with my father. When I started working for her, she and I rarely got along. She was my boss, after all. She always told me what to do, and I didn't want to do it. She always called me a "spoiled brat," and she was right. As the years passed, my respect for her grew. Fast forward to my divorce, after just a few years of marriage, she was among the most supportive and caring individuals I had ever known. She helped me stay strong and focus on my son's future. She was a smart, kind, and loving person, with many experiences to share. Thank you, Peg, for everything. You will be missed.
