Peggi, I have so sorry for your loss. I remember such good times with your parents - picnicking at the Atomic Plant lake, our trip to New York City, etc.
Your cousin, Marianne

Dear Peggy
I was saddened by the news of your Mom's passing. She was a beautiful Lady inside and out. I dealt with her many time at Quadlands (also very missed) and always enjoyed her sense of humor and her quick wit. I have missed her since she went to live with you, but I think she was extremely happy to be with you. God bless her and welcome her home.

I had never met Ann in person but I have the pleasure of enjoying her gardening talent by living in her home and traveling into North Adams on route two every day. I will do my best to keep her spirit alive in the flowers and trees. May she rest in peace in Heaven's Garden.
