Hi Peggy,
I often think about our struggles tas we wrote our Ph.D. dissertations together just 9 years ago. We were the first 2 inour cohort! What a team. Everytime I get a notice about an event at BC I want to call you to see if we can go together. Please know that your good will and kindness will live on forever. May God bless you as He has blessed us with your kindness and passion over the years.
I do miss you.
Lots of Love,
Diane

Another school year has started and I miss Peggy more and more. I miss her visits to Campbell and her stories about the Cape. We will never forget you Peggy.

To Peggy,family and friends, It's getting near the end of the school year, and I am able to sit and write to Peggy. I am so sorry for your loss. It was such a shock. I worked for her and we have so many great, funny memories. She would always call me to come to Latin and make them laugh, really it was her who made us all laugh. She had such a kind heart and quirky manner that she will never be forgotten. Unified is not the same without her! I miss our conversations, we had alot in common, like our Taurus cars and family values, ...She was a special person who helped many students and adults in her short life. Rest in Peace, Dr. Hoban, You Deserve it!! Also,thank you for everything you've done for me and especially for our memories. Love from Karen (your buddy)

It's hard to believe Peggy has been gone for over a month...I'm still waiting for her to come flying through the office with that great big smile. She is missed by all at Unified. My thoughts and prayers are with you

To the Family,
My prayers go out to you at this time of lost. It is a great lost to all of us... We will all miss seeing Peg's smile and hearing her funny jokes at Latin Academy.
With Sympathy,

Dear Peggy.. I felt it was about time that I "formally" talked to you. Up until today (maybe because your Funeral Mass is over... and I have seen you at your final resting place), I became filled with the need to tell you how much you will be missed. You were my boss, but our friendhip was much deeper (and longer)than that ...and somehow(with God's help) it, at times tested the limits... but we ALWAYS came out on top. I love you and miss you. Rest in Peace, Robyn

My thoughts and prayers are with Peggy's family and so many friends today. I am so sorry I cannot be there with them. Peggy and I were roommates in college and spent wonderful, happy times together. She "mothered" me, of course, which was amazing and so caring. I couldn't have had a better friend or "chambre mat". I will always remember her kindness and friendship. Peggy obviously had a life - albeit way too short - full of love and wonderful friends.

Peggy,
You have no idea how much you've touched my family's life. You have been with us though everything. You were such an amazing friend to have. We were all blessed to know you. You and my mother were the best of friends and I was greatful to always be included. We've shared so many moments down the Cape. You have been there for me throughout my time at Boston Latin. I couldn't imagine being there without you. You were an amazing person. We love you.

Dear Family and Friends of Peggy: I was shocked and saddended to hear of her sudden passing. Family and friends came first to her. The fondest memories I have of Peggy were her genuine compassion and kindness when others were faced with difficult situations. Peggy was one of a kind, and will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jennifer Corish-White

Dearest Peggy,
You have been an inspiration to me. Our struggles to write our dissertations together bring back so many wonderful and funny memories. You named me "Polly" and guided me in more ways than you could ever know. Please know how much I love and miss you.

When I think of Peggy, I smile. She was a person who would change the atmosphere in a room from the moment she entered it. Her bubbly personality, her smile and stories will surely be missed. May you rest in peace.

Dear Family and Friends of Peggy,
My heart and prayers are with you as we grieve the loss of our dear Peggy. She reflected God's love, joy, enthusiasm and generosity to so many. Life was always more fun when she was around. Her LOYALTY to God, her family and friends was the hallmark of her life. I am so thankful for the gift of her friendship and pray her family will take solace in the truth that she is with the Lord, free from suffering and pain.
Love,
Patricia McCarthy Smith '72 Emmanuel

Peggy,
Who will I sit by at all of our meetings and who will tell me all of those great jokes and who will keep the keys to keep the back room at Unified Services from being cited? A great woman whom I loved being around especially when things got crazy at the office...so very missed already.

Dear Peggy,
You have been a wonderful neighbor and friend. I will miss your energy and vitality. I envision you now, on a beautiful scenic beach, with relatives and friends having a blast. You will be missed.

Peggy, you did your job well and you will be sorely missed by many etf's and etf clerks, as you made our jobs a little easier. Rest in Peace, your job is done.

What a true loss! You certainly knew how to liven things up. You made my first job as ETF more manageable and you were a great friend. You will be sorely missed!

My dear Peggy Ann,
I will love you always and I will remember your favorite saying " WWMD". Mary Frances ,Peggy did the right thing and she is in heaven with the rest of our family. Seeing her suffering is something that you would not want her to do, look at me with Tommy, 9 years of tears and sadness. I love you and remember that, but with our faith in God, we know where she is and probably giving orders to God!
