Hi Peg, I think I signed this when I first saw your mom's obituary in Newsday. Perhaps I did it private, I am not sure. I have such wonderful memories of your mom. She was a special person, and always made me feel so welcome. I know you all will miss her. I am sorry.

I am so saddened to hear of Peggy's passing. As a former coworker at District Office I spent a great deal of time with Peggy and was an admirer, and I hope, a friend. Peggy was a lovely person of great character and will be sorely missed. To her family: I hope it brings peace to know how many people are mourning her loss along with you.
