Not sure what to say?

What an absolutely wonderful lady. An example to us all.

Dear Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Peggy's passing. I can barely remember a time I did not know her. Beginning when you lived next to my Aunt Inez at Safehaven, later when I became a Teamster and then thru day to day events in our lives. Peggy never seemed to change. You are blessed to have your memories, they will be with you forever.

Janice and Jim, I am so sorry for your loss and the loss of so many of Alaskans with the passing of Peggy. I knew her through her activities with the Amchitka project. I will miss her very much

Salli, I am sorry for your loss. I hope her passing takes her to a better place and leaves those left behind with a sense of peace knowing she's in God's hands now.

Peggy I met you soon after I began working at Victims for Justice. The re-trial of your daughters murderer is how i came to know the sweet soul you are. The Anchorage community has certainly loss a great warrior. I imagine you in heaven gathering flock together for the next rally.

Peggy was definitely one of my greatest mentor when it came to Alaska politics. She was like a lost but found member of my family in Alaska, I would see her at Democratic Party events and we would always catch up with how things were going with me and my kids and how her grandson Bryant was doing. I was sadly pained to hear of her passing, she was definitely a extremely kind and caring person and Alaska has lost a gracious guardian angel of the underdog, vaya con Dios.

I met Peggy when she became a client of ours. What a wonderful lady!
We looked forward to her visits to our office. My husband, now deceased, had known Peggy for many many years and always spoke so highly of her. A true pioneer in every sense of the word. What wonderful memories you must have. .
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Peggy was a wonderful person, and I will miss her dearly...my thoughts are with all of her family...
