I went to St. George´s elementary school with Peggy. She was a lovely human being. Her mom worked at a local drugstore, and the family attended St. George´s church EVERY Sunday. I am shocked and saddened by her premature passing.

Dear David, Jennifer and Tyler,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad and difficult time. I spent many years with Peggy at the YMCA-YWCA, Women's Health Club, on Argyle Ave. We spent many hours talking and laughing (as well as exercising) and solving all the problems of the world. The YMCA is that kind of place, especially the Women's Health Club. Peggy always talked about all of you and how much she loved you. We will always remember those times, as well as all the parties that Peggy and Paddy attended with all the Riopelle's, often hosted by Claire and Howard Riopelle.
Gerry and I wish to extend our deepest condolences on the loss of your Mom, but remember, she will always,always, be there in spirit. She never wanted to miss anything.
Love,
Rosi and Gerry Riopelle

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Peggy was a wonderful woman and we have such fond memories of the time spent with her.
She was the type of woman that would always turn heads and put smiles on peoples faces when she walked into a room.

Family & friends,
The news of Peggy's death has taken me by surprise and saddened my heart.
I had the priviledge of growing up with Peggy at Willola Beach and calling her a friend. We spent countless summers having fun and hanging out with the other kids. She was a true free spirit and lived life to the fullest.
I send my deepest sympathies and you all will be in my thoughts & prayers.

It is my heartfelt hope that you will all find some solice in the prayers of the many, many of us who knew and loved Peggy.

Peggy will be missed, but know that she gave a lot of people encouragement and strength. My thoughts and prayers are with you,

To all of Peggy's family and loved ones,
Rosanna and I and our family would like to offer our deepest simpathies.
I had the great pleasure of knowing and working with Peggy for the past fourteen years. She was one of the most grounded, spiritual, and genuinely selfless people I have ever met. Despite the fact that her favourite line was "I don't do...", it was quite remarkable how much she really did do and accomplish. On our travels together we had the most amazing times, but this is a journey she has had to take alone. We will all miss her, and will always love her. I hope that you all can still feel the strength and support she gave to others, and that we offer ours to you.

Deeply saddened to hear about your loss. Not even a year ago, I saw your mom at Goodlife. I had not seen her for years and it was so nice to speak to her. It brought back a lot of memories, precious moments... I still remember when your mom would drop you and Tyler off at Erma's and how your mom was so proud when talking about her family.

I am stunned and deeply moved at this sad, sad news of Peggy. I had no idea. I thought of Peggy this morning when I woke up and just spoke of her tonight.
Peggy and I shared many memories dating back to grade 2; she was my first friend at school.
Peggy gave me a little black purse on my 8th birthday. I still have it.
I helped Peggy style her hair and get ready for her first date with Paddy, giggling and laughing like two typical young girls. Seems like a heartbeat ago.
Imagine, these are the memories that immediately come to mind. It happened far too soon.
Peggy's stength and determination, will be her legacy to her children and those who shared this life with her. Her strength will help you through this.
My sincerest and most heartfelt thoughts are with everyone.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Peggy was my mentor and she always had a positive outlook on everything in life. In an industry like the one we shared, we meet many people but there will never be an individual with the compassion or understanding that Peggy had. My thoughts and Prayers go out to Jennifer, Tyler and all of the Family.

Go with God, Peggy, and be at peace.
