I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing and didn't get the info from Aaron in time to go to the memorial. Prayers for all of you as you continue the grieving process and God bless. She will be missed by all who knew her and her vibrant smile and generosity.

Peggy was my bridge partner on Wednesdays at the Fairfax. She was always the most gracious and warm person and our association was relatively short but so memorable. I miss her smile, her compassion and competitiveness.

I was very privileged to have played at her special table for about 5 years. She was an excellent competitor and most polished in manners. I admire how well she managed her disability at all times. She will be missed but remembered by all of us. Marilyn Batra

We played bridge with Peggy on Monday nights at the Fairfax. She was a great bridge player, but more important than that, a lovely person. She was always kind to everyone. We will miss her very much.

I played Bridge with Peggy on Monday nights at the Fairfax for the past 2 1/2 years. She was always cheerful, an excellent player, a fierce competitor, and showed great sportsmanship. She was truly a fine and elegant lady and everyone will sorely miss her in the Monday night game. I, for one, am a better Bridge player and better person for having known her.
