You had a wonderful mother. We became close as neighbors in Munster

and continued our friendship when we

moved. She was so full of life and fun and so caring for others' problems.



She shall be missed by all who knew

her.

My mother is Nancy O'Shea (prior, Kamraczewski or Ploski). I'd have to consider Peggy one of my mother's closest & dearest friends. I don't know what we would have done without her when my mom had her stroke. We could always count on Peggy to spend full days with her while she was in ICU to relieve us. Then, after my mom finally got to come back home, Peggy always remembered her & visited. She was a great friend. We will all truly miss her.
