Peggy was the the most gentle woman i knew. She was so loveable, a person who was so comfortable just being herself. As a young girl growing up I was always happy when when we met. She transfered her joy to me and made my day.

Peggy put all of her love into her home and family. I will miss seeing her next door and our chats about gardening. Whenever I look at the holly tree I planted in her yard, I will remember how happy she was the day I gifted the little tree to her. She was a wonderful person who knew what real happiness meant.

I only know Peggy for a short time while working with her at Brandywine. She was a great person and through our short talks about my mom passing right before I came to work with her and the battle she was having with cancer at that time. I offered to pray for her and her family. She will always be missed here on earth, but she will always smile in heaven when we think of her.

May God be with you and your family. I have so many fond memeories of your dear mother. Being her friend and neighbor was such a pleasure. We always met up in the supermarker every Sunday and talked and kept people waiting for us to more are carts. It gave me a warm feeling that I could sit with her and talk during her months of illness and put a smile on her face. And to think during her illness she wrote me a thank you note for the little things I did for her. I will always treasure her and she will always have a special place in my heart forever. All of you boys and your family did so much for her and she loved you all.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Peggy's passing. I've known Peggy since I was about 6 yrs. old. We were little West End girls way back when from Valley Rd & Strode Ave. I will always remember her smile and that sparkle in her eyes when she laughed, and every time we ran into each other over the years we had long conversations about our kids, our parents, work, & whatever. Peggy was such a kind person who will be truly missed. Rest in peace my friend.
