How sorry I am that I was unable to pay my respects. Peggy was a piece of sunshine in my life. In my few years with her, I always felt like a better person around her. What a gift- to be strong-minded but so gentle-mannered. She instilled peace in a very chaotic work world. A sincere lady of kindness & faith. I will remember our times together - although brief compared to the millions who crossed your path- of cleaning the chapel, working concessions, & just mother's club stuff. Wishing you the comfort that you brought to so many. My heart is heavy. I will miss you dearly. Fondly, Michelle McHugh



Our prayers are with you in these difficult days.

To Peggy's dear ones;

May Peggy rest in the peace of Him whom she loved and served so well.

We attended St.FdP together (1942-50). One of my fondest memories is recalling Peggy on a day her parents came for her at school. Mr. McBride had just begun a military furlough (think it was in '44 or '45). Peggy and her brothers hadn't been told of his homecoming. It was a joyous day for the McBrides and for us who were privy to see a very happy classmate greet her loving, military attired father.

Be assured of a remembrance in prayer as you grieve Peggy's earthly loss. With deep sympathy.

Our deepest sympathy on your loss of a truly special person. While we knew Peggy only through eighth grade at SFDP, we enjoyed seeing her at our class reunions and shared her love of family.



Our prayers are with all of you in this time of loss. We can only hope that the memories of the many good times together will keep her with you in a special way now that she has earned her eternal reward.

Dear Tom and family: Peggy was someone whom I admired very much and I hope I can be half the person she was. I never met anyone who was always cheerful, never complained about life, always willing to lend someone a hand and always made you feel good when you were around her. She was a remarkable woman, and I am very thankful for her friendship. I know her family always came first and the Mt. Carmel family followed close behind---she couldn't have left a better legacy. My sincerest sympathy to you.

Love,

Marianne, Tim, Mike, Tony,

Patrick, Kristin and Joshua
