Leo, Lee, Danny, and Michelle,
We are so sad to hear of our dear friend, Peg’s, passing! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time! She was one of the best people we ever knew…a beloved wife, a devoted mother and grandmother and a loyal and true friend! Memories of her will live on forever❤️
All who had the pleasure of working with and being friends with Peg are blessed. She brought out the best in everyone. Thoughts and prayers to all of you. ❤️
Dan, Erin, and Declan, Mairead, and Owen,
so sorry for your loss. I hope that you are doing ok. I look at the obituaries in the Globe on occasion because I grew up in Milton MA, and want to know when classmate’s family may have passed. Dan, did you grow up in Milton? In any case, I hope that you are doing ok. tom(dr f).
Leo and family – we were so saddened to hear of Peg’s death, Although we have not seen each other for several years, you have been in our thoughts and prayers; our happier times at the Retreat House, and at My Brother’s Keeper, and the good times we shared with Fr. Tom and Fr. Dick among our friends doing good for the Lord have often been on our minds. Whenever we pass St. Agatha’s, which we do again, and again, we think of you both. This past summer we were with Craig Dolan who often worships with us here in Mattapoisett; our pastor Fr. Caron, who used to be with us in North Easton, reminds us so much of Fr. Lou Phillipino, another Cursillista. Hopefully Peg, Fr. Tom, Maureen Dolan, Fr. Dick, Fr. Lou, and all of our friends in heaven are sharing some good memories and will be waiting for us all when our time comes. In the meantime, if you make it down to Mattapoisett, have Craig tell you where we may be found. De Colores, and Gods peace to you all. Kathy and Michael
