Peggy was such a wonderful kind person. I will never forget her when I went to make my husbands funeral arrangements and how hard it was for me. She comforted me with her kind words which were so genuine. She was an angel on earth and now one in heaven.

My dear friend Peggy, you were such an inspirational person for me to look up to as a colleague and friend. Over the years at Brady-Gill Funeral Home in Evergreen Park while I was directing with Donny at Petkus (Marquette Park, Chicago) Funeral Home you showed me women could be respected and cherished in this industry. You will forever be known as a honorable professional who has brought dignity to female funeral directors and embalmers.
My heart is broken learning about your death. I know you are at peace in the arms of our Lord in the Kingdom of Heaven. May you rest now,
Respectfully yours, Eryn Gray, Deputy Coroner, Will County.
