Dear kids, So sorry to hear of your loss. I and my family had many good times with Peggy and your father Bob-especially over a few beers up camp and other places. Sorry I couldn't make the wake etc. LOVE cousin Franny.

Dear Jimmy, Paul, Robby, and Jayne,



What a remarkable woman your mother was! One of my first memories of her was when she took the whole neighborhood, along with you guys, to the beach at City Point! What fun!! She was always the life of the party, quick to forgive, quicker to laugh, and full of love!

What a great Mom to have! When you are really blue and feeling the loss of her presence, don't forget she's in Heaven praying for you and enjoying the greatest reward of all!



Fondly, Tom Keogh

Dear Paul, Janey, Robbie and Jimmy,



You are in my thoughts. I am so sorry for your loss. I can hear your mom's distinctive laugh as I marvel at the invention of an electronic guest book.



With love,

Christine
