I just found out this week about Peggy's passing. I have fond memories of working with Peggy. Her sense of humour always brought joy to her co-workers. Peggy was vey proud of her family, I've watched them grow through her updated pictures at her work station. I will remember her kind and caring soul. Always making sure to ask how I was doing and sharing news about our families. My sincere condolences.

Peggy as I remember her.

What a flood of memories hit me today when I read of Peggy's passing. We were very close through Jr High and High School, remaining good friends right through until the 80s when time and chance and different paths separated us except for the occasional phone call. Much love to her remaining family.
