Dearest Peggy,

I will always remember you as a cheerful, beautiful person inside and out. You kept telling me that you would join my beloved husband soon, and I was hoping with all my heart that you were wrong. Oh what a void you are leaving for your entire family.

To you, dear Joe, my special thoughts and prayers. I know how you will miss the love of your life. She left us a little less than 6 months after Gerry did. I sincerely hope that you will come whenever you feel like, to chat, share our supper, or for any reason at all. Alain and I both have you and everyone in the family in our hearts.

To the Virgilio Family,



I first met Peggy 15 years ago and we became instant friends. What a beautiful, smart, intuitive, caring, enthusiastic, fun-loving and nurturing friend - she was loved by many and such a "sweet" heart! She balanced her work and home responsibilities well - always keeping her priorities in good order - she had a talent for understanding people and she would give of herself always to help others. Nothing stood in her way of living and enjoying life, until

her illness took over. And even then, she fought hard to overcome

the serious life-threatening obstacles so she could "live". She valued life more than anyone! I learned so much from her, enjoyed all the years of our friendship, and I have a collection of nice memories to take with me thru life. I wish for each of you that you take the "gifts" of all that you shared with Peggy and remember always how much she loved you and know that your love for her helped her get thru the tough times. She was a very special woman and we all will miss her dearly.
