One of my favorite times spent with Peggy was our road trip back to Michigan. Peggy was pregnant and asked me to fly down and help her drive back. I still can’t believe that I clutched and she shifted all those miles back home together! I’ll love you forever.”

“Aunt Peg, I will always remember the fun times on vacation, camping, sleepovers with drop off/pick ups at White Castle, trips to Cedar Pointe, matching outfits with lib (floral rompers and lions fleece pants) I will always remember you sending me my first set of knitting needles and teaching me to knit when I was in college. I will remember you and your smiles. I love you. ”

“Aunt Peggy, Thank you for all of the wonderful moments you provided for me when I was young. Some of my fondest memories I have revolve around the times I spent with you and your family when I was little. From family vacations, camping, cedar point, trips to the zoo and simply spending time in your home. Thanks for the fun, laughs and love. ”

“I know most of the family knows that I went through a pretty difficult time with my dad when I was 16. The entire family was there to hear me cry and complain. They all kept saying how sorry they were for me. It was mostly pity which was a little bit embarrassing but aunt Peg was the first person to have a different reaction. She told me ‘’Fuck Him, Don’t ever take anyone’s Shit.’’ It really threw me off at first, but it’s something that has really stuck with me through the years. Because of her I stopped letting people walk all over me. I started to hold myself in higher regard and became more independent and confident and because of aunt Peggy. She was strong and bold and fearless. I’ll never forget that about her. Thank you for everything Aunt Peg. I love you to the moon and back. Rest easy and I’ll see you again. Love. ”

“Heaven is having a little more fun now, March 28, 2016

Something I will always cherish, never forget, and was not able to reciprocate was the support Peg gave me during my divorce. She didn’t judge me. She was unconditionally on my side when others couldn’t be. She let me cry, she listened and she coached me. She introduced me to Russell Street Deli, which became our lunch spot, after an appointment in court or with the attorney. I think of her every time I eat there and kept an eye out for her every time I was in Eastern Market since. Peggy loved me and stood by my side when I felt weak, damaged, unlovable and ashamed. Her support was unconditional. She lifted my spirit back up and helped me realize I wasn’t a bad person after all.

When Andy and Elizabeth were young children, Peggy was so light hearted with them. I spent a lot of time at their house either babysitting or just hanging out. Peg was their mother but she was never afraid to be silly. She framed and hung their art work and had pictures of them all over the refrigerator. I was in high school and then in college, observing and learning from my sister, watching her be a mom. I was planning what I wanted to be like someday as a mom. I wanted to find the balance and be able to be silly and to enjoy my kids like Peg seemed to do. Peggy influenced me, incredibly, and helped me to have a wonderful, fun, loving and open relationship with my daughter, Meg.

As many of you know, Peggy was an amazing, compassionate nurse. Our sister Sue & I followed her into healthcare. All three of us have been part of Children’s Hospital & proud to mention that ‘’our sister works here, too’’. Over time, I asked Peg why she was still working and, every time, without hesitation, she told me she loved what she did. She loved caring for kids.

Finally, when I think of Peggy, I think of how fun-loving she was. She had a lot of our Dad in her. I think back to one family vacation when the three sisters road out East with our parents; Peg, Sue & I were in the back seat incessantly singing ‘’How Great Thou Art’’ at the top of our lungs. You can imagine how the wording was altered, thanks to Peg, and the three of us couldn’t stop laughing that whole trip. I remember dancing at peg’s surprise 40th birthday party to Cheryl Crow’s ‘’All I Wanna Do’’ - I was pregnant and getting huge, but we danced and had dun and I enjoyed seeing all the friends Peg and Mike shared. I think back to shopping at Somerset with Peg, Mom & Sue for my wedding dress. How girly, how fun, how silly that day was. How their presence and involvement made me feel so very special and how Peggy was always the one to make us laugh and enjoy the occasion much more. Then I think about when we were in Cancun for my wedding. Meg & I were in the salon getting our hair and nails done. Peggy woke up early and popped into the salon, unexpectedly: to hang out, to take pictures for me and to really just be my big sister. Peg always knew how to let go and help others be ok ‘’letting go’’ with her. I remember one summer, a few years ago, when peg grabbed me to be her partner at the cottage on Race Day - I had no intention of participating, but, all of a sudden, we were entered in the 3 legged race together. We lost. Next we did the wheelbarrow race together and fell down multiple times but my cheeks and face were what was hurting because the whole time we were smiling and laughing so much.

This is how I remember you, Peggy: unconditionally supportive, a fun-loving mom, a compassionate care-giver and an adventurous sister who enjoyed life and made sure those around her were doing the same. You were an amazing big sister. I know you have found peace and comfort. I love you, and I will miss you dearly. ”

“The Smarter Richer Investment Club was a fun group of Ladies who learned a lot about stocks. On of Peggy’s favorite stocks that she followed and reported on was Google. She was on one of her fabulous trips only to come home and find we sold her stock. We were afraid she might not forgive us...She did!”

“Peggy was always the most gracious hostess and made us feel so welcome on this side of town.”
