My thoughts and prayers are with the family
Peggy touched everyone she came in contact with. I had the privilege to know her for past 5 years and she was a wonderful person. While working with her every Friday during the summer at 9am would sing On the way to cape may. She made you laugh , after each season of dancing with the stars she would say I am never going to watch it again then new season would start and she start complaining about the judges and she would say I just want to see what the judges going to do again. Every month she would tell Kim and I about her club night with her girl friends she would say I do not feel like going tonight and the next day we would ask did you have a good time and she would talk about great time she had we would just laugh because we knew next month would be the same. She loved her girls from the club.
Peggy was so proud of her family and loved them very much she would brag about them every chance she got. Walt was her life and to see them together showed what true love was. I was talking to her couple weeks ago and she mentioned Walt asked her to do something and she said “I am a city girl” I could hear Walt in background making fun of her saying how long have you been out of the city.
I will miss her , I love you Peggy. You are a true angel know looking down from heaven
