Dear Brooks Family ~ it hardly seems *possible* that it has now been a year without your beloved wife/mom/grandmother. Peggy was a bright, shining light in a sometimes grim world. A lovely Irish rose! I miss her warm hugs and her always lighthearted greeting of "Hi, Hon, how-ahhh ya?" with that wonderful New England accent of hers. I'm sure you miss that and so much more from her, too. God bless each of you with peace and continued healing ... ♥♥

Les, The news of Peg's passing provoked such memories of our high school days. Her whispering "Every body loves a lover" still rings in my ears. That song seemed to have been her motto throughout her entire life. Prayers for her continued service in the next world and sympathy are with you .

Peggy always had a smile and a kind word every time we spoke. She is one of those people who makes everyone around them happier, and I cannot think of a better quality in a person.
