Absolute one of a kind. If my own mother Joan wasn't perfect I'd have chosen Peggy to raise me. Never a dull moment, always outspoken, yet loved everyone around her with all her heart. We'll miss the old girl but have decades of memories that won't fade. Dave - Posted by: Dave and Lori Tardi (Aunt) on: Dec 14, 2016

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Aunty Peggie. She always had an incredible ability to "spice up" any room she ever entered! The bond she had with my Mother went far beyond sisters and she will be missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. - Posted by: Cyndi, Chris and The Girls () on: Dec 10, 2016
