Peggy's smile and laughter helped make the District 1 Office a wonderful place to work. She was such a friendly, genuine person, loved by all who worked with her.

I will really miss her.

Good bye peg. It is nice to know you will be home for Christmas. I feel certain God wrapped you in is arms and said "Welcome Home". To the family Peg left behind, I don't have to tell you how wonderful she was and how much she will be missed.

I'll always remember Peggy's amazing laugh and here wonderful voice. my sister-in-law is Julie Casey(she's married to Jim, Peggy's youngest son). When we went

to Jim and Julie's (mainly for Jimmy's birthday parties-Peggy's

grandson) we would visit at the

parties. I'd enjoy talking with

her about Irish music, since we

both had a true love for it. we'll

all miss her, what a truly lovely

lady!

Peggy was so wonderful!!When she was present the whole room was happier and much more interesting. It was great having her for my friend and it was so very easy to love her as she involved us in her struggles and joys. My condolences to her 3 Sons (who made her very happy), her other relatives and to her many legend of friends.
