Oh my friend, I think of you so often.  I tried calling you, I guess you know that.  I found this.  I think of you and wonderful ways often, and am so thankful that you were a part of my life, you taught me so much. You will be happy to know that Masters degree I was working on is almost complete.  You, had a big part in that and I wanted to let you know that I have been busy with it.  Tommy, thank you for your love for her and your caring ways.  It was my honor to call Peg my friend, my boss and my mentor.  Thanks for all your love, support and kindness, you helped me to change my life and direction in so many ways.  I will always miss you, until I see you again!

We only got to meet Peggy once at her daughter's wedding, it was so wonderful to see how much she loved her family. Rest in peace and comfort to her family.

I had the opportunity to encounter this sweet funny lady serveral times while working for MHMR Tarrant County.  She was strong and set an example for clients and co workers alike that won't be soon forgotten.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family and c lose friends.

To all of Peg's family and friends,
First, let me say " thank you " to Tommy for calling to let me know my dear, dear friend had passed. I worked w/ Peggy for many years at MHMR and was honored to also be her friend. She was one of the best drug and alcohol counselors I have ever known.She was "tough as nails" when necessary yet had endless compassion for all those in need.There is no doubt in my mind that for so many people Peg worked with that she helped  to break the generational cycle of addiction and helped countless find hope for the future. This is a great legacy to leave behind and one for all her family to be very proud of.She gave her heart to many and her passing will leave a void for many of us. I know that Peg lived as she wanted and she always stayed true to herself.The biggest part of her heart was her family and she loved them as she did us, with all of it.She never let cancer beat her and is to be admired for the valience with which she fought. We talked often of spirituality and she was seemed to gain a new peace and I believe her faith helped to sustain her. I also believe she found  the serenity she worked so hard for out in the country, working in her gardens and in the house she so loved.So that is how I will remember my dear friend and I take comfort in knowing I will see her again.With great love and admiration, goodbye for now, my friend.

Peggy will never be forgotten by many of those whose life she touched.  A few years ago she and I went to San Francisco and Santa Monica, CA and did we have a blast!!!  Peg was always fun, concerned for others and loved her girls so very much.  She got her wings on Christmas Eve and I think I heard the bell ring!  She will be missed.

Want the family know how special Peggy was to me and so many others at MHMRTC. We would have so much fun yacking it up togather and i can say i really loved Peggy...Godspeed.

Sorry for your loss Tommy were here for you.

SHAY:
JUST KNOW OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND HANK TODAY.  WE KNOW TOO WELL THE LOSS YOU FEEL.  PEG WAS A TRUE WARRIOR IN HER BATTLE.  WE LOVE YOU.

Shay and Hank:
I just wanted to tell you all that Peg was one of my favorite people of all time. We had many good times together. Going to school, race cars and Forest Lane. And riding horses together. The last time I saw her was at my moms funeral. Many moons ago. So sorry to hear of her passing. God love her.
Sincerely,
Claudia Loiselle Mercher
