In her life, Peggy touched more hearts than one can ever imagine. At St. Rita she was a mother figure to many, my son being one of them. Though our friendship came to be within the last couple of years, to me she was a much loved and cherished friend. We prayed with and for one another and found comfort in doing so. I am forever grateful and my life was enriched in knowing Peggy. She will be sorely missed.



Pat & family, I continue to pray for Peggy's soul, and for you as well. May God bless all of you with comfort, and may He help you find peace of mind and heart today and always.

From the Orth family,

All our prayers are with you at this time. I (Coach Orth) regret that I was unable to attend the wake due to a prior family obligation. Patrick, P.J., Matthew, Andrew, and Meghan I deeply regret your loss. If I can help in anyway, please let me know. My extension at work is 152 and I see Meghan everyday. When I lost my father and I was feeling down, it always helped me to remember the good times and forget the sorrow and pain. The good times will remind you of how special your lives have been because of Peggy (MOM). She will always be with you in your heart. I know my father is always with me.
