To the McKeone Family,
I have such wonderful memories of your Mom. She was my mom across the street and Sharon and Kathy were two of my best childhood friends. Your mom took such great care of all of us Sadeks. I know it brought great joy to my mom and dad that they have been in touch with your mom these many years. I know she will truly be missed by so many. Love and prayers for the whole family.

To the McKeone family, I have very fond memories of you as a childhood neighbor in Oak Lawn. Even though I was young, I knew Peg was a good person and could be trusted. And daughter Sharon was my favorite babysitter, so I know Peg has left a great legacy.

What a wonderful lady she was. It's hard to find good friends but Byrd and Bill Power sure did in the McKeone's. Great memories from the West Coast, too. As Byrd would say,"she should be canonized for sainthood". Special hello from Byrd and Bill yesterday and shared a story or two with me about both Don & Peg. She will be remembered by the Power family for sure.

Always gracious, always happy and always kind to me [especially as a goofy little boy on Dorchester]. All the best to "Mrs. Mckeone" and family. Jack Power to Maggie "the SOX did it!"

Dear Peg, We can never adequately express what you and your family meant to us over the last 41 years. You were an inspiration to me as a somewhat "younger" mother during our years on Kildare. We will never forget you!
Love, Peg & George, Peggy, Tony, Mike, Joe, Sweet Pete, and Mary Kate Sadek
