My Mom, Peggy, never did anything just half-way. Once she decided on doing something - a project, a creative endeavor, spending time with friends and family, supporting/helping people, decorating the house for the holiday season - she did it with all her heart, all her mind, and all her soul. She lived life with great energy, enthusiasm, intensity, and a positive attitude imbued with resilience and an "I can find a way to overcome challenges/obstacles" approach to problem solving. My Mom was kind and compassionate towards people - she could make anyone she met for the first time feel comfortable and laugh. She had a remarkable natural ability to read people and sense sincerity or insincerity. She was intelligent and quick-witted. All these qualities she possessed had a beneficial effect on all those she knew and touched who will never forget her love of life. Peggy was a wonderful person whose spirit lives on in all of us. I was blessed to have a mom like her and I am eternally grateful. I miss you Mom and love you so much always and forever.

Mom and her buddy, Jake

When it comes to mother in law's, I won the lottery! Peggy was cool, fun, giving, funky, artistic, energetic and most of all, loving. I have so many wonderful memories shopping with Peggy and her grand daughters. We would always start our shopping adventures with Starbucks and end with a treat. I love you Peggy ❤

Peggy Daniels, my mother, was the coolest person I've ever met. She taught me to respect life in all forms, to take one day at a time, and to try to face life's challenges with a smile. I will miss her boundless energy, her amazing creativity and artistic talent, the good times she spread to those around her, and most of all just being around her. I love you forever - Rest in Peace Mom.
