Dearest Peg,
Thank you for bringing so much love and joy to our lives. I cherished listening to your incredible stories and will miss the laughter they would always bring. I feel incredibly lucky to have known you Peg and will be thinking of you often. Thanks for all of the memories, I'll hold them near and dear to my heart. Lots of love "Pheeba".

When our Mom passed you helped us bring it together, and remember that life had to go on. And when Dad passed...

Peg, my dear, sweet neighbor on Boyden St. in Eastwood ... Oh, how I'll miss you! For 10 years you were the perfect neighbor. For such an age difference between us, there was no age difference! You were ageless and young at heart, and funny and wise and sweet as pie. I felt such a sense of peace with you living in the apartment above me. We watched each others' backs, and we became the very best of friends.

I still miss my fun times talking to you and Nellie at her house down...
