My condolences to Peggy's family. I worked with her for many years at Hillcrest Hospital - her desk was right next to mine. We became very good friends. We called her "Daisy May" because at lunch time, she would go out back of Hillcrest and pick the daisies and bring them back into the office. We loved her - such a wonderful sense of humor and kind lady. She will be greatly missed. So sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Peggy and just loved her. She had a dry sense of humor and a perfect work ethic and always got the gist of what was said. We had lunch and break together often. In fact last week I dug out her recipe for chicken wings because it has been years since I made them. And I bought the wings last night to make tomorrow thinking of Peggy the whole time. Then saw that she passed today. As an aside, my ex asked me for this recipe last week after I already dug it out. I think Peggy was saying Hello.

Mark, I remember your mother with great affection and still recall the gatherings at your house in Junior High School, when we would gather to play cards. I hope that her memory will be a blessing that and that your grief is tempered by gratitude as you celebrate your mother´s remarkable life.
