Not sure what to say?

Terry, We will miss your Mom. She was full of life, quite a vivacious person! She always had a smile on her face. My favorite memory is when we attended her 60th b-day. When she found out I am also an October baby she joked that we Libras have to stick together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jen and your families.
Love, Kristen, Rob and Ariana

Terry and Jennifer,
Sorry for the loss of your Mom. I have many memories of your mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Dear Terry and Jen,
I was in the novitiate with Mom. Peggy kept me laughing from morning until night. Her humor was such a gift to me and the other Sisters. Today, there is more laughter in heaven but I know you are suffering a great loss. I will keep you in my prayers. Peace! Irene Desharnais

My acquaintance with Peggy began in 1958 when we were postulants together in Framingham. Quick wit, a cheery, bright, sometimes sly smile, and a spritely walk. Many of us will remember the treats from her plastic pockets, and all will treasure the time we spent in her company.

HI Terry & Jen,
I met your mother in 1954 when we started high school at Mt. St. Joseph's. She was always laughing, and happy and that quality endeared her to everyone she met. I also entered the convent with her in the class of '58, but did not stay long. She was an inspiration to many people because she was kind, caring and knew that God would take care of the problems. The world is less for the loss, but heaven will be jumping for joy!

Dear Terry and Jennifer,

So sorry to hear about " Peggy's " death. I knew your mother many years ago in the Novitiate,and for tens years thereafter . Everyone is right on the mark about her wonderful sense of humor and always fun to be around. I was stationed in Chelsea and Peggy's mother often chauffeured us sisters to various and sundry places. Mrs. Keating also had a wonderful sense of humor... so I guess the old adage is true : " The apple doesn't fall far from the tree ." What...

Terry and Jen,

I was one of the party of 58. Peggy and I had many laughs together. She was such an alive person and always looked at the bright side of things. I just wrote to her recently and was very saddened to hear of her death.

Terry,
I have many memories of Peggy from the time I met her in 1958. She was a fun-loving person who always thought of others. I visited her when she was teaching in North Quincy and little did I know that one day I would be principal and welcome her back when the school celebrated the 25th anniversary. Recently, I received a card from Peggy and all the memories came back. Prayerful remembrance during these days of grieving. Ann Marie Ghiloni, CSJ Party of '58

Dear Terry and Jennifer,
How saddened I am to hear of Peggy's death! I was with her in the novitiate and visited her in August. I will always remember her bright and beautiful smile.
