To my 2nd Mom, Peg was more then just my best friends' mother. I spent a great deal of time at the Mihalick's home on Yeager Ave. And I am sure there were times Peg said, doesn't that Rick have a home of his own? She treated me at times like one of her own sons, in every aspect, and for that I am eternally grateful. I was welcomed with a smile, an invitation for dinner, and a stern but helpful comment when I might have did/said something not appropriate. Peg extended her kindness to my wife (Linda) and our Children (Erin & Richard) and always welcomed my family to her home. Rest in peace dear Peg, you will be missed.
