For Peg's Family AND her Prudential Family, as we are all mourning her passing. Gosh, Peg, you took a chance on me...a young, divorcee who really wanted a job WITH benefits! I thought I only meant Health and Vaca and Sick Day benefits...What I could never have known, when you hired me, is that I would reap so many more LIFE benefits from working with you. You built a support staff that stayed friends forever. You were easy to come to for advice (even as a Supervisor--- your door was open). You were a mother hen from birth, I suspect, so that is why every single one of us could come to your with personal insecurities. Your wisdom, honesty and HUMOR always shored up our own self-esteems. You have been a giver, all your life. Even your Laugh, your Smile was a gift. It didn't matter where you were or who you were with; Peg, you made everyone feel better & more hopeful. Honestly, I think you and Sue Hoey Webb (and Dawna Sipowicz, still living, thank God) are Angels. I thank you for your prayers during my cancer treatment. And the loving lap quilt that I took EVERY day to treatment and still use EVERY day, now (9 years later). Hey, the dogs love it on my lap :-) You always had a subtly exciting flair...your joi de vivre! and you did not disappoint at the end of your incredible life. I know for a fact you are in Heaven. My heartfelt prayers for a smooth journey through grief go out to all your "kids" and Patrick. Your loss is devastating. R.I.P., Peg.

To the Family of Peg Jeram, especially my sweet sister in law , Barb Bussing, who I am sure has lost the love of her life, her Mom. There is no one in our life as important or as close in this adventure that starts between a mother and child as a life as close as 2 can be in this world. We are part of each other bound by GOD to be that way. My mother Kay Bussing thought the world of Peg and we all loved her happy sweet ways and her smiling sweet face. May GOD Bless her soul and someday willing we will all be together again. Peace and Love.

Such a sad loss, .y Ain't Peg. The matriarch, she was always quick to laugh and have a warm smile and comment. She has, too soon, left us but her impression will forever remain. ILY Aunt Peg.

To Peg's family -
I got to know her at the Embury Apts and found her to be a delightful lady. Many here will be sorry to hear of her passing, but "what a life".

This is my mom and her best friend Peggy. She is my godmother. She passed today. She never
missed my birthday, she would repair my stage clothes back in the day (even if I had to send them to her). She was always so happy to see me and hear about what I had been up to. Which is more then I can say for some of my own blood.

She was a huge part of my upbringing and my family. This breaks my heart. I´m honestly don´t remember a time for my mom without her in our lives.

Godspeed "Aunt" Peggy.
