Peggy was by brother Mike's best friend. They shared a passion for their work as well as fine dining and trivia nites. I finally had the pleasure of meeting Peggy last Halloween via Zoom for the first time and could see her fun personality and quick wit come through. I am so sorry she had to suffer as long as she did.

I have only just learned of Peggy's passing and I am heartbroken for all.
I was one of her therapists at St. Joe's. I loved working with her. We had special times together, weather it was braiding that hair of hers, or talking about our pets, or looking for her phone, and waiting while she wrote her notes in it, and trying to get some therapy in, between all of her stories! We texted a few times after she was discharged, and traded pictures of her cats and my dog, and had some chats. I picture her with that fabulous blanket with all the pictures on it, and her fuzzy, comfy stuff, and I just smile. I so wish I had known her in days of good health. I can imagine what a force she was, because she remained so, as she fought so hard. I am glad she is not in pain anymore. May her memory be a blessing to you all. I am so sorry. She will be missed, and she will be remembered.
