  2. Peggy was a wonderful soul who was loved dearly by her family and the clients and staff at 928. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Peggy and her entire family.

    Her loving brother Bill was always there to provide Peggy unconditional care and support and he can now rest knowing that she is in heaven. He also worked tirelessly on behalf of everyone associated with the 928 residence and his efforts were deeply appreciated by the other clients and their families.

    God bless Peggy and grant her peace.

  3. We met Peggy when she was about 15 years old…bright easy smile and quite talkative as I remember. She loved her Michael who became my son-in-law. She was delighted to celebrate with Kathleen and Michael at their wedding!!! And, how she adored Meagan! The last I saw Peggy, her hair was coiffed and she was dressed so nicely. She had a wonderful and attentive family who took such good care of her. I hope they all find peace as she’s now at peace.

  4. Dear Peggy, I will miss you. Not being able to volunteer at HHC this past year and see you and all of your dear friends has been difficult enough. Knowing you will not be there when I am able to return to HH in person will be even more difficult. I will miss your genuine smile and lovely ways. We are all better for having you touch our lives. You live on in the family and friends who love you.

I will miss everything about you… From applying your hair bow’s to watching you fold your clothes that was her favorite thing to do clean & fold.
