For the short time I've known Peggy, we became extremely close. I thought of her as my 2nd mom and loved her like that too. She shared many lifetime stories with me and I was grateful for her taking me in the way she did. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to her children and family...I love you all...rest in peace mom

Peggy was such a sweetheart. My mother told me how close her and Peggy were. They liked some of the same things and and had plenty to talk about.
Everyone loved Peggy. She was a people person.
