Im so sorry to hear about peg, i will miss her at the salon. Peg was a wonderful person, always so thoughtful and careing. Always made a point to ask me about my daughter Ryan. Rest in peace peg.
Sorry to hear of Marguerite’s passing. Taly and I had a great time visiting with her a couple of years ago at her home in Scituate. She told us wonderful stories about my Grandfather and Uncles and her times growing up around Boston. We were glad to have the chance to spend time with her, and remember her fondly. – Pat and Taly Walsh
Dear David, Lisa, Erica & Jarred. We are so sorry to hear about your Mother’s (Grandmothers) passing. Wish we lived closer so we could attend the funeral. We will keep you all in our prayers. Love Caron & Ralph
Dave and Lisa, we have been with you and your family spiritually since we learned the news of Peggy’s passing. She was a wonderful person, and Bob was in tears upon hearing that she was gone. She was so very fortunate to go quickly and peacefully. With love, Bob and Mardie
I am so sorry for you all.
