Boys I loved your mother very much! We were such great friends and really had some good times together - your Mom and I. I remember the night that Nicky was looking for his Mom. I had taken her to the Par-a-dice Casino. Time got away from us as we were having such a great time. It was around 11:30 p.m. before we got home. I think we giggled all the way home. I miss her very much!! Nancy Sudduth

Nick, Garry and Tony, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I wish I had known in time to attend her service. I just loved Peggy, as did everyone. I will miss running into her at the IGA and the post office. We always caught up and had such nice conversations. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Sincerely, Robin

Dear boys, I have such wonderful memories of your mother, we talked nearly everyday at work. She was a perfect mother, always there to help you and others in any way. I hope you all will pass on to your children as much as you can remember of Peggy. This is so important, as so often they adopt the qualities from grandparents when they are aware of them. Again, so sorry, but I know you are so proud of her. I would certainly have come to her funeral, but didn't see it in time.

Nick, Garry, and Tony and families: I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was a very special lady. I have such fond memories of our conversations as she prepared the food for our NHS banquets. My prayers for peace and understanding to you and yours.

Nick, Garry, and Tony, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a special lady. I have such fond memories of her from my years at Riverton Middle School. She was always so kind to everyone. I remember on my 30th birthday, my wife, Carrie (who also attended RMS), asked me what kind of dessert I wanted for my birthday. I told her what I'd really like was "Mrs. Roscwtti's peach cobbler from middle school". My wife called your mother who graciously gave the recipe to her. Still one of my favorite desserts ever from one of the nicest ladies ever To this day, this is still what we call this dessert..."Mrs. Roscetti's peach cobbler". Prayers for your family.

Nic, Tony and Garry, so sorry to hear of your moms passing. She was a very special friend of mine and a very special boss. I worked with your mom for 17 years at the Riverton Middle School. I have so many good memories of her. I remember all of you boys growing up. Your mom was always so proud of all her boys! I'm so sorry I won't be able to attend her service; I'm rehabbing from a long hospital stay. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you boys. - Marsha Jones
