    Peggy has always been there. She was a part of our family and we dearly loved her. We miss her beautiful face, and gentle manner. We cherish the beautiful Christmas table cloth she made for us. We are heartbroken. She was one of a kind and irreplaceable. The world is a little darker without Peggy’s smile to brighten it. Our hearts, prayers and thoughts are with you all, as you go on without her on this earth–Malloy, Jeff, Joe, all the kids and also Floyd.

    Dear Auntie Peg,

    You are going to be missed with your sparkly ways. You were always a joy to be around and added so much life to our family gatherings. You had a big heart and was never at a loss for words. You always had an opinion – which you gave freely – although you didn’t really need to speak, as the words were clearly written all over your face! I will miss you greatly and remember you dearly. Love, your niece Sydna.
