I think of her every time I listen to the Moody Blues.

I worked with Peggy at Bank of America in the early 80s. She was a lovely woman who always had a smile and a kind word for others, and I'm heartbroken to read of her passing. She surely left us way too soon.

It was such a pleasure getting to know Peggy through work at Merrill Chase. Peggy was a delight to speak with, so helpful, and warm. Merrill Chase is gone but Peggy will be forever in my memory.. " Good things don't last forever,they just pass through-leaving imprints on the heart and mind. Such a sadness to lose you.



Your friend & Co-worker

"That which we once enjoyed and deeply loved

we can never lose,

for all that we love deeply

becomes a part of us"

We lived in Cary at 15 Tealwood Ct. back in the mid 90's. Peggy was always so friendly and caring to our children Sommer and Christian. We are saddened to learn of her passing and will keep Harlan and the entire Geist family in our prayers.

For my friend, I cannot help but grieve



Yet, there is a place in Heaven, I believe



For those who are pure of heart and soul



This I hold close to help console



Peggy is there, inside Heaven's gate



There she must be, and there she will wait



For those who will follow, she'll guide the way



Until it is time to join her one day



Life is a journey like no other



The best one can do is to touch another



Peggy touched many, enriching their lives



Her wisdom, courage and strength survives



In all of us who were so blessed to know



The caring and kindness she would always show



In Heaven, a new journey for Peggy now starts



While memories of her will live on in our hearts

The world is no longer the better place we try to make it be. Peg was

that person that made the world better. We now have big shoes we can never fill,but a good example to model ourselves after. The sun is a little brighter now because

we can see and feel her smile everyday. We just have to look up.
