Dear Lollie, Tommy and family,



Aunt Peg was exceptional in almost every way. I have admired her kindness, humor, class and style since I was a little girl. I always looked forward to our annual Mother's Day visit after Butch's, Christmas, and all the times when we could just sit and gab. I loved her stories. I loved her laugh. She made everyone around her feel special and truly loved. She will be greatly missed.



My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.



Love always, Meghan

Dear Lollie, My heart goes out to you. My mom died this past March, so I empathize closely with your loss. And yes, the tears and the pain do lessen, though now you may find that hard to believe. I met your lovely mom in 1983 at where else, the funeral home, for the wake and funeral of a sweet Bridgepart woman named Florence Sheridan.Maybe all of those people are warmly greeting your mom, and mine, too. Sincerely, Mary Mullarkey from McAuley. P.S. My daughter just graduated from there.She loved it.

Dear Lollie and Tommy,

What can one say when you lose someone so dear. It still hurts no matter how long they have been with you and I'm sorry just doesn't seem to express how we truly feel. My deepest sympathy and love to both of you. She was a terrific lady and we will all miss her. I will always remember her kindness to me and my family when my father passed away so many years ago. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

With Love,

Ann Marie
