Not sure what to say?

Dear family of Peg,
I was lucky enough to know Peg for many years as a member of the Mystic and Noank Library writing group. She was a skilled and diligent writer who often took time to look up in a dictionary the particular word we were writing about that day. She wanted us to know all the nuances of the word.

My heart goes out to John and Peg's granddaughters and to Tom Moran and Peg's nieces. Peg shared her considerable knowledge and skills with others.

her commitment to sustainability.

I worked for Peg for two seasons in High School. She was a wonderful woman and I could not have asked for a better person to work for in my first job. She was charismatic and a friend.

My son worked for Peg a few years ago helping her prepare her beds for the glorious blossoms she cultivated. Peg was patient with Jon, teaching him about the flowers he was helping her tend.

We were fortunate to have the flower lady in our midst; she will be missed at the farmers' markets, the library and all of the places she shared her passions. Gail Turgeon

Our deepest sympathy to Peg's family.
