The loss of a wonderful person such as Peggy is difficult, but her family can take great pride in the legacy of being such a wonderful person in all aspects of her life and the impact she had on those who were privileged to call her friend.

My first meeting of Peg & Hugh at Jim & Meg's home in Wisconsin for
Thanksgiving was memorable.
We'd gotten an early snowfall but Peg didn't complain.
Her twinkling eyes and delightful presence at grandkids baptisms and birthdays made them special days to treasure.
She will be missed.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your mother's passing, John. I talked to her recently and asked about you and your sister. She, and your dad, were such class acts.

I'm so sorry to hear about Peggy. She was so wonderful and funny! I remember her helping my dad buy a car for me when I was in college - that 72 Nova with the plaid interior!
I also remember Peggy holding my daughter as a baby and rubbing her bald head and joking about the baby's orthodic helmut - Peggy could see the humour in everything!
She will be missed by all.
