Recollections & Sympathy For the Family

So very sad to hear of Peggy's passing. She will be remembered fondly. RIP Peggy

I'm so sad to read this. The Grennon family lived next to the Deebs as we were a young family and they were the cool teenager back in the 60's. Peg babysat for us, Gordy threw base baseballs to my younger brothers in catch and Dia was also a babysitter. They were the most wonderful family who helped my parents raising 4 young kids next door. I am the only one left in the area and always enjoyed giving a shout out to Peg every early opening at Pedrins and through-out the summer. It is ironic our parents share a plot beside each other by chance so I visit Amy, Gordon and Dia when I visit my parents with great memories. Peg was very special. I remember she lost her engagement ring down the kitcen sink and it was quite an affair but retrieved! I want to say to her husband and family what a beautiful soul she was and will continue to be in your sacred memories. Bless Peg

So saddened to hear of Peggys passing we were such good friends ever since our days in Williamstown in school. I just saw her maybe a month ago at the big Y. we discussed the old days and how it is tough to get old, but we keep trudging along! Sands springs, swimming the old country pedlar, and of course Pedrins! Miss you Peg, Prayers and condolences to all who knew her. God Bless Peggy. Sympathy to all who knew her.

Gordy and Melissa. I don't know how to relate our more than 50 year relationship. We had such good times with her dragging me from one place to another. We also had times of great sadness but together we would talk, cry try to understand but would always get thru those times. i will never forget how she mothered me the last 4 years with my health problems. She will always be in my heart and never forgotten. My heart feels empty with sadness. I will miss her and never forget her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. She loved her family literally with all her heart.
