    My grandmother was a great mentor in my life. I've been so blessed to have had so many precious moments & memories with her I'd have to write a book to share them all. I thank her for all she has done to help raise me & be there for my three children, her great-grandchildren. We will miss you.

    I have many family memories of Peggie and I growing up together, and being with her during my early adult life. We were more like sisters, instead of cousins. Time took us down separate roads, but she was always in my heart. She will be missed.

    Rest in Peace my friend. You will truly be missed! We spent time together at restaurants at the beach, on the boardwalk (walking/riding and watching bands) and together with your family, especially with Belinda. I will remember you most for inviting me in your home and helping me to pass the real estate exam. Your kindness will never be forgotten. To your family I am praying they all stay strong and remember the good times they shared with you. ~

    Oma was a wonderful person. She was unique in her own way from the conversation that we had and she loved to feed you no matter when stopped by.. she will be truly missed.

    Oma was a special person. She touched many peoples lives. I for one can honestly say it has been a privilege and a blessing to have known her. Her smile and humor was second to none. My heart goes out to Belinda and her sons Robert & Dennis. She will surely be missed by many. She was such a sweet sole and I really enjoyed her company and will truly miss it.

    I have only happy memories of my mother. She was smart, funny and never dull. I was very blessed to have her love and guidance. I'll miss her but she will be with me always.

    So sorry to hear of Peggie's passing. She and I were friends and co-workers at Long & Foster. I also would see her occasionally at Peppertree condos where I own a unit, and at various Realtor functions. She loved her family and we would talk about our kids accomplishments often. I hope you cherish your memories of Peggie.
