Peg was not only my boss for 15 years, she was my mentor and friend. She had such a profound impact on my life. I will miss our long conversations. David and Rick, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please, know I'm thinking of you and your whole family.

Peg will be missed by Tony & Patricia Hamn (Owners) & entire staff of Five Star Cleaning Service. Peg was a loyal customer for 16 years. She was so dedicated to her company. She and I would often talk well after 6:00 p.m. while we were both still at our offices. We used to always joke about owners having to work well past the 5:00 p.m. normal working hours.
Our employees would often see her still working in to the late evening hours. She was always very gracious to each and every one of our staff.
Peg will be missed but never forgotten.
She was a classy lady that one that loved her family.

Dear Peg,
You were a real treasure of a friend. I will always remenber your warmth and kindness.
You are definitely in a better place with your Prince in shining armour! He has been waiting for you. Give Dick a kiss from us and hope we will join you someday. Your family was blessed to have you as their mother and grandmother.
Love,
Geri

Peg was in my life for over 14 years and I love her dearly. I wish she had been in my life longer. She had a great impact on me and everyone who knew and loved her. She will be missed greatly. May God bring peace and comfort to all members of her family because a great void has been created with her passing. May their memories of her bring joy back into their lives. She has now been reunited with her husband, Dick, in eternal paradise.

To The McGinn Family,
I've had the privilege of knowing Peg for over 20 years. During that time she became a very good friend. Each time I spoke with her whether on the phone or in person she would brighten my day & I would try to do the same for her. I will miss those talks & her very much. My wife Amy & I would like to extend our deepest sympathy & prayers to her family & friends.
