I am so sorry to hear of our loss of Peggy. The world will be a little dimmer now. I so enjoyed seeing and working with Peggy at the Veteran´s Home. Her smile and little giggles discussing fun and pleasant things I will miss a lot. Peggy was always concerned about those she medically cared for as a nurse, and the special ones that needed her. She gave them her time without question. Peggy always seemed to see the good in everyone and didn´t let negativity be her focus. She always seemed to point out the positives of those around her in soft ways, and was always grateful to be your friend. You will be missed, and I am grateful to have known you, to have sought you out for help and guidance when it mattered, and to have shared so many heartfelt conversations.

Deepest sympathies to her family. Peggy was one of the kindness most compassionate people I knew. I loved working with her almost immediately. I would get excited the minute I saw her name written on a shift I was working. She was an absolute angel. She will be greatly missed.
