Not sure what to say?

In 1982 —-She was my Nursing instructor who Was The most influential teacher I ever had. When I graduated I got her flowers —because She was more then words could say. I am so sorry for your loss Heaven has gained another angel who finished her job on earth

My sincere condolences to the Switzer family. Mrs Switzer was the Director of the MDTP Practical nursing program. This program gave an opportunity to many single mothers to get an education. Mrs Switzer stands out in my memory of that time. She influenced and encouraged meny. We were the best because of her strict fair ways. Thanks to her many of us were encouraged to expand our education. We held our heads high and walked the halls of the hospital with grace and pride. Thank-you Mrs...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family and especially to Lynn and Coll. As my sister mentioned, we were priviledged to have Peg's medical services available when we were young, even if it required a house-call. Later in life, my son had the good fortune of marrying into the family. Peg was a highly respected member of our neighborhood and obviously a highly respected matriarch of her clan.

As old neighbors of the Switzer family, and coincidentally, later related by the marriage of Lynn's daughter Colleen to my nephew, I would like to extend my sympathy to all of her descendants. I remember her smile, and when any kid in the neighborhood got hurt, they were promptly taken to Peg's house for patching-up. You are all lucky to have had her for so long, and we were fortunate to have known her. She will live on in all our memories,

I worked with Peg for years on the credit union's credit committee. Our meetings were always upbeat, productive, and professional. I always enjoyed her company and her Irish wit. Safe Home now, Peg.

To the family: I appreciated very much knowing Peg and working with her in our local AARP Chapter. as you probably know, she was very dedicated to the Chapter, worked hard for it in many ways and attended functions even within the last year. We will miss here very much. God be with you.

Sorry for your loss. I had only met Grandma Peg a handful of times over the years but knew she was a pretty great lady by how highly the family talked about her. We're thinking of you all and hope to see you all during our end of May, beginning of June visit.
