Peggy. I saw you daily for 4 years because I was always in the office. You let me do my dumb magic tricks, we talked about movies, you helped me go over my lines, you supported my personality and most importantly, you made me feel valid. You were funny, happy, flexible and brought joy to a job that clearly you were meant to have.
Although you worked in the office, I always though of you as a teacher. You taught by

I am so sorry to hear about Peggy! Peggy always had a smile on her face and never seem to let anything bother her! She would laugh off things whenever she had to climb the steps at the high school to unlock a door for me. She always put me in a good mood! Such a lovely lady!!! She will be missed so much! I was blessed to know her!
