McFarland's & Cousins, In the photographs of Auntie Peggy I can see our whole family and all the memories rush back. I see my Dad "chaperoning" Aunt Peg and Uncle Ed at the Pleasant Cafe. The feasts she would prepare for the holidays when everyone would gather at the McFarland's winter residence in West Roxbury. She was my Dad's favorite cook. Summer days in Duxbury going to the Little Beach or over the bridge to the Big Beach. Thank you for all the wonderful times. Love, Barbara Delaney

Dan and I want the family to know how we remember Peg at Susan and Bill's wedding, Mary Kate's first birthday, and Mary Shields' funeral service. Her devotion to her grandchildren and to Bill were so evident. We know all will feel her presence at Susannie's upcoming wedding. Our thoughts to each of you. Dan and Virginia Schnurr
