Peggy was a very thoughtful, cheerful lady. She was the first person to welcome my family into the neighborhood and always friendly to us. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.

My dearest friend Peg,

I have dreaded this day for a long time & i can't imagine life without you. Even though you did not recognize me any more, i found comfort in seeing you from time to time but i wish it had been more often. Somehow i thought you would hold on longer. I will cherish all the good times we had together, as well as the bad. You, John & your wonderful children were always there for me & Liz & i will be forever grateful. Life has seemed somewhat dull without you & Jim to liven the parties, especially in SI. I know how lucky i am to have had you in my life as a close friend & confidant. We shared many thoughts & feelings together about life & no matter how bad things were you always made me laugh uncontrollably. Somehow you even had me & Liz laughing at Jim's funeral. Some of your sayings were hysterical, like the bomb diggity, are you fired up (it was the look in your face when you said it), just to name a few. Life will never be the same, you leave such a void in my life & others that can't be filled. I hope you are at peace and having a blast in heaven, they are certainly lucky to have you to entertain them. I love you & will miss you but i look forward to the day when we reunite and carry on again. Your friend, Kathy Munn

Belly laughs and fun were the essence of Peggy Fisher. She never disappointed and gave it her all. I've missed you for such a long time already. Now when it thunders it won't be "the angels bowling" as we were taught as little Catholics. I suspect it will be you have the grandest time with God. My deepest deepest sympathy Fisher family.
