I always looked forward to my visits with Peg. She was such a delightful, cheerful and happy lady. It was a joy to help her and get to spend my Monday's with her and to get to know her and her family as well.

Peg brought so much joy to everyone around her!

Her wonderful humor and smile made her a delight!

She has been a dear and loving friend since the day we met, fifty-seven years ago, even though we are thousands of miles away, now.

You cannot think of Peg without a warm smile on your face and in your heart!

Linda and Sue, we will always cherish our times together and send you are loving thoughts and prayers.

Peg was one of the first nurse I met at NWC hospital when I first moved to AH. We jelled quickly and she took me and my three boys to the Cubs game. She was a beautiful person and I lost contact with her when we were transfered to Florida.On the day of my youngest son was buried, she reached out to me as she saw his obituary. I tried to keep in touch via the internet but she did not respond.. I am so sorry for your loss of this beautiful woman and may she rest in peace. Blessings, Helen Haslam
