Richard and family,
I was surprised to read of Peggy's passing. I've known that she hasn't felt well for some time, but she was too young and had so much more to give. She was such a delight when she taught or made comments in church. She always had a different way of looking at life and it gave me food for thought.

I know that it isn't easy to loose your companion. No matter how much one thinks they are prepared it is a shock to have it happen. I extend my deepest condolences to you and the kids. Hopefully you are feeling the comfort that comes from the Lord.

Dear Richard, I was very sorry to hear about Margaret's passing at such a young age. When I got the notification from Evelyn, it reminded me of the time Peggy Bosselman & I were up in Ogunquet, ME for the day and we ran in to you with family visiting. I hope you and your family are doing well and know that you are thought of at this time. (formerly of Cambridge, MA)

I was saddened to hear of Aunt Peggy's death. I will always remember her quick wit, her vibrant, outgoing personality and her genuine warmth; she was one of a kind, and she won't be forgotten.

To Richard and family: I'm so sorry to hear about Peggy. I do hope she didn't suffer. I hope the past years have been good for you as a couple and I wish, as her friend from Boston, we had seen more of her. Best wished to you and please accept my condolances.
