    I met this beautiful angel in kindergarten. That was 70 years ago.
    She was and always will be my dearest friend. My life was so enriched
    because she was in it. I miss her more than words can say, but I know
    I will see her again. Until then, I will carry her memory in my heart.

    I met this lovely lady at the Salon I was at and she was so wonderful and friendly … she was always smiling that beautiful smile of hers too. You could not meet her anywhere and walk away without feeling better than you did before you saw and talked with her. My deepest condolences to her family for their loss. She was truly a gem of a human being.

    I met Peggy when I moved into my home when my daughter was born. It was about 3 years later when I was introduced to Arron and then I met Peggy his momma. This beautiful lady was a delightful friend. My daughter and her son became fast friends. They spent many hours playing with Peggy. I will never forget those memories. Loved you Peg. I will miss you until we meet again in heaven.😘

    My deepest sympathy to the family. I have fond memories of Peggy and her family growing up together, playing and school. I always looked up to Peggy and her mother as a child.

    Our deepest sympathy to the Pucci family. She was a neighbor of mine and when she moved, I was very sad. I enjoyed talking to her and missed seeing her all of the time. Peggy was funny and always smiling. Miss her all the time.

    Our deepest sympathy to the Pucci Family. We had the pleasure of living next to Peggy for about 2 years and would run into her many times over the years, as recent as this past February. My 3 year old daughter and her became fast friends as Peggy kept her fed with popsicles! Peggy was always a ray of sunshine! I know she will be missed by so many.
