Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss!

I always enjoyed seeing Mrs. Tierney at the Corner Health Food store. I loved talking to her. She loved buying ginger beer for her son. I always told her she was my favorite customer and indeed she was. I will miss her forever.

Fay was the best mother-in-law I could ever have had. The first time I met her, she welcomed me so warmly. Then I made a great first impression by pulling the silverware drawer out too far and spilling knives, forks, and spoons all over the kitchen floor. I was terribly embarrassed, but she laughed and helped me pick them all up. She made me feel a part of the family that first day, and ever after.

You were such a GREAT mom to your daughter & son. They will always have those fond memories

Dear Peggy,

I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Your video remembrance touched my heart. The last scene, “My daughter is my best friend” says it all.

Sending kindness and care,

Mary Keller Creswell

I was thinking about you just the other day. Your took care of me when I sliced my thumb during art on a peanut can...I will always keep you dear to my heart... You kept us focused when they decided to add kindergarten classrooms behind your/our classroom... Thank you... for being you...❤

I know I've told you this before, Peg, but your Mom this little 7 yesr old's life. My first two years at Santa Maria I cried every day because I was so afraid to go to school. Through her kindness, empathy, and firmness, I learned to love learning and eventuslly made education my career. Forever grateful.

Peg, I am so sorry for your loss. my prayers are with you and your family.

I had Mrs.Tierney at Diamond Lake School. I remember her fondly. She was a favorite teacher of mine. His speed.
