Well Billy, it is hard to believe how many years have passed since "Miss Peggy" passed. Donna and I still talk about your Dad and Mom and the time we spent in Florida. It was always a pleasure getting caught up on what was going on in Southie since we live south of Boston. Although much time has passed, the fond memories continue on. Hope you are well Billy.

Dear Billy,

My Husband and I vacationed for many years with your Mom and Dad at the Driftwood, we were very sorry to hear yesterday of your Mom's passing.

I remember meeting you once with your co-worker Danielle who was my neighbor and again at your Dad's passing.

Please accept our sincere thoughts of sympathy on your loss.

Billy, thanks for calling me today, we thought that something must be wrong since your mom didn't answer her phone. We would talk every few months and on every conversation she would tell us what a great son she has. We will miss your mom just as much as your dad, but the memories will live on. Our thoughts are with you.

Mr. Maasdam, so sorry to hear about Peggy's passing - she was a great lady, I'm in Florida so I'll be unable to attend the wake/funeral - I'll keep her in my prayers.
