I loved your mom. She was always so nice to talk to when I stopped the gift shop at work on my lunch break. She was always so pleasant and put together. We often talked about how we wanted to go out to Charlestown together. She will be missed.

Peggy was a good friend for many years while she worked in the gift shop at Carroll Hospital. Every afternoon I would go to the gift shop and get 1 peppermint patty and Peggy would joke with me about being a "big" spender and I told her that's all my wife would give me. It became a joke between us. Soon she started having my mint ready when I came in. I enjoyed talking with her and all the wonderful volunteers in the gift shop and the entire hospital. Sorry for your loss of a wonderful person.
