Not sure what to say?

Gentle, that´s the word that comes to mind when I think of her. She was sweet, calm, reassuring and a loving force. You never felt unwelcome or diminished in her presence. I would have loved to have been one of her students. She was the perfect counter to Hop´s excitable ways. Her children are as gracious and giving as she was, they learned well at her knee! We were all Blessed to have known her and someone who lives on forever in all of us. God Bless you all, love, Diane Phillips Cassetta

To Peggy's Family,
I went to high school with Peggy and enjoyed her company immensely. She was totally sincere and honest. My sincerest condolance on the loss of this lovely woman. Joanne Golas

What a loss for family, friends and colleagues, alike. I am so sorry to learn about Peggy. I taught with Peg and Marilyn at BHNS back in the early 80's. Peggy was so kind to me. I remember her soft voice, her introspection, her love of children, especially her Molly (who was 4 years old and came to us after school).

To Peggy's Family-
Peg and I have known each other since 6th grade. We shared many good times and had a long talk at our 50th reunion. May your memories of her sustain you through this difficult time. God bless you all.

Chris, Erin and all of the Harrigan family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know you will cherish the time you had together and I hope you have an unending supply of wonderful memories to sustain you. You are all in my thoughts.

She was my daughters kindergarten teacher she was AWESOME, she will be missed. Our condolences to the family. Rae Martin

To Peggy's Family, My sincere sympathy to all. Peggy was a great friend.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Peg's passing. I had the wonderful opportunity to work in Peg/Anne's Kindergarten classroom at Roberts before starting my teaching career. I learned many valuable lessons and will forever remember Peg's determination and calm, gentle demeanor. She touched many hearts in her years and we're lucky to have her as our angel. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
