Peg was one of our mom’s lifelong Besties! The special bond and friendship that Sharon L, Peg, and Judy had was truly a gift and one I know will be so very missed by all of us who had the pleasure of witnessing it over the years!! Peg was a true friend to mom, a giver, one who persevered, and who understood well the importance of a life filled with laughter! May she rest in her new heavenly home and may her family find peace and comfort in her loving memory.

Knowing Peggy was a special privilege because of the wonderful friendship she and Moss gave to me, our kids, and in particular, my dear departed wife, Judy. I know the two of them are rejoicing together now as they share the peace and tranquility of our heavenly home. I am certain that Peggy and Judy are celebrating the blessing of family and friends they shared as the best of friends. Thank you, Peggy, for your care, concern, love, and mischievous fun you shared with all of us. All who knew you will sorely miss your infectious smile and generous heart. Your love for Moss, and your amazing kids, Jeff and Tracy, is truly a shining example of what your life was all about. Rest in peace, dear lady!
