  1. My deepest sympathy to Donald,
    Peg’s sisters,and all of her family.I went to grade school with Peg at St.Pat’s in Joliet.We have had several reunions, and Peggy came 10 years ago when we celebrated or 50thyear from St.Pat’s. It was so good to see her; it had been a long time.
    This past Oct. we celebrated 60 years and Peg was unable to come but sent a lovely note and photo of Donald and herself with the Morello’s and the Hines’ We all remarked how great she looked and how she must have been enjoying life.On behalf of our class I would like to thank Debbie for calling me;I will notify our classmates of her passing. Please know that we will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time; and may each day take you further from your grief
    Peace be to all of you,

    First I want to send my love and condolences to all the family and friends. This was a huge shock for all of us.

    Peggy was always an example for me of how to live life.
    She was full of energy and always on the go. She traveled whenever she could and made friends everywhere she went.
    She always expressed herself. She had infectious laugh, with a little bit of mischief mixed in. She let you know how much she loved you or how much she disagreed with you. But either way, you always felt the respect.
    She loved her family. She always said how great her kids and grand kids are. You could see the pride in her face.
    Peggy enjoyed life alright. I know that I am a better person because I was lucky enough that she was a part of my life.
    I love you Peg. May the angels keep you close.

    Peggy, will be missed by family and friends. She was a delight to be around and lite up the room. I will always remember how she made me feel like part of the family when I came down to Calif.. I’m truly sadden by this sudden lost but will remember Peggy always in my heart. She gave everyone around her such joy and that I will never forget. Peggy, you will be truly missed. With great love and respect.

  4. This one trip Peg did not tell me that she was taking and what a journey she must be having. I will miss her as much as the letters and e-mail she would send. How happy she was being married to Don for the last two years. I still have the letters telling me so. All those trips taken with Don,Debbie and family. Now I know why she was so busy she had to get it all in. I must not forget all those dinners she would tell me about. She loved her family and the extended one too. Peg ended her letters with well girlfriend until the next time.
    and we want to thank her sisters Pat, Kay and Mary Ann for sharing her with us. A childhood friend for 62 years. Ray and Dorothy Brown Morello

  5. We remember and celebrate the life of Peggy as she is reunited with family and friends that have gone before her. We will always miss you. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
