Bonny, Dave, Mark and immediate family, Aunt Peggy's loss has been a tremendous shock and loss. She was a beautiful, kind and loving person. We are so glad we were able to ring in the 2006 New Year with her in Arizona. What a wonderful time that will be forever etched into our memory. We love you all dearly as we loved her. We send you a warm hug and hope to see you all soon. Our love and sympathy, Mike, Noemi & Gennaro

We are so sorry for the loss of your mother & sister. We have many fond memories of Friday night pizza & card games when she still lived in New Jersey. No one laughed more than us (Ann, Fannie, Jo-Ann & JoAnn), trying to play a card game explaining the rules to my mother (Ann) time after time like she had never seen the game before.

Peggy was a wonderful person with a beautiful smile and a great sense of humor.

We will certainly miss our "adopted cousin", Peggy.

The Wayne Hills Mall walkers were also saddened to hear about the loss of Peggy.

You will always remain in our hearts.

Love,
Ann, Fanny, JoAnn

It seems unreal that Aunt Peggy is no longer here and it saddens me to know that I won't get to see that famous smile or hear that wonderful laugh anymore. The many memories of her will keep her spirit alive in all of us until that time comes when we will all meet again.

David & Mark:

I consider myself lucky to have known your mom. We were for a while
two great families into one...
I just seen her picture(Our Gang), that smile of hers it has been and will always be one of a kind.

Bonny,David,Mark & Jo-Ann,
What a tremendous loss. It breaks our hearts to know she is gone from this physical world. Yet we know where she has passed to and with our faith we will once again be together. Peggy has taught us all a lesson with her unexpected passing and that is to make each day count. Let the people you love hear it from you and go out of your way to show it as Peggy so often did. I feel sad for those who won't ever get to know her and I hope that all the memories we share with all the laughter and tears will keep her alive in all of us. Our hearts go out to all of you and we are with you today in spirit.

Dave, Mark and Bonnie, I was shocked to read about your mother. My heart goes out to you all. I ran into Peggy not long ago at the mall. I always liked your mother and we had some good laughs. She was a special lady and she loved her children and grandchildren.

Dear Dave, Mark and Bonny,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. From the very
first time we met Peggy she greeted us as if we had been friends
forever. She truly was a kind and loving person. We are very honored to have known Peggy.

Dear Jo-Ann and family, I am so sorry to hear of Peggy's sudden passing. We called her one of the 'Ladies of the Light' and indeed she was a beautiful light in this world, and now she will be in the spirit world. I know she will be one of God's Healing Angels and helping where ever healing is needed.

She certainly will be missed in so many places and so many hearts. We will keep a front seat empty in the Temple and know she'll be still sitting there with us Sunday's, in spirit.

Much love and blessings of peace and healing to you Jo-Ann and the family.

Rev. Kristine Fossatti, and all of her friends and family in the Temple of Universality and the Chapel Of The Americas

Bonny, Mark and David,

Peggy could brighten a room with her smile and her laughter was contagious! I loved going to her house for dinner....you always left with a FULL belly and a renewed spirit.

Your mom was an amazing woman and she loved each of you dearly. She will truly be missed, but her memory will live on in all the lives she touched.

Just one of the many of God's blessings is the people he places into our lives. I am one who is blessed to have known Peg and her wonderful family. She has a special place in heaven reserved for those who shared of themselves on earth.

My condolences to the family especially my dearest friend Jo-Ann.

Dear Bonny, Jim,
Jimmy, Garrett & Emma ~

The most accomplished wordsmiths often have trouble descibing a person. You have done your Mom proud by showing what an amazing woman she was.

I know you will miss her greatly.

I know her spiritual work is shared by you and your Aunt and that is a wonderful gift.

Your children's beautiful faces reflect your love for them as well as the love your Mom had for them.

The beauty of being human is that as long as YOUR heart beats there is a part of your Mom pulsing through you and reminding you to live your life to it's fullest.

Thinking of you so much during this sad time.

Love,
Maggie
