My heart goes out to Peggy’s family. Although I don’t know exactly what to say, I want you to know that I am with you in thought and prayer; wish you comfort and peace.  

I met Peggy 3yrs ago at Aetna, my previous Manager, Brian Marsella, spoke very highly of her and although we didn’t work side by side, she was helpful during my early transition to the NA NC Market Team. Her presence and laughter will be missed throughout the office.

As you grieve, know that we are remembering and honoring her.


Peggy and I worked together at Aetna for almost 15 years and have sat next to each other for a large part of that time.  I will always remember how hard she worked and all the favors she would do for everyone never asking for anything in return.   She had a huge heart and was always there for one of her team members when they were down and needed someone to talk to.   I'll never forget that contagious laugh of hers and will truly miss hearing her call me a dork for the times when I tried to make her laugh.   Thank you my friend for everything you have done for me.  May God bless you and your family!  I'll miss you!  

My deepest condolences to Peggy's family.   I worked with Peggy at Aetna.  I worked in Dallas and every time I visited the Chicago office, Peggy's smile and sense of humor met me at the door and never left.  I believe she is making St. Peter laugh and smile right now!

Dear O'Keeffe family,
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one.
May the memories that mean the most to your family live forever in your hearts.
Lou & Frieda D'Amore



I rode the Metra Train with Peggy over the last 5 or 6 years or so. There was a group of us that sat together and boy did we have some good times! Peggy was always such a pleasant and fun person to be around. I offer my sincerest prayers and condolences to her family during this time of bereavement.  I will never forget our train rides together, our laughs and all good times we shared.  We love and will miss you dearly, Peggy!!! Your Metra buddies!!! 

To Peggy's family, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss of Peggy.  My thoughts and prayers are will you.  During my years at Aetna, Peggy was always so helpful to me and so many in our office, and a pleasure to work with.  She had a kind, quiet, comforting presence, and a wonderful laugh!  She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

Peggy,
I have so many memeories with you, like the time Glenn took us downtown in his old convertible Mustang driving around the block
multiple times and waving the American flag against the anti war protestors and Glenn blared Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”.
Or the time you helped me move and nothing went right that day, but we got a laugh from it. And you looked so beautiful in the bridesmaids dress for my first wedding. Or that time I was in your car and a deer jumped out and we could not stop. Knowing the police had to put her down, we both cried, but made a pact to donate money to helping save injured deer. 
You had such a huge heart and a love for life. Why did this happen? I’m going to miss you so much 
Sleep sweet Peggy. You’re loved by so many. Including me,
Bobbie Heft-Eggert

Peggy,

I started a new job 26 years ago and that’s where I met you.  I was in my mid-30s, married and a Mother.  You were this 20 year old fresh faced young woman who was full of energy and ambition.  Somehow, despite our age difference and where we were in life, a friendship began.  A friendship that grew stronger as each year passed.  A friendship that meant so much to me.   I cannot even begin to mention all that you have done for me over the years, all the memories that we have shared.  It’s just too much.  

There will be a void in my life now Peg and I will have to figure that out.  I will miss talking to you every day, your quick wit, your sense of humor, your generosity.  I will just miss you being there.  Please know that I love you and that you will always have a very special place in my heart.  I am not going to say good-bye, I’m going to say what I’ve always said – talk to you later……… 

Karen                     


I keep thinking back to when you first became friends with my mom (Karen) and you would come over to our place on Wednesday nights and watch Beverly Hills 90201 and Melrose Place.  I can't thank you enough for being the most amazing best friend to my mom, you were always there for her; from watching Melrose Place together to making cupcakes for my baby shower, thank you.  We love you and will miss you  every day.

Love,
Diana

Peggy, 
A friend first then my manager. Peggy showed me so many different working elements to my job. My grandson adored her, whenever we had a company event she kept him with her and he thought she was the coolest. A giving heart is what I will keep in my memories.
