She was my 2nd grade teacher and a longtime family friend. Fabulous mentor and amazing lady.

It will be difficult to say this final goodbye to Auntie Peggy, my godmother. She always greeted me with a smile, kiss on the check, and a holding of hands. She spoke my name "Francie" like no other person. I can hear her in my memory, such a distinctive voice. She and Uncle George were an integral part of my upbringing sharing their love and lives with my parents and all of my siblings. I will miss you Auntie.

One of the finest, faith-filled ladies that was so generous, sharing her wisdom, understanding and love. Peg was always a beacon of faith,patience and joy. God bless you Peg, may you be enjoying all His blessings which you most certainly deserve. Ladies with such grace, poise and presence such as you are truly a gift to us all. With heart felt thanks, Thank You Peg.

It was my happy experience to share so many wonderful times with Peg in our association with The Newman School and her late husband George with whom I taught for many years. She was a sweet, considerate, and funny person who lightened our lives. Her faith-filled spirit will be missed. My condolences go to to all who are part of her wonderful family and to those others who will miss her. Heaven bound, Peg...

Prayers to the Demers Family, she was my first and third grade teacher at Holy Family and have to say she was my favorite. Rest in the sweetest peace.

Dearest Peg: I know my Mom was waiting for you at those pearly gates and is thrilled to be back togehter with her Dear Friend - as, I am sure, are so many other people. Your work her is done and you are finally getting the Rest that you so truly deserve. You have always brought a smile to my heart! Thanks for being such a Special Person to All Of Us.....You will truly be missed! XOXO Pam

Condolences to the family. My grade school teacher at Holy Family. Missed all these many years.

I was asked tonight at Peg's wake how I knew Peg? Was I one of her students? The answer was no...sort of! As a fallen away Catholic I returned to Holy Family Church 15 years ago. My schedule at the time permitted me to attend weekday masses and at the urging of Fr. Jim Hickey I decided I would. He doubled down and suggested I go a half hour 45 mins early and have some quiet time to pray. I entered the upper church and hesitantly sat halfway up the center right isle. A couple of seconds later a woman a few pews up on the left looked over her right shoulder, smiled and said "hi, my name is Peg"! I said "hi, my name is Bob". With that warm smile I knew instinctively it would be inappropriate to just wave. I crossed the isle and shook her hand. She then said "we pray the rosary before mass, would you like to join us"? Again, instinctively I knew you couldn't say no to such a sweet lady so I said yes, but I don't remember how to pray the rosary. She said you'll just follow along with us and you will pick it up fast! Within minutes the regulars of the group were entering and one by one I was being introduced by Peg as "this is my friend Bob, he's going to pray the rosary with us today"! The first person was Clare Maher who said welcome and I said along with my previous disqualification; "well I don't have rosary beads". Clare immediately pulled out a set she said came from Medjugorje and were blessed by the Blessed Mother! My work schedule changed and I couldn't attend daily mass and the rosary group anymore. But, every chance I had I would return. The very long answer here to Christopher's question tonight is no, I was not one of Peg's students. But, what she taught me about faith, compassion, dignity and grace cannot be learned without seeing it lived out. Peg did that throughout her long life and I along with countless others are all richer in this life to have been touched by her.
Rest in peace Peg, "your friend", Bob Byrne
